Ooh boy!

Although her tongue sat still, Clover’s heart could not. Pale straw eyes looked on as the Auxiliary prepared for her ritual, but the Lykoi girl could not do a thing but silently watch. The commotion of the loner’s capture had first caught the attention of the heart-faced girl and from then she had become part of the audience that had gathered about their sable leader.

She didn’t understand everything that she was witnessing, but Clover knew it was all for the sake of their Salsolan family. Still, the blood made her stomach somersault. The strong aversion to violence that had been instilled in her since her childhood was still largely present, and yet the girl could not bring herself to leave. Just as she had witnessed the violence of war while she lived amongst her family of Inferni, she would witness the gore of this sacrifice with her family of Salsola. The world was not always a pretty place, despite Clover’s preference to believe so.

When Molca paused before her, pale yellow fell to the bowl that had been held out to her. Just as Eris had done, Clover dipped slender fingers into the bowl and brought the paste to her own tongue. The hint of mint was apparent and Clover believed she knew of its other potent ingredient. When her fingers had been licked clean of the paste, the coyote slave moved on.

Clover turned her gaze back upon the Auxiliary and the blood soiled Loner. For now her vision had not changed, but as time went and as more blood was spilt, perhaps Clover would then see this sacrifice as Eris did.
