Another resolute decision has been made, determined to follow through. What few belongings she possesses fit within a small pack. Leaving should be easy. She could slip away in the middle of the night, and who would know? That is the plan. That is what Galadriel thinks will happen. Until she hears Leliana's words break through the silence, and her body freezes in place. For all of her resolve, all of her stubbornness, a single sentence from her voice is enough to bring her to a halt.
ㅤㅤㅤ❝ You shouldn't be awake at this hour. ❞ No one should be. It's why she chose this time to slip away. This was supposed to be easy, but now the light steps of her feet suddenly have become laden with a weight too heavy to carry. Galadriel cannot bear to turn and face her, lips pursing as she stares straight ahead at the eluvian before her. ❝ Go back to bed, Leli, ❞ the elf pleads softly, though she knows she will not heed her. She should keep walking, she should just leave, but no matter how hard she tries, Galadriel cannot bring herself to take another step, not when she feels the other's presence draw nearer.
ㅤㅤㅤ❝ I don't belong here. Not in this time, not in this place. This is not the world I remember, and I no longer know where I fit. ❞ It's all changed too much. What little she has to cling to in her fractured memories is all gone; all of the faces, her people, all her friends, everything she once knew. This world is different, and strange, and unbelievably cruel. How is she supposed to fight it? How can she expect anyone to trust her, either, if she was part of the reason the world was broken in the first place? If she cannot remember the true extent of her own involvement? Galadriel's breath shudders as it leaves her, blue eyes brimmed with tears as at last she allows herself to turn and look at Leliana. ❝ I'm lost, Leli. You should just let me go. ❞
