[Azrael] Where Soul Meets Body
I'm not entirely sure what I spent the last few hours doing, but it's been a worthwhile distraction. I don't know what it is about the innocent ones, but they have a song that's hard not to listen to. Combined with the part of me that likes to inform and, occasionally, instruct, I suppose it's not surprising I felt drawn to her. Of course, I'm drawn to a lot of people for a lot of reasons. Often, I suspect it's because I feel that they need me. Comes with the job, to a certain extent. The victims need me, after all, whether they know it or not.
Helen. I'll have to consult the signs on her and then see if she's taken her lessons to heart. She reminds me of Cynthia, in a way.
I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
If the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So, brown eyes, I hold you near
'Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
I think part of why I've always liked Cheshire is that she's never needed me. As good as being needed feels, there's an equally spectacular feeling to be found in freedom. Freedom to do as you please, freedom to be yourself, freedom to come and go.
I have to admit, I didn't expect her to grow so close with him and certainly not so fast. Caught me off guard more than anything. I admit, I don't like him. He seems smug and something about him reeks of bullshit. Still, as much as I'd like to protect her, I know that she doesn't need or want it; Fate guards her as much as it guides me. Besides, she's not mine. Never was, never was supposed to be and we both know it. That's part of being free, after all.
None of that means I won't kill him if he hurts her, of course. That's what friends do.
I wonder...does she know that when her time comes, I'll be the one who guides her?
