She could not accept the sadness that hinted in Eris' smile, for she could not understand her non-sister's choice in partner. Perhaps he had been the first to father children with the sable-hued woman, but Tlantli couldn't see why he would be the last. Eterne had shown her such things; slaves were used as broodmares for families, and the lesser creatures of her home laid claim to children of many men. Why had Eris not passed over Larkspur as others had passed over the slaves? Why did he hold more importance to be a father than they, when he was so much less? These questions couldn't be voiced to the Auxiliary, as much as Tlantli was curious.
The subject was passed over as the ritual began, and she allowed it to rest out of her mind; it would be Eris' choice in who she rested her head beside, for Eris was her own woman, and a strong one at that. The golden shaman shifted on the ground, crossing her athletic legs beneath her petite body at the woman's request. Comfortable was easy for her. Fiery eyes gazed into the pits of the fire before her and all was cleared from her head. She knew scars, for she had many gracing her muscles, and she knew what the process would entail. Blood. Pain. Time. But comfort was easy to achieve, and perhaps it was that she rather enjoyed the feel of a blade severing tissue that made it so easy to undergo the process.
A deep breath filled her lungs before being expelled into the air. "Aye ahm ready."
