Menkhu? [She cants her head, curious.] I do agree. It's what makes life worth living, making friends and finding family. Or just spending time with the family you have? Things are different for everyone, depends on the situation.
[There's a slight fluster at his kind words. She glances away, tucking a hair behind her ear.]
I don't know if I'd say that. I was very...unsettled. I really made a mess of things back then.
But I know much better now. About many things. And we've all been through quite a lot, so I think we can be at least a little prepared for what might be coming.
"One who knows the Lines" ... someone who sees the interconnectedness of life. Bodies. People. Things. It is a title given to the equivalent of a surgeon to the Kin where I am from...
[ he certainly doesn't get to see those lines now, which is frustrating as all hell, but he's dealing with it. he's been without before, he can be without again. he waves his hand a little bit. ]
And we all made our own messes, you cannot be at fault for everything, and shouldn't hold yourself to that... but you cannot deny your own tenacity. And kindness.
[ a light nudge, shoulder to shoulder. there's remorse there. ]
But you're right - we can take what we've learned and apply it. As much as I hate that we're going through this once again, we at least know the name of the game. Maybe none of its rules just yet, but we know there will be, and that's half of what we need to walk into this.
That sounds a bit like being a witch. Like my friend Timothy! Though it's not quite the same thing, just that magic can give you a very different perspective on things. Understanding, too.
[Aaaaah no this is too nice. She ducks her head away, smiling.]
...Thank you, Artemy. You're really too much. You know, it only makes me regret not trying harder to speak to you before, but again! I'll stop apologizing.
We can make it. Get our prizes back and everything. I know it.
