âOh, Khadma...â Rosa says to herself softly, leaning forward with a worried look on her face. âYou should not beat yourself up like that. Especially not because of someone like English. Whether or not he is your Matesprit, he does not have the right to hurt you because of how you feel... It is your life, and I am not your Moirail, but I do believe you deserve better, even with all that you have done in your life... At the very least, the part of you that you allowed me to see, deserves better than what the part of you the public sees thinks she deserves...â
When it comes time to explain herself, it is the Dolorosaâs turn to be flustered, however, and her eloquence seems to come to a grinding halt all too soon.
âWell... I of course do not think of him as a toy. He is a living, thinking individual, and if you two are in a relationship, then obviously you would both need to be consenting, and up for it... I just... Well, for lack of a better phrase, I rather miss being a lusus... My own son is fully grown, and from his perspective, I have not been a part of his life for far longer than I was in it. We never really talk anymore, and I miss him. So, I stumbled upon some stories about lusus play between Trolls, and a few things rather appealed to me, and since I heard the commotion and some of what you said to him through the walls... I thought that... You two might be at least open to something as potentially awkward as another âmommyâ being a part of things for a night... I do not want to try and take him from you, nor do I want to be a part of what you two have... I just would like to try and explore something like that with someone I know I can trust not to judge me, or think less of me for wanting to be a bit nurturing, and also a bit domineering with someone who reminds me of my own son... Not that I think of my son like that at all, but it would be nice to see something to remind me of happier times for a bit... And there were other things, as well... Stuff that you mentioned during our last time together that I wanted to explore with you, one on one... I had a lot of fun, taking care of you the way you asked of me, and it feels nice to be needed by another. Even if it is just a casual thing, having someone who can trust me enough to bare such an exposed part of themselves, and feeling that fulfillment from taking care of another, making them happy....â
She trails off, face a furious shade of emerald, and her rainbow drinker glow at full force as she fiddles with the fabric of her dress. If her words made the Condesce feel put on the spot, hopefully she could at least take comfort in knowing that the Dolorosa was as embarrassed by their conversation as she was, if not more.
