🍁 + what is the first Misfortune that you can remember?
press(ed leaf) conference ** accepting
another deep-seated sigh expels from qrow's lungs, "see? that's where people get it wrong."
he slouches, rests his arms on his legs, "people think of Misfortune as specific bad things happenin'. which is a part of it, but it... there's part of it that's just the nature'a th' beast. they say some people live a charmed life. mine's cursed. my whole life. since before i can remember. everyone in it feels it, someway, somehow. it's not always... an event."
he considers the withering of the tribe until Raven took over on her own. he considers being the best team at beacon that turned out to be the worst examples of protecting what really mattered. he considers the 80 years of peace, lasting until his lifetime. he considers the fall of beacon happening while he held the role of the headmaster's left hand man. he considers domino effects and stars crossing instead of aligning, in a cosmic sense, in the lives he's crossed paths with.
his hands run through his hair, "it's not just my name, y'know. some cultures consider twins a bad omen." and as far as they know, qrow came out second.
(he considers whatever fate befell Raven's and his biological family...)
"so... bein' born, probably."
