            Aria   could   be    FACE    TO    FACE    with    GOD    themself    and    still    push    her    own     beliefs    and    agenda.    Eyes    meet    the    other,   she    REALIZES    she’s    being    annoying,    and     doesn’t    care.                “Nah.    Don’t    exist.”

It was a roar, anger and desperation mixing to fill in the cracks of his words. He was a leader. He couldn’t just accept that some problems were unable to be mended.

The Host paused. He seemed to need some time to take in those words, head tilted the slightest bit. His face was soon graced with a soft smile. “It must be wonderful to think that way.” He realized how it had sounded and sighed. Perhaps he had not given it as much thought as he should have. “There is so much beauty within the world. I wish I could see it. Maybe then I could be in love with it as well.”

“Why would you say that?” Chase looked up, concern etched into his face. “It’s... better to be honest than to keep feelings back, isn’t it?” He shifted a bit, nervously pulling at his shirt. It felt a little hypocritical, considering he kept his own heart guarded after what had occurred with Stacey. He gazed upon Mavis, conflicted in a way.

Henrik let out a soft chuckle at that, before nodding in agreement. “I can understand how you feel. Most z’hink z’he same regarding z’he doctor’s office. But I can assure you z’hat it i’z a good place.” He had to consider it, his lips upturning into a gentle smile. “Perhaps I am biased in z’hat regard.”
