Two and Seven of Hearts for Jing Yuan
Card Suits. Closed! | @cyber-scribbles
Two of Hearts - How often do things go well for your muse in their relationships?
Well, if his past relationship is anything to go off of, not well. Not at all. Perhaps it's something Jing Yuan has resigned himself to, the cruel irony of being the narrative's favorite, and subsequently left behind. He's old now, his years of foolish young fantasies behind him, but there is an inherent tragedy to any relationship he will have. With a short-life species, they will die in only a few short decades, and once again he will be alone. If not, either runs the risk of becoming mara-struck or dying in battle, or having to see his beloved reincarnate and forget him, forget them. And for those rare, brilliant stars above even his own existence... well.
All stars burn out one way or another, don't they?
Seven of Hearts - How does your muse react to having promises broken?
Jing Yuan is not a man who gets angry. And admittedly, sometimes he reacts as if he knew that promise was going to be broken all along. That is to say: he doesn't. Broken promises, betrayals, he's come to expect those -- not just from his cursed eye, but simply because of his position and reputation. Anyone could plot to betray him, and he is very well aware of this fact. He's learned to mask his thoughts and expressions well where it counts. When it comes to smaller, more inconsequential promises broken, he may sometimes express disappointment. Maybe heartbreak. But more often than not, he doesn't bat an eye, and perhaps that non-reaction is the most unsettling reaction of all.
