[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?

Forgiveness may be obtained from others, but it is forgiveness of oneself that is the trickiest.

[voice] knightedmayrose December 16 2010, 23:24:36 UTC

I agree. Which then is true forgiveness?

[voice] /always late bearitproudly December 27 2010, 06:19:17 UTC

From oneself. Even then, the guilt still remains.

[voice] nogoodpeople December 16 2010, 20:11:28 UTC

From yourself, or from others?

[voice] knightedmayrose December 16 2010, 23:26:29 UTC

[Beatrix pauses, giving the question genuine consideration.]

Both.

[voice] nogoodpeople December 17 2010, 05:47:13 UTC

It's easier to achieve forgiveness from others.

[voice] knightedmayrose December 17 2010, 19:03:10 UTC

So I have discovered. But is that enough?

[Forgiveness? Ah, Beatrix always seems a little unhappy at this time of year...

Steiner seeks her out at the top of the tower.]

Beatrix?

[action] knightedmayrose December 16 2010, 23:29:33 UTC

[The sound of Steiner's voice pulls Beatrix from her reverie and draws a small smile to her lips.]

Steiner... join me?

[action] captain_rusty December 17 2010, 19:44:17 UTC

Of course.

[He does so, coming over to lay a gloved hand on her arm.]

Is something troubling you, Beatrix?

[action] knightedmayrose December 17 2010, 20:27:16 UTC

I suppose so.

Have you heard from Lady Freya lately?

[It's not a change of subject, just a continuation of her thoughts. She knows Steiner's unlikely to understand that implication, but still she should ask.]

[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?

[voice, private] knightedmayrose December 16 2010, 23:31:12 UTC

[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?

[voice, private] livelyangel December 17 2010, 19:17:23 UTC

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

[voice, private] knightedmayrose December 17 2010, 19:40:47 UTC

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

I laid waste to two countries and destroyed their people.

I wish I knew.

[Voice] knightedmayrose December 16 2010, 23:34:11 UTC

Have you come to any wisdom yet?

[Voice] dragoon_rising December 16 2010, 23:44:32 UTC

No, and I doubt I ever will.

[Voice] knightedmayrose December 17 2010, 00:23:51 UTC

Neither do I, yet I must find some soon. Necessity demands it.
