Ada ❀ 004 -- "Distract and overcome."
Who: Ada Vessalius and Elliot Nightray
Where: Pandora House
Style: Third
Status: Closed
Notes: The first sword-fighting lesson. Backdated to during Noel's absence.
Noel had vanished, much like Elliot and Leo once had. Ada reminded herself that they were similar, because she wanted to believe that like then, Noel too would return to them soon. But even with that in mind, there was a lingering sense of fear and worry. But she kept reminding herself that there were probably others in much more pain over that fact then she was. Her mind kept drifting back to Elliot. Noel had once told her that she knew it was okay if nothing ever came of her crush for Elliot, because one day they would leave this place and it would be as though nothing happened. But Ada hadn’t thought that way then, and she didn’t think that way now. In her heart she knew Elliot had to be sad over her disappearance. But how could she do anything to help? She wasn’t someone he would ever come to for help or comfort, and even if she offered it… Would he really accept it from her?
So a day passed, filled with concern, and yet with no idea what she could do. But the thoughts never stopped. That’s why it eventually came to her. Maybe she could not fix nor comfort, but maybe she could help keep their minds off of the sadness and worry with talk of something else.
Working hard was one way to keep one’s self from thinking too much, and she had yet to begin. That’s why she thought that maybe now would be the perfect opportunity to ask Elliot if he would start her training. Maybe it was a simplistic solution and maybe it was just a naive hope, but trying was all she had right now, and she wanted to try and forget her worries as well. It was long time she began learning to fight if she really wanted to become stronger. And maybe she wouldn’t remember it when she went home, but maybe she could carry that strength with her. Those thoughts were the things that kept her going even now, despite more pessimistic views.
Biting her lip, she knocked on Elliot’s door and stepped back a bit.
