Re: shizel | open

Hey!

(An energetic voice sounds from behind, as Rikku bounds over. The beads at the end of her braids make faint clicks with her steps. She takes note of the woman's clenched fist, passing it off as nerves for what they are all facing.)

Shizel, that map keeping you in good company?

[darkaurora]

Just what she didn't want, or need. Shizel rolled her eyes lazily to the back of her head, finally turning to face the blonde ball of energy. The younger woman might have proven herself useful in repairing the trinkets and various machines this world had dumped in their laps, but putting on airs for years was growing tiresome.

"It is all the company I need," she responded coldly.

[gullwinged]

Rikku failed spectacularly at hiding the wince that resulted. Her time with Paine gave her a tough skin for dealing with blunt people. Still, that was extra harsh. Shizel had always been a grump, but the woman had become...off lately.

With everything going on, who could blame someone - maybe becoming cold and distant and...cruel was a defense mechanism? The thief hated being alone - it was hard for her to believe anyone could truly want that. She shrugged the insult off, lacing her hands behind her back and looking at the map to try to find whatever was so intriguing as she rocking from heel to toe.

"Is this your first fight?"

[darkaurora]

"No," she answered simply at first, then after a few minutes of silence, or perhaps contemplation, she continued. "Not the first, and surely not the last." Fate had never been kind to her since that fateful day in Celestia... and she was sure that would not be changing anytime soon. But now, she took matters into her own hands -- shaped the world the way that she wanted, never to be the victim of circumstance again...

[gullwinged]

"You think...we'll win then?" The statement about it not being the last battle was so matter of fact, Rikku wished she could feel so self assured. She had learned over the years, that being afraid was not something to be ashamed of. You weren't any less of a guardian or a warrior because you knew fear - fear was just part of being human. It could even be a good thing, it kept you on your toes. It meant you cherished life, your own and those around you.

It was still a terrible feeling though. Like a sickness that washed over her before every major battle, tying her stomach and soul into knots. "I hope so."
