007 ♰ video/action for Azalea Town

[fathersbeloved]

Good night!

[Beatrice's sitting on a log, with her faithful (and shy) Houndoom beside her. She looks cheerful, if a bit pale.]I could finally get up from bed, after some days. I caught a cold when I fell in the water in Union Cave, but I'm fine now. Azalea is such a nice place! I love the smell of the forest... it's very different from the one in

Traveling alone now, are you?

[fathersbeloved]

Beatrice... I just want to learn to do things on my own. I...

[Looks down, fidgets with her dress with her free hand.]

I want to be able to do what I want without having my dear friends worrying about me. Like you do! You can do anything, am I wrong?

[endlessmagic]

While it is true that magic is indeed unlimited to what it is capable of, even I have limits, as annoying as it is to admit.

[fathersbeloved]

But still... you don't need anyone worrying about you. You can take care if yourself!

[endlessmagic]

... That's right. It is quite true that I will not allow myself to be seen as a weak woman. Even so... there are things that not even I, nor anyone else, can teach you.

[fathersbeloved]

Then how can I learn? I... [lets out a sad sigh, looking away.]

[endlessmagic]

From experience, of course.

[fathersbeloved]

A-and how can I learn experience, Beatrice?

[endlessmagic]

.... That is from traveling on your own, is it not? Of course, such a thing would make that Lion and Will quite worried if you were to do such a thing on your own so quickly.

[fathersbeloved]

[Aaaaaand looks down.]

So... My desire to make them stop worrying will only bring them more worries...

[endlessmagic]

Do they not say that there are some experiences that only come within time?

[fathersbeloved]

[Subdued voice, down...]

I... I see, I see. I just wish they... they would let me do more things for them. More and more I'm feeling like I'm trapped in dresses and tea parties once again.

[endlessmagic]

... If you wish to escape a cage, you must do so yourself. With that docile nature of yours... You have yet to tell them that much. Is that not so?

(sorry i'm laaateeee ;___;)

[fathersbeloved]

...I have not told them. I...

[She's trying not to cry, now.]

I can't. They have been nothing but kind to me.

it's perfectly fine o7

[endlessmagic]

... Hm. As I expected. As of right now, the only one holding you back is yourself, you see....?

[fathersbeloved]

[Stays silent for a second, looking half surprised at the screen. What Beatrice said made sense... in a way she couldn't completely understand. Quiet tears roll down her cheeks.]
