A Complicated Family History Pt. 1

Mal narrowed his eyes as he stared into the patient and familiar eyes of Bast.

All his life, he had been a person who held grudges.

There were slights he was still holding onto from before the world ended that he would likely never forget.

Perhaps it wasn't the healthiest way to go about life, but that was just who he was.

As such, when Bast suddenly offered him a token of her regret, his immediate reaction was simple.

"You can keep it. I don't want anything from either of you ever again."

Malachi removed Bast from his head and turned around to leave without exchanging another word.

Apophis and Belloc both assumed that there was more to this story that they weren't aware of, but they didn't know if it was their place to say anything.

Besides, they weren't really all that fascinated one way or another.

They too ended up turning to follow in Malachi's footsteps; leaving behind the pair of apologetic deities.
