“Being used to something does not mean that it is any less awful or lighter of a burden.” It is something she is all too familiar with. Power is burdensome, over time it becomes familiar, even a reliable companion at times, but it is never any easier to make peace that some gifts feel more like a curse.

Or perhaps she ought to let the matter go. It really isn’t any of her business.

“Indeed, you are correct. We ought to move on.” She looks at the smoldering remains. It reminds her of similar scenes from the past. Beryl is accustomed to walking among ruin, had been forged in its crucible. “But before that, here.”

She holds out some water towards her companion. Though she may be likened to stone and seen as immovable, she has always taken care of her own. Refusal would be accepted, but Beryl is hoping the other will not reject her kindness. That the action will be taken as the casual mercy that it is.

“When this matter is concluded, would you do me the honor of sharing a meal with me? Consider it my way of expressing my thanks.” Perhaps a touch too soft for this moment, with the air acrid with smoke, the scene laid one of destruction. But for Beryl, such things are familiar in a way that reminds her of home. But she wrests the tenderness from her own breast as quickly as she realizes that she’s softened.

“Do not mind such words. Such matters are unimportant compared to what must be done.”

Destruction has come more easily than anything else for her. But that is her burden to bear. And because it is her burden to bear, she offers her companion a way out.

“If you do not wish to see such affairs to completion, I will not force your hand.”

For those possessing gifts that they did not ask to bear, even a small choice can ease the burden, if only for an instant.

The Government and the Knowledge of Magical Girls.

Given the prevalence of the unnatural phenomenon that necessitates the existence of magical girls in what is collectively known as Deagolic Phenomena, it is not unusual or expected for the government to be aware of their existence. They know of magical girls and the threats they face off against, though the government themselves are not necessarily involved in such conflict. They do not work with or against them, though they do have a vested interest in knowing which individual can be classified as magical girls. They are especially interested in the more powerful magical girls, though their success in acquiring such information is limited.

It is presumed that the government wishes to harness the power of these magical girls and either use them as living weapons or to use them to access the power that they are able to access by virtue of their contracts. However, they are unaware that magical girls cannot be utilized in such a way. A magical girl’s contract is a deeply personal thing and even if they could be weaponized, most would be against it by virtue of wanting to protect something they’d rather keep close to the chest.

In the most general terms, they are aware of magical girls and the threats they face off against, but they are not privy to the details of this world.

Beryl as a Healer

Despite the choices Beryl has felt that she must make, she is adept at the healing arts, as it had been one of the things her mother taught her extensively. She has always wanted to be the one that heals, but so often she has been made to choose harm. Given the opportunity, Beryl would have forsaken the sword and taken on the scalpel instead.

She wants to be the one to relieve suffering. In a way, she does fulfill that role in being the Saint. Simply by existing, the world remains stable, and thus mitigates additional suffering. But she had never been raised to remain idle and it is in her nature to take matters into her own hands.

The healing arts do not come as naturally as the arts of war do. When it comes to matters of the materials of healing, such as the relevant botany or how to tie a bandage just so, she excels. Part of it comes from experience. There are countless times where she’s tended to the wounds of the ones that accompanied her during her Crusade. Her duties to the world also extend to those that walk it, perhaps more so than the calls of the divine ever mattered. If it is within her power, should she not help her fellow man? Thus, it is with practical matters that she chooses to aid those that stand with her and, in better circumstances, those that do not.

When it comes to the more mystical of the healing arts, she falters. It is difficult to discern the cause for it, but Beryl cannot heal others without causing considerable pain to herself. Perhaps it is because a healer must know the full extent of the wound to treat it and her strange set of circumstances to a logical extreme. It may also be a result of that strange infection that encroaches upon her body even now. Regardless of the reasons, it remains a fact that Beryl cannot heal others without harming herself.

The arts of healing are a skill she learned out of necessity more than desire. Desire can be curbed, can be made to kneel before the pressures of duty. Necessity, on the other hand, dictates–no, demands–a swift and resolute response. Desperation guided her hand. There are wounds that cannot be healed by conventional and practical means and Beryl has always looked to salvation. It is only natural that she would learn such a skill in the midst of a battlefield, to save those that would sacrifice themselves for her cause. Had her learning been more formal and not given to her by the remnants of the Throne, perhaps she would have been able to avoid the unfortunate agony that keeps her from using this ability outside of necessity or desperation.

The parallels between her role as a knight and Saint and her desired role of being a healer may be why she is so seamlessly able to justify using her hands for violence as easily as they do for healing. Putting others before herself and serving the name of salvation have come naturally to her. Even if the opportunities for her to act as a healer tend to be rather limited. Even when there are opportunities to heal, there’s something terribly restrained about it, as if she cannot forget her own sharp edges even as she heals. She is aware that being a healer and being a hunter are not too different from each other. The blade of a scalpel can be used to mend, but like the edge of a sword, may be used to cleave life from another.

❝ i'll always protect you. ❞

❝ i never meant to get this close, but now that i have i can't let you go. ❞

❝ i live for the moments when you look at me. the rest of the time i'm just existing. ❞

❝ i don't like how you make me feel. but i like not being around you even less. ❞

❝ i wish you wouldn't look at me like that. when you look at me like that i...it makes me wanna do things i shouldn't ❞

❝ there's no line i wouldn't cross for you. don't you realize that? ❞

❝ i did this for you. no one else. ❞

❝ i don't like it, but i'll do it for you. ❞

❝ i wonder how much of myself i'll have to give to you—how much i have to lay bare—before you realize how much you're taking. ❞

❝ i'm not trying to fix you. i'm just trying to be your friend. ❞

❝ i'm not um, real good at thank yous. or sorry's. but if you ever need me, i'm there. i owe you one. ❞

❝ i've seen you at your worst and i'm still standing here. ❞

❝ you've seen me at my worst but you're still here... ❞

❝ you can be mad at me, i can take it. i'd rather you be angry than shut me out. ❞

❝ i'm not angry, i'm just scared. ❞

❝ i know you love me, but do you like me? ❞

❝ do you think i'm a good person? ❞

❝ do you think i care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference? of course i'm helping you. ❞

❝ tell me what i can do to show you how i love you. i will give you anything you ask for. ❞

❝ you don't have to keep apologizing. just be here. day in and day out and prove that you're gonna keep showing up. that's all you have to do. ❞

❝ i only sleep well when you're next to me. ❞

❝ i don't want an apology i just want to understand. ❞

❝ i could actually use a hug right now. ❞

❝ i want everyone else to go away, but you can stay. ❞

❝ i actually do care what you think about. you're probably one of the only people whose opinion matters to me. ❞

❝ you always seem to know what i need. ❞

❝ you always seem to know just what i need to hear. ❞

❝ i want you to call me when you need someone. i want to be here for you. ❞

❝ you're the one i wanna call when i need someone. ❞

❝ seems like i always want you around when everything feels all fucked up. guess that means something. ❞
