Though Zaria did not answer the question she knew what her answer would be, deep down. Yes, she would have most likely used a human child's heart if the ritual had asked for it. Part of this realisation about herself disgusted her... but it also pleased her. There was little that stood in the way of one with no morals. At least she would not hold herself back. However delving into blood magic and many of the more unsavoury things that came with it would only make it more difficult to keep up the guise she wore in everyday life. She was sure she was up to the challenge.

It was easy enough to notice Tasri's displeasure and Zaria almost felt that she should feel guilty. Of course she couldn't quite bring herself to feel something such as that. There was nothing to be guilty for. She was doing what was best for herself whether Tasri approved or not. She did not see how helping others would be using her full potential. Quite the opposite in her mind, in fact.

She stepped forward to take the gem, inspecting it before pocketing it. "Thank you, but I doubt that time will come." She gave a slight smile, eyes narrowed. She disliked that Tasri was suggesting she was following 'that woman' as if she was not doing anything of her own free will. Oh, Zaria was not following anyone. Her actions were her own and her path her own. 

Shrugging slightly she spun around and walked into the forest, heading back towards Toran.
