I'm uncertain as to what it is you're trying to accomplish. You complained so much of me and my "story" yet you say I'm difficult to forget. I know you claim the power to, but I don't believe you are able to change someone's history no matter how much you believe your changes would "make more sense." Not even Ravenna could do something like that.

What does she think is wrong with you?

[breathoflight]

She says something about my character development not making much sense given the pacing of the plot.

I'm not really sure what she means, but she does argue there's no way I could have learned to wield a blade as quickly as I did.

[tolaywaste]

I guess any weapon takes time. How good are you?

[breathoflight]

Decent enough to hold my own. I won't be entering any tourneys, however.

[tolaywaste]

Maybe you just had something important to focus on.

[breathoflight]

I did. My kingdom was in trouble and its people were suffering. I had no time to waste.

[tolaywaste]

People in danger make you do crazy stuff. Makes sense to me.

[breathoflight]

Have you been in a similar situation then?

[tolaywaste]

Sure. I don't think I caught on as quickly as you did, but I got it eventually.

[breathoflight]

Then does your mundane agree with mine?

[onebadapple]

Oh dear, change your history? Is something wrong?

[breathoflight]

She says my history is unbelievable.

I cannot say I would believe it had it not happened to me, but that does not make it less conceivable.

[onebadapple]

Unbelievable? In what way?

[breathoflight]

She says I learned a blade too quickly and...some personal relationships of mine developed without cause.

[onebadapple]

Well, there's a lot of things people can learn quickly under terrible amounts of stress or worry!

[breathoflight]

This is what I think she fails to understand. My kingdom, my people needed me. I didn't have time to spare.

[onebadapple]

You sound very brave, and your people are very fortunate.

[breathoflight]

[She smiles grimly.]

I thank you, but I do not... [She worries her bottom lip a moment as she tries to find the right word.] ...feel very brave.

[onebadapple]

Sometimes bravery isn't feeling brave.

Sometimes bravery is doing what is right even when you're incredibly scared.

[exeuntomnes]

They can change everything.

[breathoflight]

Where do they draw their power from?

[exeuntomnes]

[ smirk. ]

Magic?

[breathoflight]

Do you know of any way to undo it then?

[Every spell has to have an out after all.]

[exeuntomnes]

[ She shrugs and draws her finger across her throat. ]

Otherwise, endure it.

[breathoflight]

I see. [She's about to thank the girl, but she's not exactly sure for what. Best leave it generic then.] I thank you.
