'Trapped is how many see them.' Mort says soothingly. "But it seems to me that understanding is often not extended towards the Voice, so I do what I can, even if it is only to be careful with my language." He adds with a boyish shrug, before nodding to Sah. "So it is with mothers. From the outside what we might see as smothering and controlling from the inside looks like adoration and devotion." Mort's expression remains unbothered as Sah speaks of his past, and indeed the god nods slightly that the Outlander might continue to speak freely.
"It is." Mort acknowledges. "Or at least...it is a marking. A way of denoting that those souls are more likely to pose the same risk and detriment to our world that the Voice has. No other race, not the accepted, the attuned, the fae, nor the merfolk have the ability to reach such levels of power on their own." As for the ascended? "The ascended are marked insofar as the Voice has taken them as her own."
