i wanted to be ruined —
a little more than i wanted
— to be loved
“It was a shock to me, too, believe me.” She says softly, letting the warmth of the friendliness this woman offers become a boon for her to warm up as well. It’s been so long, after all. “One moment it was just… Peaceful and quiet, warm. The next I hear someone asking me to follow them. And here I am.” She gestures to herself, newly Ascended but alive which was more than she could’ve said a season ago.
Soon, however, Elide is guiding her down the paths, explaining that the mission was successful. “I heard there were two cures… One by the Voice and the other by the Old Gods.” She considers carefully, pausing to mull over her thoughts before she draws silent. She thinks of Tanau, that beautiful god, how she’d wanted nothing more than to help him and yet perished in the mission regardless.
She thinks she can remember seeing him for a moment after her death. She thinks she can remember an apology before the warmth and brightness took her away. Or perhaps it was just coming to terms with her death.
Elide stops beside a lengthy hall and she snaps out of her thoughts to focus on the other Ascended. After a few more moments, there’s a book in her hand and a wide fanged grin on her face. “I would love that.” She agrees, already feeling relieved with the idea of it all. Easy conversation, nothing difficult. It was exactly what she needed right now. So she takes the torch, helps to juggle whatever books Elide chooses to bring with, and starts heading back toward the table she’d initially found the woman at. “Have you been in Halo long?” She asks, turning her head to glance at her companion.
