warmare: (真面目)

[She cannot help but notice it- a corner of sand and heat and sun in a mindscape cold and barren and mountain craig, anything precious and warm hidden and guarded beneath snow and stone. Because they had bound themselves to each other in the midst of the dryad’s twisted punishment, a warrior and a god of war, but now-

Now-]


It is possible.

[How many enemies had he made? Somehow, watching him (hating him) scheme and insinuate himself everywhere, regardless of loyalties and factions and what she considered right, she’d always imagined it was less than her. Because unlike her, he was… No, she will not use that insult.

But numbers didn’t matter. You only needed one. If she were a Zenite and saw the chance to take out the Meridian god of war, out in the Beyond, in the dregs of Kowloon, on one of his traitorous traipses into Highstorm-]


I simply do not know which is more possible.

Do you… is there magic to find those who are lost?
warmare: (立ち聞き)

If he were contemplating, I should be able to feel him contemplating.

[She had not attended that... ceremony. But she had felt hints of what it did to him after. Whenever she had brushed up against that desert of sand she had been able to feel things unless Set was intentionally walling her out... but even in those cases, she had felt him walling her out. Now... There is nothing. It's all gone.]

... Last I saw him in person was in Alenroux. Growing things, in the fields.

[... She does not like to ask favors. Or incur debt. Even if they are friends... it feels strange to ask for further favors. But-]

What sort of difficult is it? I would ask you to try if it is not painful or damaging.
warmare: (顧みる)

[personal profile] warmare 2023-07-03 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[... It sound sound. Difficult. But there are only so many options that she has, and this is one of them. So.

So.]


... Then I ask it.

[Hayame has never admitted easily to feelings in general, let alone to caring about other people. She had never even let her own brother call her "sister" where anyone could hear, because bonds were weak, and could be exploited, and in her world... would only prove that as a woman she could not accomplish anything on her own without help.]

Set vexes me.

[But this isn't her world. Things have changed. The three of them have... had...]

But he...

[Is important. She had sworn herself to him as a warrior to a war god, but more than that-]

... challenges me.
warmare: (言葉を飲み込む)

[personal profile] warmare 2023-07-03 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
[He is a god. But though he is... he also acts so human sometimes that she does not even know what to think. How to handle him. How to be... his friend, even though he was the one who used that word in the first place.

Akua said friends challenged you. He did that. A part of thinks that she might break eventually, trying to meet those challenges. That one day he will do something she cannot forgive or tolerate, even if she tells herself he is a god and they are Different, but...

That day has not yet come. And until it does-]


What would you have me do. For you.

[They were... friends, too. But just because they were did not mean she did not feel indebted.]
warmare: (夕張と)

[personal profile] warmare 2023-07-03 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
[... She hates uncertainty. Even if neither possible answer was good- She wanted to know which one it was. One requires mourning, and the other requires vengeance.]

I offered because I wished to.

[Maybe it means she is not a good friend yet. But...]

... It can be something less difficult. If you wish.
warmare: (進み出る)

[personal profile] warmare 2023-07-03 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[This feels like it might be something made up just to appease her desire to pay her debts…

… But.]


… If that is best.

I shall come tonight.
warmare: (赤い)

[She cannot believe she's said this twice recently, it's weird.]

... I have two stomachs.

So I do not mind what it is as long as there is a lot of it.
warmare: (大したことない)

[personal profile] warmare 2023-07-06 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
[... No, surely she is. Imagining the hint of something she hears in those words. (Akua had called her things like... "dear", and such, before, but she called everyone that, there's no reason for her to react now like-)]

- Until tonight, then.
