“ life brings pain , pain brings life ”
⚜ ; —– [ ᴠ ᴀ ʟ ᴏ ʀ ʜ ᴇ ᴀ ʀ ᴛ ] —– HAD BEEN WORN long before anybody else had been here -- had SEEN && DONE things many of this world did not know he had done in such a short period of his life. Was only NATURAL that he often steered clear of many. ( he was tired ! ) Could not WASH the blood on hands no matter how many good deeds had been done ( had saved own land from reign of terror ! had that been enough ? ). Only WISHED to be reunited with one that he had come to care about, but by the cruel twist of fate, the gods had said NO ( not yet ! ). Since coming here, it seemed to only WORSEN for him; that overwhelming feeling of guilt seemed to gnaw on him like dog to a bone.
—– ; SPOKEN words of the other resonated within. May have been WORLDS apart in experiences && in events, though the sentiments could not have been able to RING more true. Was MOVED by them -- well, enough to ACKNOWLEDGE the other by glancing over at the very least. Took only seconds for the Hylian to move over on the bench for the blond to sit if he so desired. Was the mess hall after all, he could havd sat anywhere he desired. Was not entirely sure, though, as to why anybody would APPROACH him to sit beside. Was never one for small talk after all ( or just talk in general ), but did not MIND the company for now.
you speak as if you know . . but do you ? do you REALLY know . . ?
—– ; STRUGGLED to find words for him ( the problem of different languages ), but did not wish to come of so ABBRASIVE this time. Should have been cold, standoffish! , towards him, but it was hard to do when he seemed to hit precise mark on him. UNSETTLED with fact that somebody had bypassed his walls to hit so hard && close to home. ( it was a mere comment ! ) Could only look DOWN at the sentiment. Expression was PAINED ----- sad even! Had SEEN so much / had DONE so much. Didn’t think pain was the best term for it. No, this was TORTURE. Dared not to look other in the eye as he finally spoke weakly.
