Between2Worlds [Story] 06/04

So, is this what Athena's appeared like to everyone he's encountered her so far? To Ares, for instance? Possibly even to Eva? Is it a permanent disguise she's wearing, or does she only slap it on sometimes? I'd hazard to guess the former - she had no reason to disguise herself to Eva, per say, since she wouldn't have known Eva has any awareness of her. Not to mention that given the Aelrendths are looking for her, she can't be too careful, so makes sense why she'd have her disguise on at all times.

Now, as frustrated as I am by the fact Curtis refused to follow his instincts here (even though I understand why he did), I am pleased that my prediction/hope that he would not know who she is came true in a way. She has no memories of him up until the party at Trevor's, so reversing their roles this way places them on a more level ground. They never had a chance to make their relationship work once she lost her memories, but this way, they just might. Providing they both survive whatever is going to happen.

And we got lore! Interesting tidbit about casters and weavers. Is that distinction determined by their innate abilities, or is it more of a lifestyle choice, I wonder? Also, I wonder if Isaias could be a weaver. So far, we've only seen him cast spells in high pressure situations.

Finally, as much as I think Roidth is full of... hearts, flowers and pumpkins, whatever the current emoji for bleep is... I do sort of hope Athena takes him up on the offer to come learn more about the Aelrendths, because I'm curious about how they operate. This reminds me of an RPG where a dubious faction is like "come to our HQ, give us a chance and you'll see we're totally not sketchy" and you get there and it's all very nice, but once you do some digging, you indeed find plenty of sketchy stuff :D Man. You make me want to start a new Fallout character. Ok, random RPG tangent over, lol.
