Hm.. I suppose no one ever said the God's were fair.
• mutters in a slightly bitter tone before shaking my head.
I think.. that would be nice. Actually leaving this place.. you know, growing up, a lot of people told me I would lose my gifts if I ever left?
It’s the nature of our world what can we do but make the most out of it.
*her lips tilt downwards into a frown*
Mm I see..well then, why don’t you explore? You can start with that? It’s manageable and can be done with your friend.
• furrows my brow, frowning slightly.
I knew I wasn't alone but.. it hurts to know others have to live the same way,
with such expectations.
• blinks a few times, having to think for a solid minute.
I.. I mean, I've never.. done much? I've always been, kind of, kept in the same spot, not given
much opportunity to do things. The only thing I do outside of helping is, sitting in the sanctuary..
*nods her head in a dejected manner followed by a soft soft*
It’s a life you and I were born into so..we must stick together for we relate and can offer comfort to one another
*once more nods but this time with a warm smile*
Yes, you must. What are some things you enjoy?
• pursing my lips before smiling faintly, I offer a small nod.
Ah.. so you understand a lot more than I initially assumed.
I'm not supposed to, it seems? I don't.. think, outside of Al and a couple others, I've even been asked how I feel.. Ive never even left Lyathrius beyond coming to this neutral point.. but, you're both correct and I should find.. something.
*she chuckles softly, a light airy sound as she laced her fingers together in front of her*
I am a priestess.. I serve my people and my god with my life.
*moves her gaze to the golden ringlet that adorned your wrist and hummed in understanding *
You still have emotions and needs do you not? I agree with your friend..you need a break and that can manifest however you need it to, whether that be taking less request or disappearing for an afternoon.
I can't tell if.. you're a mind reader or you've had the same, unfortunate scenarios.
• brings my hands up to rub my face as I straighten a bit before holding my arm up, gesturing to the golden ring inlaid in my wrist.
It is what I was born to do, no way out.. no compromise and I shouldn't be sitting here, complaining and crying over such a gift..
Hm.. I'm a healer, of sorts, the easiest way to word it and, I love my people.. but, I feel like its sounding like i don't.
• takes a deep breath before sighing out.
I feel like it should be as easy as you both make it sound but I've been going for so many years now.
Yep *frowns listening* lunie you need to take time to put yourself first. The people will understand. You've given so much of yourself to them you need a break fir yourself
*her smile saddened as she listened, the woes being all too familiar *
It seems as if people see you as a guiding light of some sort? Someone that’ll come to their aid; a provider almost but what are they gonna do when you are no more? Sometimes it’s ok to put you first or even ask for help. I’m not familiar with your position but I’m sure they will understand if you put you first.
• clicks my tongue softly before shaking my head.
I feel like.. it's hard to do so when everyone always needs something. I've never been beyond helping those who came to me.. but, it feels like I haven't had a moment without someone in my ear, someone touching me or my mind not trying to make things worse. I can't just.. say no.
*waves alittle at the blonde embracing the one I’m speaking to*
Taking things slow will help alleviate your worries and handling the controlables.
*offers a small sincere smile*
