what are some of your deepest desires echo ?
would it be a desire with someone you know or multiple people you know...?
a situation you desire yourself to be in?
Echo leaned back in her seat, a cup of cool, minty, ether spritzer in her hand. She'd gotten a taste for the stuff since Drifter had introduced it to her. Made the bite of stasis not sting so much.
"Mnnn, that's a few questions in a row," she said coyly, "Or maybe just one big, rambly one. Honestly? My deepest desire is to belong, to feel like I belong, like I'm wanted, like I'm loved. I want to be loved in the deepest ways we Lightbearers could possibly be. Sometimes that includes physically too.~"
She took a sip of her ether spritzer, her cheek plates closing to keep it from spilling out of open cheeks. "Hmmm, that's a tough one. I know there are people I'd love to bang with, but most of the people I know are either taken, out of my class, or not my type. But if we're going to talk, I'd have to say I wouldn't mind getting done by Shaxx. Big enthusiastic guy like that? An arm-wrestling jock for sure, but encouraging to do better? Oh, he makes the crucible almost bearable, I bet he'd do wonders in a bedroom.
"Crow would be a nice one too, though he'd definitely be a softer touch. He's a little older than I am as a new light, heh like I can call myself a new light after 3 years of being a Guardian. But we're both still young, still figuring things out. I think he'd be a good first-time relationship if I wanted one. I mean... if he's over Amanda and Joylon I mean."
Echo paused to take another sip from her icy drink, thinking about the others she'd like to try things with. If she was honest, Chalco was one she'd been wanting to try. An ardent, enthusiastic, connection-seeking hunter who knew Ikora better than most people and who could hold her own even in the worst of circumstances. If she could just muster up the courage to ask or maybe kiss the exuberant hunter, she would. But that was for the future, not for the now.
She took another sip and considered the last question.
"I want to be wanted," she said at last. "I want to be in a situation where I'm so valuable that others would fight each other to have me. I want to be a gem, something worth fighting for or over. I want to be wanted, to be treasured, to be claimed so completely that there's no going back... and even if there was, that I wouldn't want to go back."
Echo frowned and swirled her misty drink. "I don't think it'll happen, to be made half of another's whole, but I can dream can't I?"
