Orb: 13th of Rebirth’s Height

[me_and_only_me]

[[The Raven Prince is perched on a roof in the middle of the town, looking far to pleased at the sound of arguing beneath him.]]

It's such a wonderful thing, the scent of a heart dyed with hatred and jealousy; so strong when it's corrupted a strong, pure heart...

[[His smile is a touch unstable as he laughs, quiet and unstable]] Who's blood was it that fell, I wonder? To dye so many hearts so swiftly...

Oh.

[ That is good news. She is actually taken aback that it is good news. ]

What then?

[me_and_only_me]

Something that hates.

[wanderwonder]

That is unhelpfully vague.

[me_and_only_me]

[[a small laugh that's almost mocking]] Why would I know more than that?

[wanderwonder]

It would be nice if you did.

[ itt bitchy olinda ]

[me_and_only_me]

It would, wouldn't it? [[so amused]] The ability to know what your facing... it alludes you, doesn't it?

[wanderwonder]

Yes. [ pause. Why so smirky mcsmirkson! ] I have yet to reach them. I have seen thorns, but these must be of a different sort.

[ They better have, in any case, to be the reason why she was taken from her sister. Not that any reason would be good enough. ]

[me_and_only_me]

It isn't fair, to be brought to such a place and then be abandoned... left to fend for yourself and fight. It's not at all what you'd like to do, or where you'd like to be, is it? Separated from those you care about... it hurts, doesn't it?

[wanderwonder]

Yes. Why do you ask so many questions?

[ pot, kettle, black ]

[me_and_only_me]

To hear the answers... so few people will listen, after all. And is that what people want the most? To be listened to?

[wanderwonder]

... Not the most. A large part.

[me_and_only_me]

Then what is it that you want the most...?
