she is fire. she is pain. she is a crack in the world through which something else—magic or god or the heat of every unanswered wish and impossible dream, burning eternal on the other side of everything—pours through.

@yellowsedai … is that going to make you happy?

[A | La’aldrelle (ia) @sanchedamodred]

How much sorrow can I take?
Blackbird on my shoulder
And what difference does it make
When this love is over?

so i am here , standing in the blood drained from me . i am here . always , endlessly , i am here .

The seat had become a burden borne in solitude, even now. It has rooted her to this place, rooted her feelings into depths of desperation and loneliness. All complimenting Moiraine’s selfishness, her fears. The desperation to keep something so safe that, along the way, it —

[𝓓𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝓸𝐟 𝓽𝐡𝐞 𝓡𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 @CLEVERASAPlKE]

— always know this is where she belonged but it did not matter how many time she expressed the sovereignty Moiraine possessed in her heart, she could never accept such a crown. “There are cobwebs growing between my ribs, dust settling over old devotions that you no longer—

— you that will never change but because I do so, I fear it is time for me to express my grievances with the situation….” For the first time, truly.

[𝓓𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝓸𝐟 𝓽𝐡𝐞 𝓡𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 @CLEVERASAPlKE]

“Alone because you want to.” usually she would be understanding, she would think about Moiraine and her personality as a whole and comprehend where she is coming from. And she does, but the realization hit her some time ago, if she keeps treating Moiraine with the usual —

[Mo @BOUNDBYOATHS]

"You're right." She doesn't shy away from the acusation. Siuan was right, she always was. Often times she herself stirred up said inconvenience. "I'm terrified, Siuan. And I've been doing it alone for so long. The joy felt---finite."

[𝓓𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝓸𝐟 𝓽𝐡𝐞 𝓡𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 @CLEVERASAPlKE]

— temperament, nothing will ever change and she is exhausted of pretending that things are perfect fine.

they are not.

“you always had my backing, Moiraine but you refuse me every step of the way when things gets too real or the mission gets compromised. I love —

[𝓓𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝓸𝐟 𝓽𝐡𝐞 𝓡𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 @CLEVERASAPlKE]

“Was it different?” the question is reflexive, her eyes locking with Moiraine. “It feels like you are perpetually waiting for the slightest inconvenience to swiftly runaway.”

[Mo @BOUNDBYOATHS]

A sigh escapes her lips, she stops and grabs onto the others hand. Forgetting her place fir a more moment. "No--you know this was different. I left with both you and Leane angry and it wasn't fair."

[𝓓𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝓸𝐟 𝓽𝐡𝐞 𝓡𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 @CLEVERASAPlKE]

Is that what you think it is? -she mirrors the shrug.- it wasn’t a no but now I think it’s best if we leave it for another time.

[𝑀𝑜𝑖𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝐷𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑑𝑟𝑒𝑑 @LadyPufferfish]

You've turned off on me.

(Shrugs)

Is that a no?

[𝓓𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝓸𝐟 𝓽𝐡𝐞 𝓡𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 @CLEVERASAPlKE]

the slight feeling shot bolts of electricity up her skin but she keeps her composure. “please don’t apologize for something you might do once more if the need arises. don’t begin this type of patterned behavior.”

[Mo @BOUNDBYOATHS]

(She steps as close as possible, her hand brushing against Siuans, just enough to feel her again.) I...am sorry for how I left. How I have returned.

[𝓓𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝓸𝐟 𝓽𝐡𝐞 𝓡𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 @CLEVERASAPlKE]

Perhaps. Or, it was an invitation.

you would take a metaphor more face value.

with a slight nod she falls in line with Moiraine, following her towards their spot wordlessly.

[Mo @BOUNDBYOATHS]

Then follow me, let's walk towards our spot near the fountain.

[𝓓𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝓸𝐟 𝓽𝐡𝐞 𝓡𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 @CLEVERASAPlKE]

I wish to talk as well. I have the time.

[Mo @BOUNDBYOATHS]

I want to talk. If you have time, of course.
