Arguments were almost as good as what she really wanted. "Do I need to be, Terriswoman? Who defines trust anyway? You can trust me to do plenty of things, and you can trust that I know secrets you and your scholars can only dream of."

"Do I need to be, Terriswoman? Who defines trust anyway? You can trust me to do plenty of things, and you can trust that I know secrets you and your scholars can only dream of." Eryn smiled slightly. “True. Sovereign not trustworthy. Always he has secrets.” She paused, then continued, “nor me. Have secrets too. Nor any member of crew. Thieves, assassins, spies, saboteurs. Not trustworthy. But CAN be trusted. Worthiness not factor.”

She gave Marie a flat look. "OH, COME ON!" she yelled, she got a grip on her emotions "Do you really expect us to trust you?" Just now, Condensation said: "Eryn? Why can't you trust her?" "Uh... Well... You see... There is this... Um... Thing." She winced at her words.

"Some people don't trust people with spikes in them," Marie said as an aside to the girl. "We frighten them." 1 minute ago, Random Bystander said: She gave Marie a flat look. "OH, COME ON!" she yelled, she got a grip on her emotions "Do you really expect us to trust you?" "Why shouldn't you?" Marie said, letting hurt slip over her face. "Is it because -" I've been commanded not to hurt any of you, or because I have a god watching me? Her lips wouldn't move. She stumbled verbally for a moment before catching herself and snapping, "Because people had to die to create what I am?" It wasn't the sarcasm she'd meant to say. She hadn't really meant to say that at all; but she'd forgotten Adilie's order not to speak of the control and hadn't had a backup plan.

Let’s us run free across Cosmere. Serve according to conscience. Only two rules must obey, and only if CHOOSE to join: Crew does not harm Crew. And cannot work against Crew. “But if think Sovereign wrong may disobey or leave anytime. Ett command you if you want or not. Sovereign command me only because I CHOOSE. He does not force me obey. Does not send servants to command. I am free. You are slave.” @Condensation Quote Eryn is not being prejudiced. She’s being honest. She can’t trust Marie because Marie is being controlled by an outside force. Eryn couldn’t care less about Marie’s spikes. Edited February 4, 2021 by Kingsdaughter613
