i wanted to be ruined —
a little more than i wanted
— to be loved
Part of her is so used to being known that it’s both relieving and slightly terrifying that she doesn’t recognize the woman before her, and she doesn’t recognize her either. The other Ascended freezes and Kiada stills herself, to become less of a threat should Elide imagine that she is one. Not in this body, at least. Not yet.
Still, her iceberg gaze follows Elide’s own, to the spaces she gestures where the books and papers sit. Kiada keeps one foot at the ready, to step back and wander her way back should the woman request it of her. But it goes in ways that Kiada doesn’t expect – a welcome distraction, one that lets a soft smile cross her face and a mental sigh of relief. “Kiada.” She murmurs softly, dipping her head in an easy greeting, settling herself internally to not simply run.
“Oh, I… Originally came from the Grounds. But I…” This is too much information, she begins to shake her head, halfway into telling Elide that she’d died and been reborn. “Came to stay with my adoptive father.” Her shoulders rise and fall in a shrug. “I haven’t been around for almost a year, though, so I’ve missed out on quite a lot.”
