54. [Video]

[The first thing you see is the sky, darkening and hazy with mist. There are fireflies, too, circling above the camera. And, just on the edge of the lens, blurred due to its proximity, is a lock of silver-blond hair. She's lying beside the Forge, it seems, staring up at the sky.]It's funny, but all day I've felt... different. A little better ( Read more... )

Well, I did say goodbye, Priscilla.

[ Video | Private ] swordofthenorth September 18 2010, 23:01:59 UTC

I'm not talking about them, Priscilla.

[ Video | Private ] yetsleeping September 18 2010, 23:06:34 UTC

...oh.

[Awkward. She taps her finger lightly with her free hand, and sends the firefly away.]

Honestly, I don't really know what to do about you.

[ Video | Private ] swordofthenorth September 18 2010, 23:15:24 UTC

No one expects you to, but you should be allowed to do as you want.

That is the most prominent difference between you now, and where I come from.

[ A faint smile. It's vacant. ]

That is, aside from your hair and your eye color.

[ Video | Private ] yetsleeping September 18 2010, 23:20:40 UTC

I don't really think that's the most notable difference.

[Diet comes to mind.]

[But... she nibbles on her bottom lip, and kind of hugs her knees.]

I guess she must have had more freedom than me. I mean... given... Hrm.

What was she like?

[ Video | Private ] swordofthenorth September 18 2010, 23:26:22 UTC

Very curious.

[ In more ways than one. ]

Strong, as you well know.

[ That spoken with pride. And then... ]

I loved her.

[ Video | Private ] yetsleeping September 18 2010, 23:38:56 UTC

[...and that she has no idea what to do with. So she just blinks. Several times.]

[She wants to ask if it's actually true... but of course if he's lying, he's not going to tell her that. So she bites on her bottom lip again.]

...oh.

I've... heard different things about that. I mean. You and her.

[ Video | Private ] swordofthenorth September 18 2010, 23:40:15 UTC

Like you heard that I defeated her.

Which wasn't true.

[ Video | Private ] yetsleeping September 18 2010, 23:43:45 UTC

It's a little strange to think about. I hope you won't be offended if I admit that I never really thought of... um. Well, I didn't think you could. Care about things.

...that sounds terrible. But it's true.

[And here she will leave out that she's still not convinced she wasn't right.]

[ Video | Private ] swordofthenorth September 18 2010, 23:46:30 UTC

There you go again, disappointing me with your narrow perspective.

[ Video | Private ] yetsleeping September 18 2010, 23:50:36 UTC

That's a little unfair! I only left training a year ago. And until recently, I guess I never really thought much about everything they told me.

It made sense at the time.

[ Video | Private ] swordofthenorth September 18 2010, 23:55:23 UTC

Your naivety is still charming.

[ Video | Private ] yetsleeping September 19 2010, 00:00:51 UTC

...everyone starts somewhere.

I am learning, though. Even if it is a little harder than I'd like.

[And then, because she can't help herself...]

Is that really true? That you... I guess I can't really expect you to tell me even if it isn't.

[ Video | Private ] swordofthenorth September 19 2010, 00:09:02 UTC

And you'd never permit me prove it to you, would you, Priscilla?

[ Video | Private ] yetsleeping September 19 2010, 00:12:33 UTC

I don't really know how someone could prove something like that.

[ Video | Private ] swordofthenorth September 19 2010, 00:16:33 UTC

I don't expect it could be accomplished overnight, obviously.

And in order to really comprehend, you would need to be with me. Remain with me.

[ A breathy sigh, his eyes closing. ]

Wishful thinking, wouldn't you agree?
