when it's just the two of us, only the two of us
All thoughts about looking for metal or jewels have vanished from Isla's mind, which is a real shame because there is a jewellery box underneath what Sunjata has just hefted out of the way for her, and the Ascended has completely failed to notice it. If she had a heartbeat it would be thrumming hard in her ears right now, and she's holding her breath even without the need to breathe. So when he says they don't have a problem - when he mentions Frey of all the gods - Isla is completely dumbstruck.
"I... what? For Frey? I don't..." She shakes her head, hoping that Jata will help to fill in the blanks for her, with any luck. "So you aren't here to... you know, smite me?" she asks slowly, the scalpel tips to her fingers slowly melting back into her skin.
