And where are your gods now?

I killed them all.

[tongue_of_lime]

Did you enjoy it?

[a_time_slip]

No, it was done when I was really pissed off at them, but I'm glad they're dead and I would kill them all again.

[tongue_of_lime]

Why were you angry?

[a_time_slip]

They killed someone, and tried to kill me and my daughter. That was the last straw, so I killed them all.

[tongue_of_lime]

Eye for an Eye, then. Their rules. It's fair.

[a_time_slip]

Where are your gods?

[tongue_of_lime]

I have none.

[a_time_slip]

You don't know them.

[tongue_of_lime]

I know them. I turned my back on them.

[a_time_slip]

[She holds up a pearl ring] What's this about?

[tongue_of_lime]

It's a pearl ring.

[a_time_slip]

What will happen if I toss it back into the river?

[tongue_of_lime]

Perhaps a fish will eat it, and when you buy a fish and cut into it, you will find the ring in its stomach.

Or perhaps it will sink to the bottom and be lost in the weeds

[a_time_slip]

I'm going to send it to where it belongs.

[tongue_of_lime]

And you know where that is?

[a_time_slip]

I don't have to know. Lynn's better at it, but all I do is send it away.

[tongue_of_lime]

And your boyfriend's life?

[a_time_slip]

I don't want anything to hurt them, so I took it. I don't trust you.

[tongue_of_lime]

[She doesn't look particularly concerned]

Did I do something to deserve that mistrust?

[a_time_slip]

Your timeline doesn't make sense. That's the major reason.

[tongue_of_lime]

It makes sense... Time is just not important.

[a_time_slip]

Not when your timeline looks like that.

[tongue_of_lime]

It is how I like it.

[a_time_slip]

I can fix it.
