Denial takes the female before her in its cruel grip and forces her to confess that she does not believe. This is not something Nike hasn’t seen before, and though she didn’t necessarily win over every non-believer, she did win over a few, and those she couldn’t win were often helped, even just a bit. The female before seemed so lost in her grief that she seemed consumed by the belief that there was something wrong with her. In that particular state, simply telling her that the curse could be undone wasn’t necessarily the way to approach her. Obviously, she was so far removed from her faith that she likely held a grudge against it- and that was something Nike could see in the rueful smiled that she tried to pull across her lips. An invisible thread pulled her lips back, but nothing could out a sheen in her soft, jade eyes. Nike could tell at once that the non-believer was perhaps too far removed from any form of faith to be reached simply by telling her about her religion...So instead, she knew she had to help the female in some other way. Even if she could not turn the woman into a Nereid, she could in the very least reach out to help her sister by listening.”Tell me,” She said softly, stepping forward just enough so that she could sit and draw her flaxen, white tail about her paws. She had plenty of patience, and an open mind. She beseeched the woman with an enticing, empathetic earnesty, her gaze slightly doleful which was unusual for the Nereid who was often more Amazon in spirit than Nymph. She had learned to soften her ways, especially when only in the presence of other females. Males, however, never saw anything but the Amazon side of her. ”Why are you cursed...And what does it do to you?” She asked, hopeful that the female might tell her of her story- and that she might be able to interpret what it was that was dogging her, and hopefully scare it off.
