WHO: Yuya + Tehri
WHEN: Early May
WHERE: Greentruth
WHAT: Yuya has some questions about the Aions before them. Tehri might have answers.
WARNINGS: None expected?

It's a few days after the shrines seem to stop releasing new Aions, and those that were retrieved are settled in by those who stay in Godsblood, that Yuya slips back through the portal to Greentruth. Things have settled down enough that it feels like a better time to see if Tehri is free, so that's exactly what he does--ask around to find where she is, and then ask her when she has the time to answer some questions.

He's a little relieved she does--he has no idea, he realizes, how busy or important she might be around the... village? So he smiles. "Um, thanks for talking to me. I was wondering... we're the first Aions to show up in a while, right?"

"Reverse it? Yes, in a way. They can break free of the Kenoma's will at any time if they choose to do so. It isn't easy, but it is possible."

Tehri knows that will sound like the most straight-forward option even if it isn't the most appealing. But a quick fix is rarely available to them. Her expression turn sympathetic.

"If you're asking if there's something that we could make to give to them that would aid in that process? It's possible, but that knowledge has with the Pleroma that fell before me."

Rejecting it had been painful, and that was over a much shorter time... if it was even harder now that it's been months, it wouldn't surprise him.

"What happens when they do break free? Have you ever seen that happen?"

[aionpcs]

Tehri shakes her head.

"When an Aion shifts from one Sect to the other, it's meant to be a slow process. We're responding to a pull deep within us that isn't easily overcome."

Then she sighs, lowering her gaze to look somewhere other than at Yuya.

"...Personally, I have only ever seen one shift towards the Kenoma."

[hippocarnival]

Ah. If the Regent's power has grown since she first arrived...

"I guess it is a lot easier to just... give into despair. It's harder to be hopeful." That he understands very well.

"It's possible, though. To believe. We'll bring them back from the Regent."

[aionpcs]

Tehri nods in agreement, a small smile returning to her face.

"It is." It is unclear what she thinks of those who have turned, but it does seem that she understands the sentiment. "Your arrival has already given hope to so many. It's the first real turn in the tide we've had in decades."
