Evie
I see what lies heavy on your heart
It's a crime that she misses his covert pocketing of the moss, because it will likely bite her in the ass later - but she is far too distracted with her prayers and the overall beauty of a shrine she has not had the honor of seeing before. They give each other the space and time they both need for their honors, and only then does Evie maneuver past gifts and growth alike to return to Deimos' side - just in time to pose her question.
"I guess it's a silly question since it's tied to being Abandoned anyway, which is already a hurdle with most heralds." Shaking her head slightly, fiery hair swaying loose, the Evergreen gives a slightly self-conscious smile and a shrug. "I was wondering if I should pray to her the next time I visit a shrine. For Halo, or just my own desires. I know Frey is our unofficial patron of course," she hastens to include, aware that Safrin - vain and fond of loyalty - would likely be unhappy if called upon so late in the game. "But I don't know if she would be as personally accepting of me as Frey - my magic is pretty evenly split between Vi and Rae if we were to ascribe them realms, but it's magic all the same." And therefore just as tainted as any other in the eyes of the Old Gods.
