"Safe"
[February 2007 prompt :: picture prompt #1]
One of the things I miss about living in an older, more rural version of Paris is the lack of crime. The ability for a woman to walk down the streets of Paris, poking her nose in the occasional little shop that catches her eye without worrying about someone potentially attacking her from the alleyway.
There was a sense of innocence, of empowerment then. I remember daily forays for produce with one of my maids. Such lovely times. We'd talk of inconsequential things. I'd buy things Robert would like for our meals. I'd even buy flowers and other little baubles to entice my Robert.
Now? I wouldn't walk the streets of Paris without my sword.
Of course, I suppose that could also be attributed to the fact that I can't go anywhere without my sword. I really don't feel like losing my head to another Immortal. How would Robert survive without me to take care of him?
