i reach out to my lifeline, the angels laugh in paradise
El watched Sohalia's features carefully as she took in the information, waiting for the look of disgust, the posture of fear, the stare at their wrists and fingertips. But none of that came. Instead, Sohalia looked relieved and smiled at El, coming closer with an air of gentle concern. El was surprised, of course, while also having a small suspicion that Sohalia may have been hiding their feelings. They would never know for sure. At least, for now, things seemed to be alright.
"Sure, let's go." A small smile tentatively formed on their face in response to Sohalia. To be from the Hollowed Grounds of all places, and not react badly. Many of El's own neighbors distrusted the Abandoned as a whole, since the Voice had been one herself and caused so much strife as she conflicted with the Old Gods. They feared them for their power and rejected them for their disrespect to the gods, unintentional for many though it was.
Pondering this and saying nothing, Eleftheria dropped the remnants of the bolt to the ground and followed Sohalia into the Refuge.
