Appointments

[returninghope]

This post is for random threads and such that we may have missed, need to thread out or... Just because we feel like it and don't want to go spamming other places. All methods of communication are cool with me, as well as multi-character threads. Just be sure to put the date and however we're interacting in the subject line.

From what I've observed, it usually does. [He was right about there being more bothering her than the fact that Lymsleia was here, though to be honest that issue could branch off into a whole new storm of thoughts and emotions she didn't know how to deal with.

It was an assumption, though not one without reason in her mind.]

I have stories that will tell you the exact opposite, but if that's what you believe, I guess it's not my place to argue. [Zan'nen pushes the food around on his plate for a moment, contemplating where to take this.]

From what you've observed with Frey, does that match up with him? ["You think you were a replacement?" was thankfully snipped out of his inquiry. With all of Frey's busybody heroic tendencies, he found it hard to believe that he would just ditch her when the real thing shows up, but it wasn't impossible, despite the faith he had in him. Humans were capable of very thoughtless things, himself included.] Has he done or said anything that would tell you that? Because I swear I can go punch him in the face if he has.

[He's not discounting your feelings Kaori, the exact opposite. What the truth was didn't matter in the least. What she was feeling was her reality, no matter what the actual situation was. He just was trying to get a feel for what she was experiencing.]

... We've barely spoken since she came, or... since the new year, actually. [It wasn't the first time she had noticed this, but the overwhelming sadness she felt was not dulled in the slightest when she remembered. December overall had been uncomfortable, but it paled in comparison to the month afterward. She doesn't want to think that Frey would be that kind of person, but she had been betrayed many times before... And a part of her, a small one that refused to go away no matter what she told herself, still believed that someday he would do the same.]

Please don't hurt him, he... he just has more important things to take care of. [What those things were she couldn't say exactly, but she knows they're more important. So why did she want to cry, her voice begin to crack after she paused? It made no sense.]

Kaori. Listen to me. You are important. I know you think you'd be getting in between the two of them, but that's just--[Nope. Not going to criticize, no point in making her feel worse about this than she does already.]

There is room for both of you.

[A part of her just wants to say that he's being naively stupid, given that as far as she knew Lymsleia was Freyjadour's queen and he was her sworn protector. How in the world would an anomaly such as herself stack against the pure girl that was needed by a country and would always be beloved by them, for whom he fought a war?

It just didn't happen. 'Important' was a word that rarely applied beyond being a rarity which needed to be watched closely, lest she tear apart everything around her. But is it still wrong for there to be a part of her that wants to believe him, or rather, does?]

... but how does that work? [Why was she important?]

How does what work? Sharing or something else? [Sorry Kaori, now you've lost him. This is Zan'nen you're speaking too. You have to be specific if you ever want to get anywhere in a conversation.

Again, he places his hand on the crest of her head and gently ruffles her hair. Meeting someone new shouldn't destroy your entire life.]

I don't understand how there can be room for both. [Though that was far from the only thing she was questioning, especially given her upbringing. Everything was a hierarchy that was strictly followed, and no one questioned it. She never really did, at least regarding the hierarchy among her own kind.

Though that hair ruffle does calm her down, just a little. It was such a casual and comforting gesture, without being overly so, that it was able to have that effect. Not to mention that there was something undeniably nostalgic about it.]
