No offering? Nothing? Theo didn't really believe Wessex when she said he could just go to a shrine and ask the Voice for whatever he wanted. Sounded like a good way to get cursed. But still ... if the Voice was so generous, perhaps he'd see his way to asking something of her someday. She certainly sounded more welcoming than the Old Gods, who'd probably just spit in Theo's face for asking.
And then there was Arialla, shouting, baring scars, etc. Still, her arguments didn't manage to hit on anything Theo actually cared about. An Ascended had attacked her in the street? As Wessex had pointed out, people got randomly attacked all the time.
Still, that was a lot of dead and wounded Ascended, a lot of hate directed at them. Theo wasn't inclined to make himself a target by siding with them right now. Instead he shrugged and slipped off into the crowd without another word.
(Theo out!)
