SUNJATA
clipped wings and you're the one holding the bone saw
now things are getting so out of control

There were a few places in King’s End that the merfolk could go, and perhaps with any luck of the potential of new people moving into the outlanded region, there might be the opportunity to make it more habitable for them. But for now the priority was making it safer.
As for the shift in conversation? Sunjata inclines a small smile toward the Tidebreaker as he rises up to meet him half way, the Flood’s tail waving idly in the cold Deepfrost river beneath him. It gives him pause, trying to figure out just how he wants to respond, and it’s with an almost apologetic smile that he finally decides on an answer.
“I don’t regret it, no. But only because of who my parent god is.” He knows how close Torchline is to Safrin, but if Hadama wants the honest truth, Sunjata can give it to him. “Safrin had tried to make me hers for weeks before I spoke with Frey.” He starts off gently. “But… I think had I chosen to stay with Safrin I would have regretted it. Frey, on the other hand, has been less hands on.” He rolls a shoulder casually. “They let me keep my shifts, though I don’t know if that was the original intention or if they knew I’d been debating Safrin’s offer.” He works his jaw and looks away from Hadama, out over the water, lowering his hand into it to feel the biting cold in his fingertips.
“I didn’t have to think about it. They told me I could keep my shifts and they would do their best to keep my family safe.” Which… Hadn’t worked, obviously. “They gave me all the help and advice I could need to make the safe haven and not feel like I was someone else’s pawn.’ To not become like Ronin; and here he was, not Frey’s pawn in the way Safrin would have them be. Bowing down and choosing her over everyone else. “So… Not much has changed. Magic is something I am unused to, but between the gifts and everything Frey has done for me since becoming their demigod? I don’t regret it for a second.” And if he had to do it over again, he would have stuck with Frey the entire time. “Now, the circumstances on the other hand…”

the spiraling starts and we can't pull up, our hands are tied together so,
on the way down, we make every moment count
on the way down, we make every moment count
Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3
Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.
