He recalls his childhood, if you could call it that. Davke children grew up very soon and did not usually grow to be old, dying in the heat of battle or from the perils of the savage desert. He remembers the festivals for Solis held for days under the blistering sun and simmering sand. Fighting tournaments and drinking and parading about to win the attentions of a particular maiden. He misses the simplicity of Davke life. Eat, drink, reproduce, survive.

There was nothing complicicated about Davke life. War was simple. Worship was simple. Courting was simple. It was a life of truth and the only way Jahin could ever really live. Day Court life, however, was complex and intricate. Secrets and lies and scandal and revolutions and betrayal. Such things didn't exist in the desert, amid the sand and sun and wind. Such ideas of grandeur were beyond him.

And yet here he was, living at court, pretending to be something he clearly was not.

But what was left for him out there in the desert? The Davke were bleached bones in the sand turning to dust or ghosts wandering lost amid the crowds of the city of Soleterra. Solis was a relic of his past; of a simpler time when he had little to worry about other than gaining renown among his people and winning the heart of a woman he loved. Jahin had worshiped Solis all of his life (mostly because it was Davke did; not that he felt any real sense of loyalty) but he did not know what he should feel as he stood before the divine being for the first time. 

Someone tells the god to fuck off. Jahin pins his ears in irritation, but says nothing. If the fool wants to die, Jahin has no objections to one less idiot in Day Court. He doesn't recognize anyone else besides Seraphina's Emissary, who stands by cautiously and silent.

Solis seems to enjoy taunting them. Jahin waits. What else is there to do?
