❝ I’m not sure… ❞ In truth, it’s only wishful sentiment. A hope. A silent understanding deep within her heart that said everything would return as it once was; for her, it was a light, warm feeling which spread through her. She pulls herself out from her deep thoughts to watch him. There’s sadness in his words. The burden’s of his heart was closed off to others, and that included her also. Gaze softens, but, she doesn’t say anything … not yet. Not until she can find an answer to his question. She wonders what his troubles were; she wonders if they could ever be eased by small sentiments such as this. But, in saying that, there’s an air of calmness that continues to wash over her.
❝ I have seen souls that are burdened by the past; and, those who are cursed to a horrible end. ❞ Gaze drops, but she remains composed. ❝ If something can be tainted… then, it also has the chance to be purified. So if it turns out a soul can be tainted, I’ll still believe it can be saved as well. ❞
❝ Diluc, ❞ A pause, as golden hues rise and hands rest in her lap. ❝ You believe different … why is that ⁇ ❞
❛ purified , huh ? ❜
why is that ? why is it that he believes a soul tainted with the blood of his father is to be sentenced to damnation for all eternity ? why is it that he wears guilt where pride should be & darkness in the light ? tragedies oft blind him from the truth . he’s not always so gloomy , but the later the hour , the more grievous his thoughts become . he’s thankful for a moment that he is not laying in his lonesome in his haunted sheets , but he thinks he might rather be plagued with wakefulness than questioned about his existential beliefs . still , he’d humor lumine , but he’d never reveal too much . at least , that’s what he wants to think .
❛ i’ve seen darkness . i know it like it lives on the palms of my hands . ❜
not only in himself , but in others as well . the souls of the corrupt , those who force themselves in the shadows & lurk where hell bleeds into soil .
❛ i just don’t think that everyone can be saved . ❜
Staring
at the tree for a long time now, I am reminded
of the righteousness I had before the scorch
of time. I miss who I was. I miss who we all were,
before we were this: half-alive to the brightening sky,
half-dead already.
@wanderfated scribed : something in your eyes just gives it away .
the very notion causes a swell of discomfort in his gut . that the very look in his eyes would run away with all of his secrets & time - worn tragedies . . . curse those who can read others like an open book . he wishes not to be portrayed in anyone’s light but his own . he scoffs quietly while shifting his eyes out to the people who walk alongside them in inazuma’s unusually busy streets . leaning his back against the outside of a building wall , his arms fold , & he sighs out some stress that had been harboring in his spirit .
“ o-oh, did you .. not feel like talking ? i can leave if you want .. ? ” she is nervous about even sitting nearby.
❛ no , sorry . ❜
to get so absent in his mind that he loses his grip with reality . . . well , it doesn’t happen often enough to consider it normal . there’s a pang of guilt that resonates in his chest & he shakes his head gently , as if that would relieve it of its pressure .
head lifts from bar, shifting focus ‘pon the bartender. ❝ i don’t know, someone said it once. i think. still, why are they wrong ? ❞
❛ pain is just too complex to consider it so simple . . .
most of the time , anyway . ❜
& he muses his thoughts in an idle notion thinking back to the moments where emotional turmoil would spin out of his control , overtaking him in a fit of past trauma & lived - out nightmares . of course he thinks it’s wrong to tie the two words ‘ simple ’ & ‘ pain ’ to one another . though , he cannot say the same for everyone , he supposes .
after all , every life leads a different experience .
Her laughter is soundless, quiet as lips dare to smile. So pure is her amusement, humming softly as she rocks on her heel, and clasps hands behind her back. ❝ You think so ⁇ ❞ Lumine did not have all the answer; she may have travelled vast worlds, experienced things beyond most comprehension – even her being was an enigma. ❝ I like to believe, at the end, the soul can remain as bright and pure as it started. ❞ This world may try and tell her different; but this was only one of many, many worlds. It too did not have all the answers. ❝ Even if the heart is greatly burdened. ❞
❛ that’s an interesting thought . ❜
that a soul can remain pure despite the heart being plagued with bitterness . his voice is casual , yet contemplative as he wipes down the counters of the winery with a damp cloth . the sensation is so familiar against his fingers . he knows if he goes at it long enough , his skin would begin to wrinkle .
❛ then , you don’t think a soul could be tainted ? ❜
memories of his past flow through his head . blood on his hands . his fallen father . friends he could not yet save . his weakness in those moments . . . he harbors a guilt so burdensome it would live on for eternity despite his passing .
“ che, bastard !!! “ gritting his teeth, the chūnin has to stop himself from surging forwards, instead opting to swipe a clawed hand through the air threateningly. the canine at his side growls lowly, fur bristling as he assumes a defensive stance. ah, that does it. he hurt akamaru’s feelings.
how unruly . the boy’s horrid attitude irks diluc like nothing & he folds his arms against his chest , peering down at him with scorn written on his face . to say one idle musing & be faced with such an overexaggerated display of offense . . . so annoying .
@abysswaltz scribed : ❛ i see little futures in the distance but none belong ❜
little futures , huh . . . it’s an interesting notion , that all thoughts of the future might be shadowed in the darkness of non - belonging . he swishes the grape juice held in the glass that stems from the tips of his fingers . he’s holding the glass by the rim . there’s a melancholic feel about the air , about the look on his face . he frowns as his gaze is cast onward in a blurred nonexistence . thinking too far into the future can be so perplexing -- diluc tends to avoid it when he can .
dark purple forms a whirlpool in his hand .
❛ there’s no point in agonizing over what’s to come . ❜
he speaks matter - of - factly , like kaeya is his younger sibling & diluc is here to guide him . it’s not often that he opens up like this . in fact , diluc is probably one of the only people to have ever seen it . it’s been a long time since they’ve spoken to each other with sincerity , so he thinks kaeya must feel some sort of longing desperation . maybe loneliness . . .
the two of them know loneliness as it were a brother .
