               "i was always searching for a notion that resembled a hope.” there’s a laugh, or something like it, that follows; short and breathless, as if they’re more trying to stifle something else from escaping. ( bitterness? never. ) what good was hope to a witcher?

🎁   𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐀𝐍 𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐓,  𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐘 𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐒!

   𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑, 𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐅𝐔𝐋 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒  cease to fall as the danger vanishes; a threatening beast, an awful nekker, had cornered the poor girl as she did nothing but play the lute in blessed solitude. Though it was rumoured that those woods were far from safe, a naive young woman chose to stay nonetheless; hadn’t it been for the giant witcher, Guillelma wouldn’t be standing there, still holding her dearest instrument close to her chest; petty offence takes the place.

14.    how    do    they    display    affection?

gift-giving    is    her    favorite    method    ;    she    will    brink    back    gemstones    from    her    travel    and    will    offer    them    with    a    comment    such    as,    they    made    me    think    of    you,    or    it's    the    same    color    as    your    eyes.    she    did    not    have    a    lot    while    growing    up,    was    hungry    more    often    than    she    was    content,    so    she    knows    for    a    fact    that    objects    ;    little    trinkets    that    do    not    necessarily    have    value,    can    mean    a    lot.    she    remembers    a    lady    who    offered    a    small    ribbon    when    she    was    ten    and    stealing    food    to    survive,    a    ribbon    which,    in    hindsight,    was    terribly    ugly    ___    but    ishtar    had    nothing    else,    and    she    held    on    to    it    for    as    many    years    as    the    ribbon    lasted,    because    it    symbolized    a    moment    of    kindness    and    those,    she    could    not    collect    while    wandering    the    continent.    they    have    to    be    offered,    and    that    is    what    she    does    with    her    gifts.

her    second    method,    which    is    reserved    for    people    she    really    is    close    to,    is    touch    :    a    hand    on    the    shoulder    or    the    cheek,    braiding    someone's    hair,    staying    so    terribly    close    even    if    there    is    no    need.    she    is    like    a    cat,    demanding    attention    and    offering    affection    in    exchange.    she    can    be    incredibly    tactile,    whether    the    relationship    is    romantic    or    not,    but    she    will    only    surrender    to    her    instincts    if    she    knows    she    can    trust    the    person    and    if    she    feels    like    she    is    not    alone    feeling    this    way    ___    otherwise,    she'll    stay    a    few    feet    away,    prefering    distance    to    rejection.

15.    do    they    make    snap    judgements    or    take    time    to    consider?

ishtar    is    calculating.    how    can    she    not    be,    when    her    most    powerful    weapon    is    knowing    how    things    might    go    in    the    future    ?    she    takes    her    time,    never    feels    rushed    by    a    clock    that    has    stopped    for    her    a    long    time    ago.    urgency    is    weakness    and    she    has    learned    that    the    hard    way,    running    around,    hoping    to    stop    time,    hoping    to    cheat    fate    ;    she    is    not    that    kid    anymore,    and    she    has    learned    to    tame    her    impatience.    when    talking    to    people,    she    often    takes    time    to    ponder    her    words    __    it    is    an    infuriating    habit    for    her    interlocutors,    as    the    world    often    mistakes    calm    for    dishonesty.    still,    she    prefers    to    consider,    to    take    into    account    all    the    pieces    of    information    at    her    disposal    before    expressing    any    judgement.

however,    her    impatience    resurfaces    from    time    to    time    :    a    friend    who    betrays    her,    an    event    she    was    so    sure    she    had    managed    to    erase    from    fate's    tapestry    ___    when    failure    is    obviously    hers    to    claim    &    when    the    pain    is    terribly    personal,    her    restlessness    gets    the    best    of    her    &    she    makes    snap    judgements,    prefering    to    act    too    fast    rather    than    fail    at    acting.    it's    the    panic,    paranoia    blurring    the    rest    of    the    world,    forcing    her    to    act    before    thinking    __    a    way    to    overtake    fate,    for    no    one    can    forecast    something    you    had    not    predicted    yourself.    it    is    a    weakness,    and    that    is    why    she    prefers    not    to    get    to    close    to    people    in    general.
