I think... gods are probably... the equivalent of that sentience, right? Something that people might not necessarily be able to see, but put faith into?
[Because living life without reason or faith can be a tricky subject to get around. Kisara's never personally needed that kind of reasoning herself, and she can't imagine anyone back on Dahna has, but it seems like the people here almost need it in order to function.
Or maybe that's a hop, skip, and a jump toward a conclusion she doesn't have adequate evidence for.
When Shionne pauses, so too does Kisara. She isn't sure how likely she would have said such a thing to her back home. Maybe she wouldn't have. Shionne has, to Kisara's knowledge, always rather liked keeping to herself. But the fact of the matter is that Shionne has, unfortunately, been put into the position of answering for the crimes of her people. The Dahnans have every right to be overcome with rage and anger. This is, at least, three hundred years of mistreatment and abuse that they've weathered over time.]
I... maybe. But you want to stop it all now. That has to mean something. It's better than just moving along like it's not happening. Ignorance is easy. Acknowledging something's wrong and trying to do something about it? That's a lot harder. The others might not say it, but I'm grateful for all of the help we can get. No matter what the source is.
