Eun's words always seemed open to her, honest somehow like her large bay window where'd she'd sit and peek through to watch the sun play tag with the clouds. They were never riddled with tedious run ons and long winded explanations.
Words, terrible woes they produced. Languid pillow talk full of empty promises, fire starting speeches, expressions of love. There was always of finding destroyers in diction, and artistry in syntax. A few choices phrases acted liked leashes made of metal chains wrapped 'round the necks of the population leading them on like common house pets. There were clouded pictures of moments in her head--memories from observations, perhaps--where they were misused. Those always ended in turmoil, turning over lives and households alike.
Terribly tedious. Actions would suffice for her.

Valuable or meaningless shat they are used is up to the person wielding them. But whether hammer or stone, of course, everything can be misused and skewed. Have sympathy, Eun, don't condemn the ignorant."
Hypocritical, to condemn them when they were alike in so many ways. They were foreigners in this world, aliens to be frank. A few centuries walking on uncertain feet could not undo the however many millennia they spent soaring in grace. So they were strangers, to everything but each other, in a world they'd only seen in flashes.
She would gladly swear to spend a lifetime at his side, as a push rather than a crutch, if it meant solace. And in turn, he would be her cradle, her guide, her wings.
In her allegiance, she gave him her trust.
