you shall soon understand that i am not at all like my more muscular brethren.
faeries. honest-to-gods faeries. well, now i have seen everything!
how charming! the tales do little to capture its beauty.
how swiftly the remembrance of all things is buried in the gulf of eternity…
until recently, i had no idea faeries even existed.
how curious that you always come at the most opportune time, [ name ].
some…disobedience is to be expected.
earlier, i… i was flustered and not myself.
...i suppose you do have a rather scholarly air about you.
it… it has been some time since i labored with such… intensity.
never in my wildest dreams did i think it would turn out this well.
you are a fool, and you know it.
sure, it hurts like hells at first, but then ye get to drink away the pain!
you took something from me… something bad. i don’t know what you did, but i’m glad you did it.
long has my mind been clouded with hatred.
that the traditions of my people have not been lost to the ages is of great comfort to me.
i cannot thank you enough for purging the rancor from my heart
there are still countless others who have yet to see the light.
i cannot abandon them to their fate. i will not.
finding a cure will take many moon - perhaps even years - and that is time they do not have.
yet our joy soon turned to horror.
to victory - come hells or high water!
how do you expect to strike fear into your enemies whispering like that!?
the day of reckoning will be upon us soon enough.
little one, the fate of the realm is in your hands.
no one else will share our fate.
i do not know what threats the future holds, but they will not find us unprepared - not as long as i have aught to say about it.
i am not so naive as to believe the answers will come quickly.
i would see a future where we are part of the realm, not shunned by it.
truly, what you speak of is incredible - a miracle, even.
my lady, if i may be so bold as to say so, your radiance - it is blinding.
i’m only looking to find something that reminds me of him - a keepsake, if you will.
for so long i’ve been treated like a hideous beast that i’d forgotten what it was like to be thought of as a girl.
we know not what dangers lurk in the shadows.
it’s not as though i could simply stand by and watch as a helpless girl fights for her life.
it may not seem it, but somewhere in that man is a good heart.
after all, the duty of the strong is to protect the weak.
this world may be full of self-serving men and women but don’t forget that not all of us are like that.
i cannot help but feel proud whenever i look upon you.
that you should, even now, treat me like the young girl i once was… it is perhaps what i’ve come to like about you most.
this is the closest thing to hope that i have felt in a very long time.
it’s not your choice to make!
this would be a far sight easier if they were honest with one another.
and maybe, were things different, i could be content with that.
if we might walk, hand in hand, without drawing the attention of every would-be hero within ten malms.
i want - i've always wanted to help people.
if there is a means by which i might save my people from suffering, i cannot ignore it.
truth be told, i’m terrified.
this is my duty - my battle to fight.
if the time comes when i am no longer myself... i need to know that my fate is in good hands. in your hands.
you are truly radiant, [ name ]. inside and out.
i feel the breeze on my skin! oh, it's wonderful.
and he’s still utterly oblivious to my feelings, i’m sure.
i never truly expected to have another chance at the life i once envisioned for myself - and now that i do, i intend to enjoy it.
there’s no need to rush through all of the best parts.
someday, we will be the salvation of those in need - i swear it.
inexperienced in matters of the heart though they are, you needn’t worry overmuch for those two.
