That mage hand is coming in clutch, Velo, thank you.
"The Lliirans you've met have all probably been close to Sune," Naeris confirms, "My dad was one of her favorites, actually."
Was.
It hurts to think that Githal's undying loyalty to the goddess had been thrown away over something that wasn't his fault (and something that arguably be seen as Naeris' fault, instead). He still had Lliira, who would never abandon him over a matter as arbitrary as a scarred body, but the principle still stands.
As for Coruthel...
Well, Naeris got her defiant streak from somewhere.
"Once, both my dad and my mom were close with Sune. They're closer with Lliira, and they're still with Lliira, but it's not uncommon for that kind of overlap. Mom, um, you've never met her, but her hair is short. I've never seen it long, but according to Dad, it used to go down to her hips. She cut it because it got in the way on a mission where she had to protect Dad. I don't know the details outside of that, but Sune was angry enough about it that she gave Mom the cold shoulder. Mom's kept her hair short ever since. Just to make a point. Sune still loved Githal, though."
When they reach the yurt, Naeris dips inside and immediately searches for a table to place her sundae on.
"That's, um, that's just an example of how seriously she takes the hair thing. Does it make sense?"
