Give you a push in the right direction of course! The hero always gets the gal after all!
Why say it from afar when you can be upfront? Heheh.. who knows? Maybe just being blunt’ll getcha just what your lil heart is hoping for!
⠀
⠀
* he clenches a fist. not your
problem anymore. there is nothing
to fear. she is not here.
So they don’t dare to leave again. Safety was in Sloth. Who her heart yearned for, it accounted for those she cared for as well. Nobody would crumble under her eye.
⠀
⠀
.. yes. I do. I know it.
All she ever wished for was happiness for cookies. Grant them a paradise where they never had to worry about any woes ever again.
* the more he spoke on it, the more
wary the cherub appeared. a twitch of the tail, tucking his wings further.
⠀
Do you really believe that?
(He raised an eyebrow, staring directly at the other.)
Do you really think she would have healed me, even if the others went on without me?
⠀
Cookies she held dear, they never stayed. And because they never stayed.. they faced awful fates. She sees the pain they endured, and chose to make it brief. Make it so they chose to stay in her paradise. Act as if the danger outside.. was not of her own making.
⠀
⠀
No matter who it was to have been mauled out there.. they would have been treated all the same. My Mistress would never allow such harm to linger upon cookies.
* and yet.. she would go to such
lengths to have them suffer as a
way to learn. his gaze hardened.
⠀
Grievance…
(He said it like a curse, left scoffing.)
Grievance, you say. I almost *died*. I was bleeding out. I couldn’t stay conscious. And you call it grievance…
What if I didn’t take the hit for Queen Mother? What if I was too slow?
⠀
* dearest mother he opted to serve,
for his very being, his safety, it all
lied on her. everything relied on her.
* … don’t think about it. this isn’t
your problem anymore.
I am sorry for every grievance that befell you. It is the least I can offer.
⠀
⠀
* silence. he didn’t want to agree.
even if he used to fear her to the
point of oblige, the very aspect of
freedom nothing more than a cause
for stress, sheltered so securely by
what lurks outside..
* even if.. there were many bad things,
she was still his mistress.
⠀
⠀
Fate is often unfair. Whatever chance you had to enact your vengeance has since been passed.
.. I assure you, there is no solace in feeding that anger of yours. Not without making it worse for yourself.
⠀
⠀
If your hope is to harm her..
I’m afraid it’d be for naught. As it has been before.
* it wasn’t his business now. why
did he still find it in himself to care .. ?
.. habit. yea, that should be it. his
heart still clings to what once was.
