she laughs, and though there is no malice in it, the noise does feel a bit hollow even to her own ears.
“sometimes those words sound like a curse instead of a happy saying.”
People like to think war means something. (For Cy)
RICHARD SIKEN / WAR OF THE FOXES SENTENCE MEME —— accepting !
having spent their formative years isolated in the woods, there is so much about this world that cy doesn’t understand. social mores. arbitrary laws. least of all war. one of their pointed ears twitches, and as the woman speaks they fiddle idly with a few long blades of grass, weaving them into a loose braid.
it’s a pleasant day in the parchwood: the sky is blue and cloudless behind the canopy of trees above, their branches swaying with the breeze. earlier, the human had offered to show cybin her assortment of herbs, and the wood elf had nearly jumped at the prospect of potentially encountering something new. their chest vibrates with a low, contemplative hum in response, brows furrowing in thought. “ ... what do they think it means? ” they ask. there is a brief pause, and somewhere off in the distance a bird caws. when they speak again their head is shaking back and forth, “ to me, is just pointless death — the worst kind. ”
‘ serve your king. ’—he’d once believed in it himself ( perhaps, somewhere buried within layers of blood and filth he can’t wash off, there lies what remains a boy who still does ), and his parents to their death: even with the land he’d thought he was killing to protect beyond a sea, it echoes, resonates, just enough where he can’t bring himself to fault her. the desire to see the true rulers of the land seated again, especially those of your own lineage, he could understand on a level deeper than greed or pride. “ you did a bad thing for a good reason. ” the condemnation falls from his lips before he can stop it, brow furrows in regret—it’s been minutes since he’s looked anywhere but down, but he hopes the expression is visible to her all the same. “ i’m sorry, uh. i only meant—i can understand that. ”
there is no ivory tower beneath his feet to look down on her from—patriotism can be a dangerous motivator. and he’s here to learn the exact thing the words instilled in him since youth would judge her for. he is every bit as guilty as she is, if his old master was to be believed, perhaps more, if his parents. he has things to gain from this—with caution, he chooses again his words. “ my crimes are of a different colour, but same if not worse in kind, perhaps—i have no place to judge. ”
