[ He still looks extremely apprehensive -- he's glad to hear Eupha say this rather than not, but it feels too uneasy to just accept her words and relax. It doesn't change what he'd done and the state he'd gotten into when doing it. ]
I am still sorry you had to see that. Maybe we should leave before anything else is dragged out of me.
[ Granted he doesn't think it can get worse from here on a personal level but like... there's a lot of things he's seen that he doesn't think Euphausia should be forced to witness so. ]
[ she will stop to place a hand on his forearm briefly, as a sort of reassuring gesture, before continuing forward.

You see villagers gathered before their chief, clamouring for action. There are intruders on the island, they say. Sanctists, come to steal the divine relics. They must be put to death. The chief tries to calm them, explaining that the outsiders have done no harm, but they will not be placated. This is but the latest in a series of disasters.
[ Well Eupha seems. Quite proud of all of this, but Marcoh is glancing down at her with a little worry to debate how he should react since she did the same for him.
After all, they said sacrifice and that's rarely ever not scary when talking about a living person. ]
[ The Welsh are cooler... I guess that makes sense, I was like S...Scottish??? Irish??? No, maybe Scottish,,, but it sounded a little bit different so I wasn't totally sure. ]
...You are a sibling too, then.
[ Maybe a thing or two makes more sense now. She has that vibe to him. ]
They are mysterious. Especially the Old Gods that are older than time. They can bless people with their boons or domain but anyone who claims they've spoken directly to them is probably talking hot air. It is like saying you have spoken to Death or Love itself.
He is just not as popular, I think. Gro-goroth is the god of death and destruction, but many people believe in that. Sylvian is the goddess of love, and that goes for people, even if it is in the strange way old gods do. Rher is not known to much like mankind though.

I knew I was angry, too.
[ It was personal. ]

I don't think that what you did was good. But I don't think that it makes you a bad person, either.

I've seen how kind you are. To me, that is what defines you, more than those moments of anger.

They are right. It is time to perform the ritual.

Yes. My brother raised me after we lost our parents.
[ ... so, marcoh's situation was really quite relatable. ]
He had so many responsibilities, taking over as chief... but he always had time for me. I was very blessed to have a brother like him.

[ Imagine that. ]
You have a Dragon God?
[ He knows Eupha is like, a religious people loosely, but dragon god... ]
no subject
The Dragon God Eht is the protector deity of our island. As its priestess, I have a unique spiritual connection to it.
