Humour: She struggles to find the comedy in many public situations, and usually leans towards dry humor on her better days.

⟡ Saviour
“ If you ever miss me... Just know I am right here. ”
"I hear your voice through her ears and see you through your eyes. I only wish I could have done for you what you had done for me. And for that failure, I will never forgive myself."



⟡ Purpose
“ There is more to the binds that join us than what the heart wishes for.”
"You gave me everything I could have asked for, and more. All my sleepless nights you kept me company. All my worries you brushed away. I miss your council, our talks, when everything felt above us. I know I have let you down, but I cannot bare to show my face to you-- not until I have made things right again. And for that, I am sorry. I can only hope it is not too late."



⟡ Paramour
“ I think I am in love with you, Cel. ”
"I cannot be with you, and I cannot be away from you. You give me a sense of comfort I have not found in a long time, and I don't know how to tell you that it scares me. I fear in our future, our differences, and I fear I am holding you back. You gave me hope, for something far bigger than myself. I can only dream that you will not leave me to do it on my own."



⟡ Kindred
"I can just.. feel like I can talk about things without moral judgement."
" You are a blinding light in the shadows that keep me company. The sole reminder of my own mortality. I have been with you for so long I do not think I could go without; a charm I wear with nothing but pride. Let me shape you into something great."



⟡ Blood
"Nobody will be able to get to her without going through me, I ensure you."
"You have flipped my life upside down, and I am not sure yet whether I consider that a good thing. You are a beautifully bitter reminder of what I could have been. Teach me to love so that we both may not suffer."



⟡ Parallel
"...You won't die, Astreia. And if you do, I'll treck through the Hells themselves to get you back."
"We have always had our differences, but time and time again you prove yourself to me, even though you do not have to. If we had met any earlier, perhaps things would be different. Perhaps they still can be. Regardless, there is no one else I would prefer by my side in a fight, or to share a drink with."



⟡ Family
"Time's coast is chartless."
"Just like your own daughter, I do not get to see you nearly enough. Your advice always feels genuine, and your kindness to me has no bounds. I wish I could express my appreciation, but you may hug me again. Next time stay for a bit longer so I can hear more of those stories."



⟡ Witch
"That means not leavin' me out of it, when you're up to your neck."
"I should have contacted you. And even now, I struggle with what to say in your presence. But when I find the words, you will not live it down."



⟡ Affliction
"If they were truly your friends, they wouldn't force you to make such a decision."
"I know the game you play, because I am playing it too. Perhaps you see that, more than anyone else. You offered me a life I never got to have, and even now I am tempted. But there are things I must see though- I hope you have exercised your patience."



⟡ Change
“I want to believe you are worth more than you claim to be.”
"Despite all our talks, you still do not prod me on my past. It is refreshing and frustrating all the same. I suppose you just do not care-- you are happy to believe I am what you see, but it makes lying to you all the easier. So long as you know where you stand. There is something good in that heart, but I feel I am witnessing it falter with every conversation. Best deal I ever made."



⟡ Resolute
“ I'm saying /I/ don't trust /you/. ”
"Time has made me realize that perhaps you were right not to trust me. Give me the chance to change that."



✧ Estel
“ I wanted't remind you tha' I still think've you a lot. ”
She was glad to have known him.
And for him to have known her.
