...how do you mean?

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[justfuckingtryit]

Just in general.

I think I've seen these two, before.

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[widenessofthesea]

"Fucked up" is a little vague.

...worth trusting, you think?

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[justfuckingtryit]

They weren't bad, from what I saw.

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[widenessofthesea]

Neither kind nor nice but—forthright, it seems.

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[justfuckingtryit]

Mm. Exactly.

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[widenessofthesea]

It seems like our Hellfire is in a bit of a crisis of identity, though.

...can thousand-plus-year-old swords have growing pains? But she does act a bit like a young teen.

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[justfuckingtryit]

Did you touch the roses, back at the dorm?

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[widenessofthesea]

...they felt like longing. Like—being othered. Wild rose, meaning—something different, I believe.

Which is a little odd, since I thought it meant "simplicity," but the feeling was quite clear.

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[justfuckingtryit]

...yeah. I felt it, too.

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[widenessofthesea]

So I suppose it's... a choice, of sorts? Whether she wants being something different and set apart and singular to matter as a part of who she is.

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[justfuckingtryit]

It was ripping parts of her apart.

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[widenessofthesea]

So your opinion is that the roses should go. But we don't know what the others mean.

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[justfuckingtryit]

Some of them are okay, I think.

[He lifts his own arm, which is growing lotuses and aconite]

These showed up when I shared a memory of us together with her.

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[widenessofthesea]

[ she peers over at the line of little flowers— ]

Those are the flowers engraved on her door, aren't they?

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[justfuckingtryit]

I don't know shit about flowers, but - they look the same.

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[widenessofthesea]

So, I suppose that means they represent her, in some way.

"Aconite, key of rage": do you think she seems particularly angry?

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[justfuckingtryit]

When I touched them earlier it was something like -

[Please hold while he struggles to put feelings into words]

- rage that stays with you. Pain that defines you. That gives meaning.

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[widenessofthesea]

Ah...

...ah, I see.

That really fits in with all of us.

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[justfuckingtryit]

It really does.

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[widenessofthesea]

What do you think about what she is, Lumen? Not who, but what.

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[justfuckingtryit]

She just is what she is, and who she is, same as anyone else.

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[widenessofthesea]

What about the parts of her that aren't the same as anyone else? The part of her that was on that battlefield.

I mean this in an objective way; I think the true answer is important to what we do next.

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[justfuckingtryit]

In what way?

Re: CHANCEL LELI

[widenessofthesea]

I suppose because if we cannot accept parts of her, it'll be hard to let go of the wild roses.
