Tae could feel her loyalties being torn.
On the one hand, she had an unwavering devotion to the Sun God. If she had taken nothing else from Gaucho, she had that. That he had seen fit to raise Sikeax from her position as healer to Sultana was not a decision she would actively question.
However what many had said as of late seemed appropriate. She had no experience but seemed to be making rash decisions.
Tae's pale eyes were not ignorant of the triangle that she could now see, between the boy Zhu, son of Sikeax, and Volterra. Tyrath had also adopted the from healer as a parent, and he too was a son of Volterra.
And now Volterra had ascended to one of the most important positions within their herd, without even having been a member. Without wings.
Tension wracked the girls' body as her eyes starred unbelieving around. There were more faces that she didn't recognize, than ones she did. With her teeth clenched, the mandible-marked filly moved to stand near Ampere and -- ? Her pale eyes looked at Iskra for only a moment, for there wasn't place in her mind or hearth for this potential new brother. Now, there was only rage and grief and confusion.
So, with a small huff, she stood by Ampere's side. She was too young to do anything about what was happening: she could not challenge, and so there was no point in yelling. Still, her eyes washed skeptically over the new upper class of the Throat.

this was your heart, this swarm of flies
This was once your mouth - this bowl of lies
