@autumnswordsman​ asked : ❝ you have a good heart. keep listening to it. ❞ / Winnie!

★ —  Vocals were brought forth into a quiet lull of a hum as the other spoke, the steady and warm crackle of the fire between them filling the space of silence that led after. What adventures had brought Winnie to become the person he is today could perhaps be detailed in a book as thick as they came, but he knew such an extensive history like his own was bound to have foolish parts what would make anyone look at him with disdain. He had made his own mistakes, ran with the wrong crowd in hopes of finding something that he had been warned of countless times that he did not need. . . Such a rejection was something he was used to, for it was due to his own personal and greedy choices that he had ended up with a sizable scar to further prove to what lengths he’d go to for his malicious desires. A desire to hurt those who had hurt him. Could someone with those intentions truly have a good heart ?? Even today, when they had met with someone of his past that knew all too well of his own, he couldn’t help but WONDER what Zoro would ever think if he knew what he had dealt with. Of course, such a meeting brought about a tension that was all too noticeable, something that he was certain his friend would remark about later. After all, the question if Winnie still had his plans from before had been openly asked, something he had never revealed to Zoro. Ah, but it wasn’t the time for a pity party. . . If his companion was to learn of his past, then he’d learn about it. 

❛ You give me too much credit, Zoro. I’m nothing more than a lonely vagabond who is in search of something that might even be his end. My supposed good heart will be the death of me. ❜ With a stick in his hand, he pushed at the already burning logs closer together. He’d like to think most of his intentions are pure. The ability to heal others with his potions, to find landscapes that people only ever dreamed of and retell stories that kept your heart racing. But deep down, he knew that his ultimate desires, a need to get even and to make sure no one ever suffered like he had ever again was set tight like the roots of an old tree. If his life had been free from the burden of knowing that those he loved most had been hurt by the hands of those who had yet to pay for their actions. . . Perhaps then, he’d believe Zoro’s words ❛ Thank you for thinking so. But perhaps I’ve done nothing but deceive you and the likes of others into believing my heart is good. ❜
