you drew memories in my mind I could never erase
painted colors in my heart I could never replace
"I wouldn't put child soldiers past them," Amalia murmurs darkly, before she can keep the words from flooding out into the air. Honestly, even now that she lives in Stormbreak the aura of mystery that surrounds the Order continues to irk the Archangel, and the irritation mars her bright expression, briefly hardening the angles of her face.
She relaxes quickly, forces herself to remember the words of Vi. And the words of Ronin, who Amalia glances back at fondly, empathy furrowing her brows and softening her smile. She reaches an arm around his wait, squeezing gently in a sideways hug that says more than she can put into words. You have a family that loves you, the gesture says, emphasized by an outpouring from the Attuned bond.
The moment dies in bashfulness, Amalia drawing away to rub at her wrist and stare down at her feet. "That I would want to fight?" she supplies, shrugging a shoulder. "I don't - not exactly - but..." Her chin turns up to look back at Ronin, a resolute set in her jaw. "If there's going to be a war, then I want to be able to hold my own. And protect the people who can't. I've... we've lost too much already, Ronin. I can't afford to be weak."
