WESSEX
He’s right, she could take him out in a blow or two, and that is no small thing. Fortunately for Sunjata, there are several things, or people, rather, working in his favor - Nate, Aurelia, and Frey. So Wessex could, but she wouldn’t, unless it came down to an Ascended’s life or his. Maybe Sunjata can tell (that’s stupid, of course he can tell) that something has suddenly shifted inside the Wraith - or has at least begun to.
Had their relationship really been that… dour?
She grimaces in sympathy, not missing the ability to feel pain at all. She’s forgotten that there was pain at her Ascension, so rosy has that part of her origin story become. The weakness during the day, the problems with sunlight, they were both always worth it. Much like the Flood’s burning.
“... Okay.” Finally, she nods and finds some kind of acceptance in his new position. Acceptance for now and the rest can come later. “Thanks for telling me. I hope this change is everything you and Nate need it to be.” For Nate's sake. He’s still ultimately l for the Old Gods, she needs to remember that, and it’s why she doesn’t circle back to earlier parts of their conversation, just offers him a small smile. “The three of us should fly together some time.”
