Notes: An outlaw's life suits Djaq just fine. Written for rh_intercomm
They grumble about weather, food, isolation.
She doesn't.
They admire her bravery through hardships.
She doesn't admit she isn't brave...but content. In a way they cannot understand.
Every harrowing escape, rain-soaked bedroll, bowl of weak pottage reminds them they're dead men.
It tells her she's alive. She already knows the emptiness of walking through life without hope, identity...or gender.
They live half-lives...on the edge of civilization. Forced deprivation and loneliness.
Yet only here has she learned to live fully. Here she has choices. She chooses to love every minute.
To them it is exile...To her, freedom.
