[ What Do You Have To Say? | Ni'Srilan: The Desert ]
Posted by Caitriona on March 30, 2009, 4:37 pm She can feel the end drawing near, just like everyone else can - nothing will matter much after this, the relics are gone, the shards are gathering strength and so it is now the grey takes her chance. After all if it all goes wrong there might not be a tomorrow to worry about. So she draws near to her best friend, he's the only one to ever hold that title for her, there's never been anyone else who understood her like he does and perhaps that is why it takes her till just before the final curtain to come to him. Like all good stories, it comes down to the very end to be resolved, but at least she'll finally know one way or the other. She's been by his side the entire time, through Courage and Delilah and Aian - there was always someone else in the way but it was always her he came to when he needed someone. And he was there for her through the mess with Alcatraz, her distress over her baby girl Aretria and her brief fling with Kyprioth. The sooty chestnut child Ayla sleeps soundly by her side, unknowing of the changes that are to come, soon the childhood home will be no more - her family quite probably scattered to the wind. mc caitríona

I'll give you a summer you can't repeat;
no strings, just warm summer rain
The words come as somewhat as a surprise to her own ears but she doesn't regret saying them. Her voice is shy, tentative even but with an underlying strength to it, determined in her own conviction. "I... I love you... I was always so scared to say it before." She's not the bravest of creatures, not really. It's why she's been a spy, just lurking in the shadows and living a half life, living somewhat vicariously through the lives of others. Now she's finally taking the chance just as their world is about to come crashing down around them. Perhaps that is the best time to say something - everything has to change now, it was going to anyway. His answer will be the beginning of a fresh start for the grey and her chestnut child regardless of what he says. It's time to start living again, now she can almost think about her curious lightning child Aretria without getting sucked back into that void again, has almost put her experience with Alcatraz behind her, it's time to make that leap.
And she's ready to run, either to or from Fantome depending on his answer. It's not something she can just turn away from or pretend she didn't say it or laugh it off. The words are out there now, there's no take backs. She'd never let the words past her lips before - never felt it, always left them unspoken even when others had uttered it to her, but now they come so easily. And suddenly she can't help saying them, partially to make sure she can't back out of it even if he doesn't return the sentiment and partially because it's like a . "I'm not so scared anymore Fantome - I love you."
