XZeke: You are completely insane.
Filipa: Get up, girl. Some rules beg for a rebellious child to break them. This was not one. We did not free ourselves from Leagua slavery so you could turn yourself into a cangrejo's whore. We do not fight for this scrap of land they grudge us only to be the dumping ground for their cuckoo children. Do you understand that now?
Ria: ... si.
Filipa: Your Imperial friends have spared you a literal death, what whatever that is worth to you. But you are dead to us. You will never speak to one of those who were your people again. None will write you, none send you messages, no door will open to you. Not if you stood in the middle of Calle del Sol and screamed would we hear you, no more than we would the dead. Do you understand?
Ria: si.
Filipa: We are not a wealthy people. There is nothing here to spare for traitors. No matter how cruel we seem, I promise you -- the world we protected you from is crueler. When your cangrejo friends tire of you, you may wish the Mask's justice had found you after all.

The fellow thief who stuck Amra Thetys with a horrifyingly ugly statue was a friend. Now she wants answers. Chief among them: what about that statue has put an immortal assassin and a mad sorcerer on her tail?
