She chuckled. "You get used to the odd ones, they are kind of plentiful."
"Mind me bringing the conversation back a moment?" she would ask. "If you are from God Territory, is there a Right you are trying to achieve?"

Kaia would look more than happy to answer that.
"Absolutely. I'm going to become Phobos." she says, with no small level of certainty.

"Phobos..." she had a moment to try and remember who that might be. She hammered a fist into her palm when the idea struck. "Oh Phobia Phobos!" she would say as that was one of the ways she remembered most Godly names easier by rhyming them. "God of Fear and Child of Ares?"

"Don't forget Aphrodite." she'd wink.
"But the very one. Everything that name stands for is everything I want." she'd say, growing excited at how much closer to her destiny she was becoming.
"What about you?"

"I've had a recent change of heart since my parents passing I think... I used to want to be Apollo but it didn't really occur to me what that meant before then... I am undecided at this point... Maybe Sekmet or Nike would be awesome." she grinned. "That is the arts and music of Apollo don't really suit me... I absorb the sun to fuel my Qi though. So you can see why I thought that was a good choice"

"Yeah, Apollo would come to mind if you're thinking of just the Sun." Kaia would nod.
"Some good alternatives. If you really vibe with the sun theme though there's probably plenty more but Sekhmet would probably fit all your categories, right? Sun, check. War because who doesn't love some fighting? Check. Plus that lion head, girl."

Rhona shook her already mass amount of mane playfully and chuckled. Brushing her hair back once more her pearl earrings were visible.
Jokes aside. "It is just hard to wrap my head around an Egyptian mindset after if grown up with some very heavy Greek influence. In my Father's training school we chose young what Gods we looked up to and learned all there was to know about what we chose. But he didn't know much about what my mother could teach me, arts, music, being a healer... I just wanted to be the god of the sun and that meant nothing less than ferocity and strength because that seat is hard to fill and I was going to do it. But I was stupidly stubborn and ignored her teachings and I feel like if I were to change now... All their efforts are wasted not just Mom's."
She shrugged. "I might be holding on to them too much, I feel this is the only way I can remain calm, instead of burning with an anger that hey were murdered." Her hands glowed in the fist they made as she spoke about them. Rhona was no doubt one who would be two wrong steps to anger. She kept up. Strong front but it was not deep to discover, like a shallow grave just waiting for a good storm. She took a breath to calm herself and her hands returned to normal.

Kaia wouldn't interrupt her at any point, letting the young woman speak freely about her concerns. What Kaia wasn't expecting was to roll into the topic of her past. Yeah, talking about Godrights was cool and all, but, that would have to take a backseat for a bit.
Kaia's expression would become more serious, if not a bit sympathetic.
"How did it happen?" she'd ask, letting it hang in the air briefly before thinking on making sure Rhona knew was she was referring to.
"Your parents, I mean. How did it happen?"

Rhona looked at her with a bit of surprise at her question.
"Oh, I guess I spoke a bit much. I apologize." She felt sheepish for doing so. "I don't usually talk about it I have a hard time handling it even after these past couple of years. Our home became a route for illegal trade as it was a quiet dirt path throughout the mountain. My parents tricked mend sent me away and fought them off... Our home burned and they had been killed." She bit the inside ofher cheeks to check herself."
She was at Cabal because she didn't have a home to go back to. Truth plain and simple.

"I'm sorry." Kaia would say softly, before crossing her arms and looking up in thought. She wasn't necessarily the best at comforting others, but she wasn't uncomfortable with this sort of thing, either.
"Well, I understand the thing about honouring them through your chosen path a little better now. I'll admit changing your mind was probably the right choice though. Your Rite is about you, not anyone else. So it doesn't make sense to essentially become pieces of your parents."
She'd turn to look at Rhona more fully.
"I wouldn't say any teachings are wasted. You learned those things weren't for you. That's still learning something."

"mhm..." Kaia wasn't good at comforting and Rhona doesn't want to be comforted. Still even if she didn't mean to Kaia's words struck a cord with Rhona. "I suppose you are right, somehow we forget the simplest truths. Consider us even for wrapping up your bandages and you wrapping up my conscience."

She'd give a wry smile before giving a firm nod.
"Sounds good to me. Hope you find who you wanna be."

"Oh you mentioned a Blonde someone on my team? Is he from God Territory too?" She would ask.

She suddenly looks annoyed at the very thought of him.
"Yes. Unfortunately."

"Does he have a god in mind, just what is he like?" She scratched her head. "The way you are reacting to it he might be some trouble."
