@procceed said : ❛ you have more power than you know. ❜ (with my genocide/snowgrave version of Player)
but do i ever want to know it? do i carry the urge to harvest the power everyone says i have, and use it for my own whims and means? her brain rushes with things that rest on the tip of her frostbitten tongue, icicles spiking in her mouth. yet despite all this magic noelle has within her, despite the fact she could easily rid this soul of it's host, the reindeer sniffles. roll over for it, she thinks.
“yes, i ... know.” though she remains polite, she doesn't sound happy to play along. “but even if i have more than, um, i think ... it's still better to discover it over time, don't you agree?”
the girl feels as though the soul will be inclined to disagree, however she holds onto her naive hope that something will give. noelle is a clever thing, her mother and father always said so, and she believes what she's suggesting is very clever indeed. magic isn't easily controlled, and while kris ( and this rotten soul ) have a hold on her now ... it's still not out of the realm of possibility that she'll become uncontrollable. trying to discover every leaking pore she has will spell her ruination, of that she has no doubt.
and hasn't she fallen far enough? killed enough? if the wreckage piled at her hooves was only a fraction of what she can do, noelle is terrified of unlocking the rest. she has to persuade everyone to leave her be, to let her continuously use her old spells, if she's to stay controllable.
