ATBASH CIPHER

i know i should stop believing
i know there's no retrieving

If Atbash felt any better than she currently did, she may have scolded Dagon for talking to Sicarion in such a way. But honestly? Dagon had a point, even if Atbash didn't entirely know what the alter was referring to. She thought he was referring to Sicarion lashing out at Stryker after she passed out, which was not the case. Sicarion - no, everybody - needed to be smart about this takeover. If they wanted to defeat and chase away The Pitt, they had to work together and carefully. They couldn't just let themselves be injured by breaking out into random fights. Atbash understood the whole point of honor, especially when it came to your clan, but now wasn't the time to prove that.

"I'm..." Atbash wanted to lie about how she was feeling, she really did. But Sicarion and Dagon didn't deserve that. She was their leader, she was expected to be honest, was she not? But then again, She reminded herself. Admitting how much pain you're in shows weakness... That was the whole reason Stryker and The Pitt took over, was over how weak she presented herself. And how weak she really was; Atbash didn't know how to fight, that was her brothers Vigenere was trained to fight, Caesar was just a warmonger in general. "I survived, I guess." She gave a shrug, closing her good eye and laying her head on her paws.
