@save44   ࣪◜   "  i want nothing from you, only that you believe i am who I say I am. your distrust is misplaced.  " 

@newIights,    “ isn’t it all just to prove who you are? what is it,  tell me what is it that you want from me. ”

@save44    ࣪◜    "  is that so?  do tell, what was my point then?   " 

@save44    ࣪◜     " zephiroth, "  he  hums, muse in his voice.  the grimace only twists his gut further,  whether it was pain or joy he could no longer tell.  it was all the same to him.   "  I am exactly as i always was. I grew tired of lying to myself. " 

@newIights,    “ you were never weak,  or lost  —you.. ”    a grimace shows onto the ravenette’s expression.  the sadness swells into his stomach until it reaches his heart.    “ i fear that i don’t even recognize you. ”   and that hurts him more, to hear a man that he cannot even fathom to why he’d go to such far lengths.

@save44    ࣪◜     his smile only widens, and jewellery jingles as a head tilts to the side.  warm eyes curl with the scrunch of cheeks.  "  I was lost and weak, a slave to something that was built in delusion.   I see now what I was meant to be - what fate had in store for us.  I am merely now .. emboldening it.   " 

@save44   ࣪◜    "  yes, I do. is that such a horribly insulting thing?  " 

@newIights,     “ i am not a child you need to coddle.  seeing me now,  do you still share that similar sentiment? ”

@save44    ࣪◜    "   i cannot say it doesn't. I wanted to take you with me, but I found you too precious to cradle.  " 

@world618   ࣪◜   such a temper.  do you dislike me that much? 

@newIights:     oh,  really?  how about i send you a couple more buildings until i feel my heart grow lighter?

@world618    ࣪◜     oh?  you seemed to be enjoying yourself, though.   I was fine to indulge a little longer. 

@world618   ࣪◜     haha,  should I give you a break then?  I could always hide you away. that solves your overtime, does it not? 

@newIights:    you’ve been causing great trouble for my peers,  that’s all you had to do to me.  in fact,  i had to work overtime today because of you.

@world618   ࣪◜     so cruel,  I haven't done anything to you.  

@sweetpill    ࣪◜       you could certainly try, no?  I have no intentions of ruining anything just yet.

                              annihilation  that flows through him.
                              a cult.    birthed of a manipulation in
                              a promise for a new world. that this 
                              end was only the shedding of a 
                              cocoon.      how twisted it was to lie
                              of such comforts.   to take the wills
                              and fear for a feast in his own depths. 
                              how foolish mere masses were. 
            
                              he could not change the end.  no one
                              could.   nothing lies beyond the death
                              of the world.     it is simply as fate
                              wishes it to be.

*  @feelingful  ›    i don’t believe they explore the politics quite as deeply as i could have hoped. it’s the only critique i have for it, although i also wish that the prince’s convictions were clearly written in the novel.   [ beau continues, staring at the front cover of the book once he closed it. ]   do you enjoy romance?

₊‧ʚ・︵     @dreamwilt    ◞
                          `   I think it's wonderful, though, and romance novels are such amazing forms of literature- to be able to encapsulate feeling into word so beautifully.    ﹙ shaking their head, he offers a sheepish smile.﹚  I'm getting ahead of myself..  you said it was of a common girl and a prince? I imagine it has a lot of politics then?

*  @feelingful  ›    not many do, but our libraries are full of novels which my family chooses to hide away nowadays. unlike mathematics or history, i find enjoyment in these books instead.   [ a pause, blue irises shift to look at the head of notturno. ]  it’s about a common girl who’s met a prince, they fall in love  ..that’s all.

*  @feelingful  ›   unfortunately, some simply don’t stop until they realize their gums are exhausted, it’s truly terrible.

₊‧ʚ・︵   @dreamwilt   ◞
                          `     i know,  but must they be so loud about it?   it is not as if i am doing anything.
