She has fallen into the excited, breathless cadence of a Hermetic offering a counterargument. I was ready to hurt my friends because I could see her curled up on a venting, broken space station with nobody there for her, and is that love?"Īt this point, she is pacing. when I told her that maybe I had feelings for her, but she didn't know it was me because I was in disguise, she punched a wall into pieces and started screaming at Aphrodite! And I think I do have feelings for her but that's not the kind of thing you can have in a palace because she had to do what I said and what if I told her to do something she didn't want to do, like kiss me, and she didn't want to but she did it anyway and she hated me for the rest of forever? And then she's been chasing us and she's been a really different person and she's been mean and when I thought she was dying and abandoned I tried to turn this whole ship around? I could have really hurt Mynx and Dolce, I could have killed them, because it felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest thinking about her sad and weak and alone, do you know how much she hates being alone? She pretends she wants her privacy sometimes but I can tell, she's always been there for me, always. So she's on the ship and she won't let me find her, but there's so much I need to say to her! I need to apologize for what happened on Salib and I need to tell her that I'm glad she's alive and I need to tell her that I missed her and that I'm sorry for the closet, it's just that I panicked and she hit me and she was going to stop me from leaving at all and I don't know if she hates me or if she. she hates it out here, she thinks it's cold and dark and dangerous, but she can't go home. Only she thought I was someone else then, because Lord Aphrodite allowed me to wear his cloak as a disguise, and she thought I was someone else, someone who she could spend time with, and. She chased us down all the way from Tellus, and she helped us defeat Sagakhan, but I don't know if that's because they were enemies, and. She used to be," Redana corrects herself.

I don't know how much you know about her. "Do you think she'll be okay? Bella, I mean. And nothing could take that away from her! Not even. She made the choice! She became a Hermetic the moment she reached out her hand and asked Bella to come with her across the stars. Just like you did." And nothing can take that away from her. Just like she wanted to keep me safe." She rolls the thought around in her mouth. "Mother told you not to keep going out past Tellus.

Redana's eyes widen as she absorbs what her mentor has just laid out for her.
