Alys followed her friend as he began to lead the way out of the woods, listening thoughtfully to his explanations. It seemed typical for the gods to simply not show up when someone called them for something silly, and she found herself nodding with approval. Then she frowned. She didn't approve of the gods. They had abandoned her kind, so why should she want anything to do with them?

It must be nice, she thought, before promptly shoving the thought aside. She'd been fine without the gods for all these years. She didn't need them. "That was nice of them," she said slowly, perhaps a little gruffly. "To keep you from getting something you couldn't use."
