Of all things, learning a new currency was turning out to be a bigger hurdle than Aurica had expected. There was a reasonable supply of groceries already, but if she wasn’t going to burden anyone, she’d better buy her own fast. That was her plan, but...

“Ugh...” Eyes downcast, looking more than a little disgruntled, she looks over her list again, putting her fingers up to count before losing track of where she was. This is so embarrassing. Why am I so stupid...? She knew she was only a D-Class Reyvateil, but it shouldn’t make her utterly empty-headed. Come on! “So with this and this, we just have to add...”

He will be dropped for you!

a fading memory

Each time, it takes a few minutes to remember completely. Her hair comes easiest, long and dark, sleek and wavy. It leads to her face, fuzzy at the features, but she can tell it’s similar to the one she stares at in the mirror. Just more freckles, more melanin. A nose similar to hers, just flatter. The same heavy lids. All the more she can remember is all the more she can hold onto the idea she doesn’t look like him. His genes are all incidental and strained, barely taking hold of her DNA.

How could she even exist without her? The only one that actually knew her before everything?

Sometimes, she can’t remember how her scarred hands felt on her forehead while it as hot to the touch. Or how light her touch was when smoothing slimy aloe over her burns.

Meaningful relationships to her are ones that treat her like an equal or better, listen to what she has to say, and aren’t based on profiling her due to her past or how she appears. Treating her like a person despite her temper and overall demeanor, and willing to have conversations beyond drinking and killing. Being able to continue doing that despite any fights or altercations. Which is honestly really basic “good relationship” material, so that tells you a lot about how she sees people.

👑 - what’s the possession they brag about the most?

She isn’t exactly one to brag, but if she were to, it would certainly be over rare purchase she managed to succeed at – anything she likes, that’s also impersonal.

✤ - a memory that involves romance/love

It’s too embarrassing. When I’m better, you can come see me.

She had given him an answer like that, but when she really thought about it, she wasn’t sure she would ever feel ready to let Lyner watch her practising her singing. He was a nice guy, who wouldn’t admit it – but she knew well enough that it wouldn’t be fun to spend his night with her, going on some pilgrimage to Song Stone park. He didn’t altogether seem like he had anything more exciting to do, but… what with Misha, what with his mission –

It was a futile thought, anyway. She couldn’t say that she had any feelings for him, more than caution and curiosity, but she couldn’t help thinking that this was how things went. If she were to get a partner – in song, and, perhaps, in love – then it would surely go like this: a fated meeting, saving a life that had fallen from the sky; a world-saving journey; the first person to praise her in all her memory. If she were to get a partner, then…

What are you thinking…? He’s just going to leave once he gets Paja.
