Amun's steps stuttered to a stop as the words began pouring out of Maea. Up ahead, Zhanshi paused but the potter told the lanshark to take a break. Frowning, Amun met her gaze and let her unpack her heart and fears. Only when it was clear she was finished did he start walking again.
"You don't have to be there yet." Sighing, he let out a huff of laughter. "But you're wrong about the war and the barrier. I'm sorry, you just are. She never sought conflict, the old gods forced it on her. They're the ones that declared the Acquired were now the Abandoned, that erected the barrier, that made the choice to condemn your ancestors, your family, you, to life under the dome."

You don't have to stop now but...you'll need to find a way to live with it eventually." He shook his head.

Works for you but that isn't me
