Coquika
Coquika straightens as Selena asks her a direct question. As ever, her response flows in Celestial, its syllables ever like music upon the ear.
"Exotic? I would think that, for those so advanced in the Art, the mere appearance is meaningless. We can hurl fire, bewitch, bind," she nods at the Marilith, icily courteous towards the beast, "transport, slay, raise and slay again... why should my body cause such comment?"
In truth, she was somewhat offended by the directness of Selena's question. Although she supposed from what she read, Sabrina's followers were direct about what they wanted.
"Let us say," she said, finally, "That it is not that I am green; rather, what I am is green."
There is a pause in which Coquika gazes wistfully at the silvery statue of Tishtina that dominates the center of the pavilion. Finally, she murmurs "When you know your heart's desire, there is very little you cannot accomplish with hard work, Inspiration... and time."
