REXANNA
She listened to her pale haired friend as she watched the wheel of fire after placing her own candle, her eyes lingering on each of the flickering flames before her eyes slipped back toward the man with that same soft smile. When he had finished, she rolled her shoulders in a small shrug. “I’ve found it much easier to live a life forgiving and kind.” She paused, thoughtfully, eyes sharpening slightly as she thought about it further. “You end up being happier that way.” She added, almost a bit quickly, before her eyes softened and she beamed a charming smile to him.
“Life in Caido has been so different from Halyven and Asciend. I think now I’m finally starting to realize it.” She added, stepping away from the wheel to stand beside Jigano and observe the crowds for Fiat Lux, milling about and chatting and overall beaming with happiness. “I can shed all the things I used to protect myself back then and just… Be. It’s relieving.” She laughed a bit awkwardly before turning her attention to Jigano with a pinning stare.
“It seems the same could be said for you? With a certain blond?” It was quiet as she said it to Jigano, but it was almost a conspirator grin as she referenced toward how close Jigano and Rory had been when she first encountered them this Festival. She didn’t know if they had those feelings for one another before the events of Longnight, but she was glad to have prevented their untimely deaths during it so they could share their time together.
