Safrin
Chuckling, Safrin gives her head a slight shake. "No, I think we have had enough tired and grumpy at our meetings, from both of us." This latter statement is added with a low laugh, that makes Safrin look exquisitely beautiful, and tired. The mention of Sunjata has her expression wilting, but her gaze doesn't darken as she turns her eyes up to his.
"No, I am not disappointed. Whether conscious or not, I am proud of the choice you made. It takes much to be the bigger man, and I admit that's a quality I think you possess far more than I do." Vindictive was rarely an attribute that followed Ronin Taliesin, quite the way it followed Safrin. "But...there is something about Sunjata I wanted to speak to you about." So saying the goddess turns herself towards him, offering out both her hands now to clasp his beneath their laps. 'What I told him I believe to be true. If Sunjata bartered for his and Nate's safety, then barring the Voice's decision otherwise, they will both be held beneath the ground somewhere. Frey has done it before.
And..." Suddenly her voice grows tight, but her fingers remain soft in Ronin's. "She has recently attuned and aged up past the point where I can protect her. Sunjata was supposed to keep her safe, and now..." Trailing off as her throat is suddenly filled with ice, tears roll openly down her cheeks. "I suppose I was a fool for thinking I could trust him with a life. A fool for thinking Sunjata could ever love something else as much as he loves his own destruction." But she had, and now Kamaria was in danger.
"Know that I am asking this of you, Ronin. There are others I could entrust her with, but none I believe in more than you. She is older now, a young woman, but she will still need someone to help her in this world. To guide and guard her.."
