Never One For Kindness (Esau/Ilana, PG-13)
Title: Never One For Kindness
Author: cloudytea
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers/Warnings: None, really.
Summary: There is always an excuse. For lost_in_108 's prompt, History.
She takes aim, but she will never fire. Just as she has always done.
There is always an excuse: The trigger is jammed, she has run out of bullets. The dagger is too dull.
You will come back here one day and wish you had never chosen this life.
Those words scald into her memory, never allowing her to forget. Never letting go.
She admits that regret is relative. But, she never gives in, her loyalty always remaining with someone else. Someone greater.
Rough hands drag through the tangled mess of her hair, pulling and reminding her of their wounded history.
You were never one for kindness, Esau.
