The coyote was able to ignore the anxiety with ease as she began to talk. There was nothing to fear in a Kimaris cast from the ruins of floundering hybrid blood, one who did not hold the Atotoztli amongst the clouds as religious visionaries. Though she did not know the importance, nor did she understand the unease, of the dark woman at her side, Tlantli wasn't her family. Slaves were commonplace in Eterne. In her travels, on her knees for passage to Freetown most of the time since she left her kingdom, she realized the error in slavery. Without hierarchy, without structure, everyone could feel the brunt of slave work. Miqui and Imacai? They'd been lucky. Stealing was so much easier than dealing with the filth that passed through her legs in Barbados. She wondered, sometimes, if they realized just what she endured to bring them to safety.
Her hybrid companion was caught by surprise at her words! It brought yet another laugh from the Eternian, pyrohue eyes softening slightly. There was no concern for the woman's unease; she didn't truly care about the well-being of the creature beside her at all. Her amusement stemmed purely from the shock. The lost Eternian expressed the new caves being different. Without delusion. Tlantli only smiled.
"Eef you live wit'out the Sun for too long, aye think the darkness will drive anyone to delusions." It wasn't praise to her fiery Helios, but rather a personal opinion that stemmed from internal observations. Something in Eterne was wrong. It always came with religion. Practitioners lived in the caves (or the pure ones, at least). Darkness created insanity, where the sunlight banished such things. Even the most complete psyche could be destroyed by the shadows if exposed for too long.
