7 & 7 (Tag Game)

I was tagged for this one by @ls-daydreams a little while ago!

Rules: Post 7 lines (or paragraphs, or whatever!) of your WIP, then tag 7 people!

This is a somewhat fun one from TS.

“She’s not like that,” Vahn said, because he thought that Osawa should know. “Not really. That isn’t who she is.”

It shouldn’t matter what this new water loa thought of Kanna, but for some reason, in that moment, Vahn couldn’t stand another person thinking she was a monster. Maybe it was because he could feel the Saint Trials looming. Maybe it was because he wanted them, he wanted that power, but he knew they would eat him alive and Kanna would be left alone. 

Osawa raised his brow. “You misunderstood me,” he said. “She could have killed him, easily. But she didn’t. Most would have.”

Vahn’s smirk tasted stale. “You learn fast, Prospect.”

“Decuni,” Osawa corrected, though there was no ego in it.

Vahn followed the cut of his jacket. The guy must be good. Very good, to rise so quickly when he was willing to stand in front of Vahn and tell him that he didn’t think Kanna was death incarnate, that maybe she was a person and not just a weapon. Those who gave more than a spare thought to Kanna existing as anything else weren’t useful to Velinius.

“Very fast.”
