WEAVER
Never forget what you are
for surely the world will not.
She hums a laugh at that. True enough. There were some advantages to breasts, and one of them was a whole lot of free drinks. It was a rare day she actually paid for her own, unless she simply wasn’t trying. ”Mmm,” she says, taking a sip of her drink with one hand and gesturing to the Kraai with the other. ”We are kind of rich and indulgent in general now, you know.” They may not be living in a Palace (though she had no interest in trading their home for a house made of ice), but they were no longer merely scraping by either. ”And I admit, I'm glad you are properly alive too.” Because he does seem to finally be alive, and not some shell of a brother she once knew. It would not all be fixed in one day, but it was a start.Not that this lasts for them, because they can’t quite manage not to argue unless they aren’t speaking to one another. Though she doesn’t intend to turn this into a fight. She just...well, she doesn’t quite know. It’s hard. And maybe she just wants one thing to not be hard though that would not be the case here. ”I don’t expect you to say anything, really. I just know you, and I can read your mind sometimes,” she says with a chuckle, elbowing him gently and playfully. ”I guess I’m just worried he’s yet another rift between us, which I do not want. I don’t have any expectations of you liking him or accepting him. Maybe I just want to make sure he isn’t going to become something that tears us apart.” It’s hard to quite put it into words, but she tries, with all the honesty he deserves. She’d always been honest with him, but maybe not as fully as she should have been.
She chuckles at that. ”I almost like the sound of that, ‘my lady’, except it would require I actually act like a lady, I would think.” Which of course, Weaver rarely does. And the name of the drink is not a hard decision, because though there was indeed one Lady Hale left in the world, the other was gone. Yet there were still two Hales. Over the name of the other drink she writes The Hale. Singular only because it would be weird to order ‘one Hales’, but the point is the same. It is for both of them.
make it your strength
Then it can never be your weakness.
