❝ don’t fool yourself that it’s different this time. it’s never different. ❞ from lito!

  a bitter thought : has she ever sounded like this ? there was a time, not too long ago — though it certainly felt like an age — when such sentiment would perhaps settle over her with ease, perfectly at home amidst plenty of other, similarly dreadful convictions. ( back when the Empire seemed infallible and her future set in stone ) it made sense then, for a young phoenix in a golden cage devoid of change to think herself content with a path pre-ordained.

( there comes the slightest twinge of her brows and scrunch of her nose, though whether because of vaunted Warrior's words — or a freshly brewed coffee tasting wrong — is anyone's guess. )

  it all feel so ugly now — so stupid. she was a child ( still is to many, though loathe she is to admit it ), so how can an entity so much larger than life — draped in heroism and light — carry an ideal that is so... stifling ? the world is constantly changing, brimming with a potential few ever come to realize. little bird wonders, with a certain bitterness, if perhaps it is the privilege of her youth to look 'pon radiant knight and think him a pessimistic idiot.

  ❛ things only stay the same if you let them,❜ nearly incredulous comes her voice, careful to stray from mockery, but clearly baffled by the very notion that such a thing needs to be said. ❛ don't complain about an equation giving you the same result over and over,❜ a dark beverage is joined by the gentle pour of milk, colors swirling into brighter hues, ❛ if you never change the variables.❜
