@ruburan​: "I don't want to talk about it."/ i don’t know the meme lmao

he watched her carefully with soft eyes, wishing he could say the right words that may bring about comfort but instead he would remain silent and simply remain by her whilst she spoke or, rather did not speak — he’d never force an answer from her, nor would he ever pressure her into speaking about the discomforts of her past — things he’d never relate to her, her pain was her own as well as his. yevon had wronged her in more ways than either of them could ever imagine — especially the praetor of yevon himself... new yevon, he would remind himself.

he wanted desperately to break away from the cruel and inhumane doings that they practiced within the temple walls... far from any observers — the torment he heard they had caused multiple children left him completely and utterly speechless, the shook him to his very core. ❛ well, is it alright if i stay here with you until you feel like speaking about something — anything? ❜ hoping his presence and his willingness to do better and make a change within the corrupt religion may be enough to satiate some of the anger that festered inside of her, her rightful anger — in truth, it made his blood boil to know that the very name he was praetor to had done so many injustices to the ones he cared for, and as the face, no, as the leader of the people of new yevon he would bring light to the darkness that lurks, waiting for the opportune moment to strike and relive their old ways  — new yevon would remain NEW and just.

@ruburan​: The temples of Yevon still seem as foreboding as they once had many years ago to a little girl with nothing but the clothes on her back. Old and unpleasant memories begin to surface when she is 'trapped' between Bevelle's walls, and the kindly faced praetor only makes it stranger. A sweet face for an ugly organisation, at least that was her belief. "Have you ever considered windows? It's like a haunted house in here." she scoffs, looking around. "What might the ghosts here speak of, I wonder."                                        ↪    UNPROMPTED ASK. // always accepting

the temples hold plenty of memories. . . history, both good and bad parts — he recognizes the women who stands before him, she is now living in guadosalam, he once took refuge there, two years ago after he’d suffered a gunshot wound, though then it was occupied by maester seymour — and home to the guado, rather… her and the company she kept. he stares — its quite a blank stare, he has no opinions of her, not yet, her actions were not for him to judge, nor her words — there were many who insulted his religion and the temples in which he resides. breaking the stare a small smile curves on his mouth, he is the face of new yevon, and as the face, he must be approachable — represent new yevon and the people who follow. ❛ our temples are harmless, i assure you — windows or not.  ❜ spoken with a small laugh, the laugh added to his friendly appearance — not to say he wasn’t. ❛ i’m sure there are plenty of horrors ghosts, if they were real, may speak of — no matter where they come from. tormented souls… are they not? — tell me, what do you suspect they may speak of, if they truly exist, that is. ❜ curiosity captures him, he tilts his head, moving slowly, inching closer to her, but keeping a respectable distance.

My Result: Lawful Good (87%)

You create order in an understanding, harmonious way. You tend to follow authority and rules, almost blindly; this can lead to close-mindedness towards outside perspectives, despite good intentions. Regardless, you normally tell the truth and have a positive code of honor, making you the archetypal "guardian hero".

he was always so carefree, more so than the rest of the crimson squad, gippal brought out the best of baralai, taught him to live a little — to have fun, but deep down, baralai always thought that the happiest people were always hiding something darker inside themselves, gippal had gone through his own hardships. ❛ gippal… ❜ a whisper that barely even escapes his mouth — how can he even begin to comfort him? he’d spent so long concerned with his own pain, dealing with the betrayal from a close friend left him less than he was before, it left him someone who he would grow to be ashamed of… another thing he cursed nooj for. ❛ i’m willing to lend an ear… for you. ❜ he sounds warm — almost how he had before, sweet and gentle. ❛ gippal… we have both been hurt — this i know, but we still… we will always have one another, right? ❜

his hand touches his chest lightly as though he had been wounded — he exhales gently, his eyes meet hers with a sadness that he could neither explain nor hide. curious thing, isn’t it? how humans become so attached to others that their pain, became one's own, and it lingers as though they’ve felt the brunt of the hurt.  mouth pulling into a straight line — his emotions were usually kept in check, in fear of overreacting, or worse… ❛ lady yuna… ❜ he speaks softly, his hand falls back to his side — ❛ how could one ever do such a thing? ❜ she knew more than anyone else about pain and suffering, though it is said not to compare — baralai couldn’t fathom all the pain and suffering she had gone through. ❛ my heart bleeds for more than myself, always, is that a fault within me? ❜  a present crack in the mask he paraded around in. ❛ lady yuna, how would i fix that, and if i could, should i strive to? ❜ a pause as he ponders ❛ is that not what it means to be human — to care, and do so deeply, regardless of the hurt that follows after? ❜

@meyvn​: “ this silence which lies between us is an overwhelming suffocation ”                      ↪    𝐏𝐎𝐄𝐓𝐑𝐘 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒 //  accepting

for far too long he has held his tongue — this man who was once one of his dearest friends, a sickening betrayal, still. . . his voice is soft when he speaks ❛ we have nothing to say to one another. ❜ the gunshot ached just from the mere sight of the man, but more than that his heart sank, pieces of it lie in the dirt where nooj left them to rot. betrayal comes from a close friend, they say. too long he doubted himself… time and time again, asking what he did to make nooj behave that way, instead of questioning why nooj hated the three of them, why he hated baralai himself? there was never an answer — there would never be an answer good enough to make the pain stop, to heal the wounds forever inflicted on his heart.

❛ suffocation is all we have, nooj. ❜ looking straight into the meyvns eyes he dares not to break the contact — standing tall, holding himself back the tears that beg to be set free and the wrath he’s held in for so long wishes to be screamed, but alas, his pain would fall upon deaf ears — nooj didn’t care for them now, and he did not now, baralai truly believed that, and it killed him slowly every day of his life.
