[Voice] Winterfest Musings

Dec 16, 2010 13:51

[Only a voice post, but to anyone lurking in Alexandria castle, they'll find the army's general stealing a private moment to herself at the top of the West Tower. With the coming holiday season, her thoughts return to a perennial concern of hers.]

Winterfest begins in two days. I wonder, is it possible to truly attain forgiveness?

[Rinoa recognises this voice and it frightens her. The renowned General of Alexandria, the woman who intimidated her so much when she was imprisoned. Why is she talking about attaining forgiveness?]

...General Beatrix?

[Beatrix recognizes that voice all too well and actually is partially who is on her mind. How can she condemn one girl after what she's done?]

Yes?

I - I was wondering. What you said about forgiveness... I don't understand... Why would you need it?

[Beatrix sees no point in concealing what is quite public knowledge.]

I laid waste to two countries and destroyed their people.

Oh.

[Wow. What do you say to that?]

Did you... mean to do it?

Of course I did. Those were my orders and I obeyed.

But you regret it now?

Does it get any easier?

It does not. Regret is my constant companion.

[Well, that sucks.]

I'm sorry.

As am I.

[Pause.]

You are attending the Queen's party, are you not?

[voice, private] livelyangel December 23 2010, 18:35:35 UTC
Yes. She invited me. I wouldn't have gone, but she was really insistent about it.

Is that okay?

Her Majesty may do as she pleases.

I know that. I'm asking you. What do you think?

I think it's dangerous for you both.
