She simply walked back up to the door to make sure it was locked, for fear of Cedric entering. Then she pulled out a chair for him, and sat down on her bed.

Lotus Blossom Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said: "You will, if you choose to accept it." She paused. "I want to know if I have a home, or if I simply have a life. If I exist with no real place of belonging or meaningful soul." She looked at herself in the mirror again. "Perhaps, if material items could be a home. If a book, or a painting, or even a clock could be a home to someone. Perhaps then, I could have a home. And have a place where I belong." She played with the rings on her fingers. "Or maybe I was only meant to be a carrier for other's feelings, as always. Maybe I wasn't meant to rise in power, and use my intellect to assist me. Maybe I was only created to assist others. Or give my child a life. And the greatest fear- maybe I wasn't created for any particular reason at all." She looked at him. "So you see, I must know if I have a home. Not a house. A home." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Blossom Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 1 hour ago, The Aspiring Archivist said: "You do. And you can do what you wish to make it." "Ah. There we are. I must make it for myself." She brushed a hand through her hair. "I must put my blood, sweat, and tears in this nearly impossible quest to belong. No." She sat down on her bed, looking out the window. "No, I cannot. I'm tired. I'm far too tired to try again. Somewhere else. Somewhere new. I was born here, and this is my fate. I have no more energy for fresh starts or false hopes. I'm also far too insignificant to leave the world behind. Who am I to try to find a home? For someone like me, it's not worth it. For someone like me..." She looked down. "We're a lost cause." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She laughed coldly under her breath. "How could I tell you when I don't even know myself?" She shut her eyes, her face suddenly displaying a look of pure pain. She was tired. She had a headache. She was in pain. But not from any sickness or pregnancy. Simply time. And her life. Her short life, shortened by a starfall. Yet still, all too long.
