𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐎𝐑 : ‘ would things be easier if there was a right way? ‘
a smirk lifts heavy features set in stone , a gesture so subtle one could miss it should they not know her as he did . the warrior of light - a mortal so powerful that it seemed almost wasted on a creature so frail . “ are the choices you make ever easy ? ” she questions , eyebrows raised to him . ah , morality , a burden she has almost forgotten in her years . not quite , lest she succumb to her very nature , but enough for her ego to find such matters amusing . half gloved hand places upon the warrior’s chin , his battle weary appearance befitting of someone without care for themselves or the appearance they choose to take . thumb traces over stubble and she smirks , lavender eyes stealing his gaze .
“ anyone could argue that you already do the right thing -- right by your friends , right by eorzea , right in the eyes of every person you’ve ever saved . isn’t that the right way ?
“ or have your travels shown you otherwise ? have you done wrong in your pursuit of... well , whatever it is you choose to pursue ? ” arms fold once more , amused gaze replaced with one of concern . everything she had done as a scion , as an adventurer , had been in order to feel as close to mortal as she could possibly be . a hunter among the hunted , a wolf among sheep so desperate to shed her teeth in favour of fleece . but her hero , the star’s hero , she had never once questioned their motives along the way .
“ in order to follow the right path , you have to ask yourself : is what i’m fighting for the right reason to fight ? ”
