“I never know what to make of people anymore.” She starts, gently pulling yellowed and dried leaves from the fern she’s been tending to. “I had always grown up and been taught that your community was everything. We were all meant to be family. And then I was introduced to the so-called civilized world and...” Her head shakes, looking less upset about the cruelty of mankind and more sorrowful. “It just seems a shame that progress brought out the worst in people.”

Once the fern was properly pruned, she smiled, letting her eyes close and her hands hover above it— there’s a slight crackle and pop from her fingers, sparks flying before the fern leaves rise up, growing nearly twice their original height. “...I think the plants have the right idea. Easy living. Refusing to speak. Refusing to be at war. Very peaceful, don’t you think?”

@amouriscae​​ said:  ‘ because i feel lousy and being mean to you makes me feel better. ’

“Glad I can help.” He brings his drink up to his lips, the rim of the glass hiding the amused twitch of his lips. By the time it finds the table again, he’s back to his usual brooding, stoic, and unreadable demeanor. 

He’s used to being the one dishing out the sarcasm and teasing, though being on the receiving end is nothing new for him either. He takes it in stride, dishing it back just as quickly. Something in her statement stays ringing in his ears. 

“Why are you feeling lousy, though? My sunny disposition hasn’t brightened your day yet?” Sarcasm dripped from the words, but he finally allowed himself to break, a smile etching itself onto his features.
