[Sothis barely held back the grimace when a mortal came scurrying up to her, venting her frustration in a short, explosive exhale like a bad-tempered bull. Still, she obligingly turned towards the little one, keeping her expression as flat as her vessel normally had it.
Play nice, she reminded herself irritably. You're weak and powerless here (comparatively to her original self). You can't be picking fights and then dying in a humiliating fashion.]
Surely that's a jest. What isn't upsetting in this situation?
[Not only was there no privacy - in both the physical sense and the mental, though Sothis did her best in crafting a walled garden within her mind so the more damning thoughts didn't slip free - but she was forced to watch everyone writhe around dramatically about their unimportant motivations while not knowing who anyone was. She recognised two: the king of Faerghus (descendant of a Crest-thief and corpse defiler), and the leader of the Leicester Alliance (another descendant of a Crest-thief and corpse defiler). Everyone else were complete strangers to her, though Byleth had a sense of familiarity for some of them.
This one had the faintest flicker. Acquainted, then?]
