I have never feared the storm
Sah's lips twitched slightly, one hand going to stroke Umbra as well. Lilly too, pressed against Sah and Seren's legs in support. "I'm not surprised at all. If there's one thing that I know for sure about you, is that you have a good heart. There's no way someone like you would be ok with every aspect of this war, of what the gods want." Sah assured Seren. Her concern for him made something deep in him ache. Her reluctance but determination to leave him alone if he wished it, hurt even more.
Hearing Seren lament her shackles in this war, shackles he'd hare as her friend, had the Outlander sighing. Gently, Sah reached out and cupped her cheek, giving the Demi-god a gentle smile, wiping the moisture from her eyes. "I know. Seren, I know what being your friend entails. I've known since we first met. And I'm still here, with no intention of leaving." His eyes met hers, willing her to understand. "It's a choice that I've made of my own volition. You haven't pushed me into it. And as dear to me as you are, I'll make my own choices in this war. You won't force my hand, because I'd never let you." It was stated bluntly, as factually as it was.
Sah was a stubborn and proud person. Highly individualistic. Seren wouldn't be able to sway him once he'd made up his mind. And right now only a few things were certain. Those things being that Sah did not want to be Seren's enemy, he wanted to protect his friends and loved ones including Seren, and he did not want to destroy the Ascended. And for the foreseeable future, he refused to bow to any of Caido's gods.
