"(Celestial) You don't need to apologize, the question just caught me unawares," Rihyan replies to Aurilia, "(celestial) some of the others already know more about my past, like the fact the one that devoured my father eventually ended up in my stomach."<br/><br/>He listens a little more to her words, "(celestial) I think the reasons are beyond many people, particularly those that used to live here in the Pact Nation. Something seems to be driving people to eat, some that would never have done it before, and those that had resisted the tempatation along with those that would have done anyway. It may well be whatever that is behind this long winter, I don't know, that is part of what we're trying to find out."<br/><br/>He smiles a little at her words of thanks and her worries. "(Celestial) You're welcome, and do not worry too much about it. Leska may have been a big meal for your first, but you handled her quite well. I also beleive if you needed to, you could probably enact judgement again, though you may need help capturing the one to enact judgement on. If you had been alone, I think that you might have been consumed yourself, especially with where you appeared, but you weren't, and are not now, and I doubt you will be any time soon, unless something happens to me," he lets that impication lie, "so that is not something you need to worry about."
