Observations over sunset

[anna_irving]

The fires have died down... I think it might actually be a dark night tonight. *sigh* What is going on... why is all this happening? It's nice that it returned me to life, but if it means that all this destruction and chaos continues unabated... perhaps it would be better if I wasn't

... Hello, Anna.

[anna_irving]

Hello Yuan...

...is something the matter?

[azure_anguish]

... No. Not particulary. You just looked - sad. I thought that you might like some company.

[anna_irving]

I wouldn't mind it... I just can't help but look over everything here that has been destroyed and feel sad...

[azure_anguish]

... *looks at her for a moment*

Things are being destroyed every day. Towns, cities, lives... sometimes things are irreparable in their ruin.

But then there are the rare, shining occasions of rebirth that overshadow any pervasion or darkness; these are the moments where legends are made, where heroes are born, where lives are rebuilt.

I suppose we shall have to look forward to those moments if we are to keep our hope alive, hm? *smiles at her*

[anna_irving]

...I suppose you're right... and I really should be positive. Things are calming down... a little bit, anyway. Perhaps the moments of rebirth will come shortly.

I guess all we can do is hope.

.... *stares at her for a long time*

I can see what he sees in you. You... are a contrast to him in so many ways.

*sad smile* I am sorry for being rude to you earlier.

[anna_irving]

*smiles back* You really don't need to apologise, I'm sure we've all been under a lot of stress lately. Considering all that's been happening, it's hardly surprising.

[azure_anguish]

... *smiles bitterly* You're out of the loop, Anna. Else... you might be slightly less pleased with me.
