[If Kisara would try to say that Shionne and Alphen were close, Shionne would disagree vehemently. It doesn't matter that they've spent the longest time together and that he's literally the only person that can touch her without passing out from the pain. It doesn't matter. Not important. Doesn't mean anything.

Nope.

However, he's not as annoying as he once was to her, so that has to mean something, right?

Kisara's statement makes Shionne start.]

No, I don't think so. I mean, what are gods? We don't have them on Dahna, Rena or Lenegis. The closest would be the sentience behind an overabundance of astral energy, but that's pushing it.

[The apology from the former guardswoman startles Shionne and she just stares for a minute.]

Renans have done awful things to the Dahnans. And while I might not have done it myself, it's true that I didn't really care about the suffering that was so far removed from me when I was on Lenegis. I'm not so sure that I'm much better than the other Renans, truth be told.
