Capítulo 348: Leadership

AARYN

Aaryn watched Gar carefully, praying that the male wouldn't vent his frustrations on his sister—or hold back secrets—but would give her what she was asking for. He was seeing a new softness in Gar around his family, but it still came and went. He wasn't sure how the male was doing this morning after the emotional events of the day before.

As the silence lengthened, he considered speaking up himself.  Aaryn understood some of what came after this for the disformed, though he hadn't realized why. He'd always believed that they were teaching their people to think independently because of the pressure they came under within their tribes at times. Many of the disformed lived lives tainted by anxiety, or a sense of inadequacy. Aaryn had believed they were strengthening their people to meet that so they could walk among the rest of the Anima, equipped to deal with the bigots when they showed themselves.
