Brynja watched the soldier leave and she wondered if it had been the first time he was so frightened for his life. Could it be that there were still people out there, untouched by war and violence? “My mind is clouded, by many things, but tonight I cannot even understand my own thoughts any longer. I decided to indulge in the celebrations for once, after all who knows if I will be alive the next time we have something to celebrate?” She chuckled again, stepping towards her… her friend. “I do not care about morals tonight. It seems quite like hybris to always act as if I know what is right. And yes, maybe the whine has gotten a little into my head, too.”
❛ what... exactly are we celebrating? allowing our enemies to waltz into our land wearing masks underneath those they already put on everyday? it sounds as if the royals have finally lost their minds... i’d like nothing more than to be bewildered, but alas... ❜ bruised knuckles curl around the edge of her wooden staff, lips chapped from the cold, she recoils, allowing for a white breath to cut past her silver tongue. ❛ i... have never seen such a collection of disguised people before. 'tis always so? do they truly relish in such celebrations? ❜ uttering those words in a silent undertone, wary yellow hues linger upon the other’s form for a solid minute before speaking once more. ❛ ah, yes i’ve... picked up on the scent. still, i do not understand the desire to willingly swallow poison that does nothing but encourage you to act foolishly... i've ingested many poisonous herbs before, ‘tis true, but solely for developing immunity against the same, and something tells me wine does not quite works this way. ❜
