@themarshl asked ❛ you’re becoming quite a celebrity. ❜ (batman)
the corner of her mouth turns up some in a bit of a smile, but not truly amused. if a tree falls in a forest, and no one were around to hear it, does it still make a sound ? the idea still fits with the ideas of whispers. if one citizen whispers, and no one were to hear it ? does the rumors still spread ? okay, well, the idiom doesn’t exactly translate, but enough so where temperance understands that what she has done and why it is she’s become more of a celebrity than she should have. and she believes that the kalarian race does have it’s place to be displeased with how it is she is ruling. invaders came in and took their homes, erected bases, they have infiltrated what was once theirs and sacred. they should not believe in her, but in fairness, they are not the monarchy. while temperance lives day after day for these people, they are not the ones who have to live with the knowledge that they were the ones allowing this. unfortunately, they are only living it. but on that same hand they are not the ones working relentlessly to reverse these damages, or at least the immediate ones. once kalara is released from the empire’s stranglehold there are going to be scars for generations of which temperance just cannot and will not be able to fix.
so yes, she knows she’s become quite a celebrity. though an infamous one for right now. though she hopes that her reign will continue far into where she can hopefully make it right to those who have lived this nightmare. a smile to cobb with the slightest chuckle as hands are clasped in front of her, nodding to his words. ‘ i’m their favorite celebrity to hate right now. though i hope to change that in the near future. ‘
