[impetere]

[She nods a bit.]

I slept most of it off. The rest of it faded. I'm not the only one though, it seemed to happen to a lot of people who just got here.

[better]

Maybe it's because this whole place seems to be getting worse.

[She sighs.] Isaac is out there now. He's on some quest or something. Off fighting or looking for something. [She didn't want to think about it. She knew it was important though.]

[impetere]

[She nods a bit.]

Do they send people out a lot?

[better]

Probably more than we realize. It's not as though there's a large broadcast that gets announced through the whole city.

[impetere]

Do the gods or whatever know we're doing it? Do they have to go with us?

[ She thinks it's kind of weird that they would just let them go on their own. ]

[better]

I don't really know. I think Isaac knows more about it. I try to not deal with them.

[She pauses.]

A while back, Isaac was manipulated by them. They made him do horrible things. Him and others and they managed to convince me that I was the one doing them.

[She shrugs.]

[impetere]

[Her eyes narrow a bit at that because that is definitely not a great first impression of the gods. Not that she already has a high one, given her circumstances of getting here, but that doesn't really make it better either.]

Sounds like they have a really great way of inspiring morale.

[Kidnap their troops, take away anything that would make them useful, give them something new they don't know how to use and then mess with their heads. That's a great way to win a war.]

[better]

I think when you start off by kidnapping people against their will... there's only so much you can do to inspire them to fight for your cause.

[impetere]

[She nods.]

Or wait for the Stockholm Syndrome to kick in.

[better]

Well, I wouldn't say it'd be called that. I mean, I do sort of prefer it here than to back home.

[impetere]

[Cora can see why she would.]

But do you want to fight their war?

[better]

If it means I could stay here... maybe.

[impetere]

[Cora nods slowly. She can't really argue with that logic. And if anything, she wants Erica to stay alive somewhere, even if it isn't home.]

Okay.

[It's not much of an affirmation, but it's something.]

[better]

[Erica nods.]

It's all I have right now.

[impetere]

No, I know.

[She looks up at her and her face is serious.]

And I want you to have that. I just wish it was more than being stuck in the middle of some cosmic war.

[She deserved more than that. To go from an alpha pissing match to all of this - she deserves better. But she understands taking what you can get better than anyone. Sometimes you do what you have to do.]

[better]

Back home it's in the middle of a kanima war and a power struggle. [She shrugs.]

Everywhere has its battles.

[impetere]

Yeah.

[But at least the ones back home were theirs. Here it just feels like they're being drafted into a war they didn't even realize was happening.]

I'd just feel better if I was more ... me.

[better]

[Erica wouldn't agree with that. The battle was Derek's. It was what he had put them in the middle of and unprepared most of the time, too.]

I get that.

[impetere]

[The alpha pack made it hers when they threw her in that vault, took away her control, killed Boyd (killed Erica). The darach made it hers when she conned her brother, poisoned her, took Derek off on some suicide mission to kill Deucalion. And Derek said he was fine, but she hasn't lived it to see for herself yet.]

We'll figure it out eventually.

[better]

Hopefully.

[impetere]

[She nods in agreement, letting that settle for a moment before:]

So. Tour?

[better]

Definitely.

[and then there's a tour.]
