was reading through some of my books of pablo neruda poetry this morning for both enjoyment and inspiration and i think i found a poem that perfectly encapsulates the dynamic i want to achieve with reinald and nasrin specifically reinalds feelings towards narsin !!!!!
a few lines specifically that make me ache -
My struggle is harsh and I come back with eyes tired at times from having seen the unchanging earth, but when your laughter enters it rises to the sky seeking me and it opens for me all the doors of life.
im gnawing on MY ARM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the first part of this section so perfectly reflects the path of a witcher its actually insane to meeeeeeeeee and a major thing i want to center the story around is the comfort that someone gentle can provide to someone who has seen so much harshness in the world. a story about gentleness and unconditional love and support and seeking that kind of comfort in her laughter i WILL EXPLODE INTO A MILLION BILLION PIECES
(also i realize that this is very skewed to what reinald thinks of nasrin and what nasrin provides him but there will be more on the other side of that relationship later i prommy)
