Mount Apikuni she had nowhere else to go

Lecter was always reminding Jinx that she had much to learn. She was a far cry from the high priest her father had been, and both she and the shaman were well aware of it. Nevertheless, Jinx did with what she could, and oft was left wondering at the rest. She hadn't known Sos wasn't a friend to children; she knew He was not a friend to life, but had always assumed He would have some hand in the raising of children to follow His will rather than Atka's. At times, the young mambo forgot that Atka and Sos were, at least in some ways, one and the same rather than bitter rivals.

To that information, she could only nod. Jinx also couldn't remember the last time Sos had demanded blood. She hadn't been born or even conceived yet when the Bay had last sacrificed a wolf. But she was drawn out of her thoughts, and pulled away from supplying more information, when Lecter pointed out her pregnancy. Irked though she was that it seemed to be obvious to everyone but her, her gaze softened when he asked if she meant to tell him.

Jinx hadn't wanted to say anything, and so she answered honest: "No, I hadn't," she admitted, her gaze seeking the ground as shame washed over her. It wouldn't do for her to leave Lecter thinking she was rejecting him or his children, so she was forced into revealing what she had meant to keep hidden. With a soft sigh, she sought his gaze and said, "I... believe Sos means for the blood He craves to be theirs."
