☆ Introspection from Doris ☆

[light_lost]

I've been thinking about something brought up in a conversation with Doris. It hadn't been brought up during the course of the conversation itself; but brought up within my mind

[private to Waverly]

Mmm . . . Waverly-san . . .

You said some very true and striking things. It is true that none of us belong here, and all of the residents of this City form a melting pot of people and beings . . .

Though I cannot help but be glad, because I have met wonderful people such as yourself and others here . . . Though suddenly I realize that our existences here may be but fleeting . . .

I cannot bear to lose my loved ones anymore . . .

From what Harry says, and I believe him, we are all taken from different parts of different worlds and different times. The book I found leads me to believe that It is simply the deities that decide what passes and what does not. Yet, I wonder if they themselves are not pawns as well.

As am I. I have never been as close as I am to those here. Our existence may be fleeting, but even that fleeting existence is existence still. We cannot hold ourselves in limbo simply because we are not where we feel we belong.

If I've learned anything from my time in Ingenting, it is that we are always where we are meant to be in the moment we are in. Call it fate or what you wish, but we are as we always will be; and we are where we must be to learn.

Mmm . . . those are good and valid insights, Waverly-san. I do understand the meaning of transience based on experience. I have never lingered in one home for too long--I have been driven to many places, and many situations, and I have learned in the process that being idle will not help matters.

I . . . I suppose that a certain someone taught me that we have to keep moving, keep pursuing a dream, a life's mission . . .

I think to stay in one place could become tedious after awhile. Though; I must admit that I'm more then willing to try my luck with such a thing. Should that place be interesting and allow me to be free to follow that which I love most.

I think most people fear abandonment or to be the abandoner. Beings have a hard time understanding that others can choose for themselves.

Harry chose to be my champion when a man who is trying to hurt Mitsuhide threatened to kill me. I don't like it, but I have to accept it. It's how he is and something I wouldn't even try to change.

As for me; I have to keep going. I have to, want to keep my promises. I promised to keep Mitsuhide safe. If that means I have to face someone obsessed with killing me, then I'll do everything I can to achieve my goal.

We're all weighed down by the chains of some form of fate; but that doesn't mean we can't blaze our own path and make our own companions before we arrive there. Right?

[charmedillusion]

Okay. Lunch. That's probably better; it leaves plenty of time to get ready for the ball. I have no idea what I'm getting into.

[light_lost]

That's what I thought. I can help you find a dress if you like.

[charmedillusion]

Thanks - I have one, now. I hope you like it - do you have yours?

[light_lost]

Mmmhmm. I just hope that it works well.

Do you have accessories?

[no_b_vord_plz]

If you vish my advice, Vaverly...I vould zay, do not allow zer brevity of your time spent here to take avay from zer overall importance of zer relationships you may make.

Avter all, part of beink human is dealink vith zer fact zhat nozhink is vorever.

...Of course, I vould not know vhat it means to be human, but I could make zer occasional guess, yes?

[light_lost]

You make a wonderful guess. Though, I would have to argue that not only humans, but all beings experience loss in one form or another. To be close to another is to know that one day you will eventually part. If you believe in life after; and not the kind in The City; then no parting is truly forever.

I think you are right however. You are wonderfully brilliant Otto. I'm very glad to have met you. Not that either of us are leaving any time soon; at least, I hope not.

[no_b_vord_plz]

I zhink I vill believe in zer first part. It is var more upliftink, yes? Und ve all must have hope, because none of us are truly alone. Zhis I believe most fondly.

Zhank you! I am glad to have met you as vell. Und no, I should hope I vould not go avay zo soon.

[light_lost]

I do too. You can't really be alone when you have others who care for you; and even the cruelest of people have someone who cares for them. Look at the red caps.

[silk_in_ebony]

Your opinions match with my own, Miss Waverly... which is why I continue to treasure my relationships here and enjoy them like this world is not transient. The human heart cannot help but love, is it not true?

[light_lost]

I think it's true of any heart. Not just human. even the coldest and harshest of beings can love deeply -♥

[ Private To Waverly ]

[silk_in_ebony]

I like the way you put that, Miss Waverly. Yes; I shall believe it. And I hope I am here for a long time... I think I have fallen in love, and that makes me grateful for the City, though it curses us often.

Re: [ Private To Mitsuhide]

[light_lost]

Oh? I wonder if they're someone I know.

Be sure to treasure them. Nothing is more powerful or more precious love -♥

[valentineluke]

Hmm.

[light_lost]

Yes?

[valentineluke]

Seems to work best with those who can easily friend.

[light_lost]

You can't easily make friends? Maybe I can help.
