[ it’s almost impossible for dextera to stand against someone who’s so assured, when he himself is full of skittish doubt for his current position. he believes firmly that even one individual member of the kenoma being present in godsblood is an omen for far worse in the future, but he knows better than anyone that reason doesn’t work with the entrenched.
it’s just, though he knows the people who have lived here in godsblood all their lives would put up more of a fight—probably already have—than dextera is, they’re all only human. if the regent wanted to invade with the aions on their side now, it wouldn’t be difficult. ]

hard against the paper, he writes quickly. ]
You like it the way it is. Obedience will destroy it. So don’t ruin it.
