She walks silently away from them all as the last light fades from the sky.

(This one has her life and her potential. What do you have now, White Rider?)

She knows the answer, and it is bitter as ash on her tongue.

She has nothing. Not even her oldest name.

Perched in a tree ahead of her, apparently quite by coincidence, is Peach.

She's absorbed in chewing on a branch, and makes no move to attract Blodwen's attention. Still, scarlet macaws aren't really designed for camouflage.

No, and so they are not.

Something twists in her face as she sees the bird, and she turns her steps as though to pass by to the side.

winged_defender June 20 2006, 04:48:09 UTC

"Going somewhere?"

Still busy with the branch, not looking up.

white_flowers June 20 2006, 04:51:50 UTC

"Observant, you are," she says-- but she does stop moving.

winged_defender June 20 2006, 05:11:04 UTC

"Some things change, like you said."

And they do change, don't they?

white_flowers June 20 2006, 05:16:36 UTC

She flinches.

"So they do."

winged_defender June 20 2006, 05:21:10 UTC

Peach doesn't appear to notice.

"So where you going?"

white_flowers June 20 2006, 05:22:02 UTC

Silence, for several seconds.

"I don't know."

winged_defender June 20 2006, 05:29:12 UTC

"'S usually good to have an idea."

Still gnawing. A piece of bark falls to the ground.

white_flowers June 20 2006, 05:38:54 UTC

"So helpful you are."

Flatly.

winged_defender June 20 2006, 05:41:08 UTC

"We can't do much," she says, "if people don't accept help when it's offered."

white_flowers June 20 2006, 05:46:21 UTC

"Oh, and were you offering, dear?"

Bitterly said, as she looks up at the bird.

winged_defender June 20 2006, 05:49:40 UTC

"Well," and she snaps off a small twig, "I did tell you I'd help you get out of here, a long time ago, if you wanted to try not doing anything dumb."

white_flowers June 20 2006, 05:57:31 UTC

"Why, and here I thought that was no longer an option, not after what happened next," she snaps back.

winged_defender June 20 2006, 06:02:55 UTC

"For a while it wasn't," she says thoughtfully. "Now it's different, maybe. I said I wouldn't give you a Get-Out-of-Jail-Free card. It wouldn't be that now."

She shakes her head and looks up at Blodwen. "But all that depends what you want."

white_flowers June 20 2006, 06:22:40 UTC

Her laughter is sudden and shocking and ragged.

"What I want? How can you say that matters now, after what has happened? I don't even know who I am!"
