“I didn’t want your help!” I practically roared. “I don’t want anything from you and your stupid court! I wish you’d left me alone—I wish you’d left me alone on the very first day we met, when I was burning on that platform!”
Fuck :( I’ve really liked Karys up until this point. I haven’t expected her to drop her vengeance quite so soon, but I was very much hoping she wouldn’t digress like she currently is. I’ve liked her because of how smart she’s been so far, albeit with a curiosity that leans towards the dangerous side, but this doesn’t feel smart to me. She came here without all of the answers, clearly, and still has received hardly any but has spent enough time with the Shade court to realize that not everything is what she thought it was concerning the gods and their behaviors. However, her “family” just essentially cast her out for disagreeing with their endless warmongering and for daring to want to pause and think things through more thoroughly. So it’s disappointing that she’s lashing out towards to people who have literally no history with her or general obligation to help her (especially after she entered this entire ordeal under false pretenses to overthrow them) and yet are the only one’s that seem genuinely concerned for her well being and interested in her companionship for who she ACTUALLY is.
