[The answer seems obvious, and Sina has no problem reaching that conclusion.]
My clan was massacred because the shem'len nearby thought we would hurt them. My clansister Sedi came to us from one that had been destroyed almost entirely, by a willfully poisoned river. They are so willing to chase us out, kill us, build over lands we claim and then blame us for reacting with anger and caution--
[She's getting carried away, and she stops herself with a sigh.]
I will sit on the steps and explain it myself, Araceli. I'm not afraid to be killed. But I won't relent to humans who are upset by remembering we exist, and if there's one thing I can do while I'm still bound to this place, it's help them understand that the site is just as holy as it ever was.
