When was the moment you fell in love with Justice? (for Fareeha, Slyvannas, Elyssa)
The soldier’s brows knitted together in deep contemplation. Her arms are folded across her chest as she leans back against the counter, and there’s the faintest of blushes touching her cheeks. She’s... never really thought about love. Always devoted to her duty and serving justice as she sees fit, being the protector required giving nearly her whole self. There had been a little room for her to give anything to anyone else. Let alone be committed to a relationship. When she’s not on duty, she’s always having to look after herself. Take care of herself, so she can be healthy and fit to serve. However, the thought of Justice-- has FREQUENTLY crossed her mind as of lately. She isn’t exactly certain how and when it started. All she knew is... that she would grow more and more eager to see Justice, after every time they parted ways and returned to their respective lives for a short duration.
❝ I... I think the first time I truly realized I felt anything strongly towards her-- is after our first date. Even though we didn’t officially declare it as a date. Just one of our usual hang-outs, after she broke in the Overwatch Headquarters for a swim. ❞ A quiet chuckle and a shake of her head as she remembers the day fondly. But then the blush on her face darkened considerably as the vivid details of what happened later that evening repeated across her mind’s eye.
Love? The Banshee Queen actually... bristled at the thought at first. Just for a mere moment. Before she takes it into consideration. Handling emotions after entering the state of undeath, was where she lacked the capability. All she has known since the tragic day she fell in battle-- was rage and hatred. Justice, of course, is an exception aside from the Forsaken and the Sin’dorei. Sylvanas would be eternally grateful to the demon for releasing her from the infinite dark. She would not say it’s the precise moment where she... fell in love. Then again, she doesn’t exactly know what real love is. Back in the days, the closest thing she had to a real relationship was a regular fling with a female dragonhawk trainer. Then there was Nathanos... she admired him, but was she in love with him? As it was rumored among her people? Not exactly. She really didn’t have time for love.
❝ I cannot say that I know when. Let alone, if I truly do. I can say though, I admire her very much, and she does make me feel something... and that is more than enough for now. ❞
The Dark Ranger absolutely looks out of place among the other Rangers, with her warm smile spreading across her pale face. Then again, she isn’t like the other Dark Rangers. When Sylvanas Raised her... her soul wasn’t splintered. It was still whole, and the inferno that came with it continued to burn. Just a different kind of flame, but still hot enough to make her appear more alive and allowed her to retain the emotions she had in her former life. Including the undying love she found within Justice-- long before her death. The only difference is that a part of Sylvanas’ Banshee lurked within her, and would test it. Test her. Attempt to corrupt her and snuff that love out, because it repulsed the fragment of the Banshee. However, Elyssa’s love for Justice always prevailed in the end.
❝ It was when we first dated, and went to that special spot of ours. At the ancient ruins by the lava lake. I’ll admit, I couldn’t believe it at first... how strong the emotion was, it frightened me at first. Because it felt like my heart would explode if it kept pounding as it had by then. I still couldn’t believe that I had found true love, when we got married. But I knew it was meant to be and I wouldn’t trade it in for anything else in the universe. ❞
