Lotus blinked and stared blankly. Was she sealed away, or perhaps even fell into a deep sleep like he did? Losing that much time was never something he thought others would be familiar with. Stuck, unable to do anything… even when his loved one was right there in front of him.
“You lost three hundred years…? That sounds like – what happened to me… It was… a coma…”
Lotus held his hands together, eyeing the boat that the other had picked out.
“Do you really think sending that out will help… or is it just symbolic for you…?”
she’s surprised to hear that someone else could relate to losing a large amount of time. of course, there were several that were currently trapped in crystal in her dimension as she had been -- one being her husband. it’s somewhat hard to dance around the fact she was guilty of a crime and thus crystallised -- she doesn’t know how people outside of her situation would take that really.
❝ yes, well -- a bit over three hundred, though i was imprisoned in crystal. what happened with you, dear? if it isn’t too much to ask. ❞
the queen glances down at the boat in her hand when it’s brought up.
❝ i suppose it’s symbolic. the past is just that -- the past -- and so it cannot be changed easily. symbolism may help to move on from it. if i’m being honest, though, i think it will always hurt but we must deal with what we are given. ❞
