“Losing those I care about.” Destiney answers softly as she looks away. “I know it is always a possibility. All I can do is keep trying to prevent it from happening. Yet at the same time I can not hold too tightly to those I care about for fear of driving them away as well. But it drives me, the risk of losing them every time we leave on a mission. It drives me to try harder. I would rather give my own life then to lose someone I care about.”
“Just the natural answer. Death of course. I have few other things to truly fear. Anything else by comparison is… Minor.” Stefan waves a hand dismissively. “There is still much left in life I wish to see or attempt to accomplish. To fall to death’s cold grasp too soon is my biggest fear.”
“It would honestly depend upon the fairytale. I do like some of them. However I am not particularly a fan of those where the woman is portrayed as needing to be rescued. They usually portray the woman as weaker and that she needs the man to save her from bad things. A damsel in distress.” Destiney scoffs and crosses her arms at the thought. “I’ve read more then enough of such stories and I dislike them. Not to say I am against a fairytale where the couple still ends up happily ever after. I will admit I like a bit of a romantic aspect in a fairytale.”
“No. Fairytales only sometimes contain a portion of truth to them. I would rather skip such fanciful stories for something a bit more interesting. Life is no fairytale. One will not simply find a happily ever after. We all make our own paths in life. Do not expect happiness to find or save you.”
“Craziest thing? Well depends on a person’s definition of crazy. To me something may seem mundane while to someone else it may seem crazy.” He pushes his glasses up his nose as his ruby carbuncle sits curled up at his feet. “I would have to say exploring ruins alone. There are plenty of dangers out there in searching ruins. However my ruby friend and I have managed well enough thus far.” He reaches down to gently pet the head of the carbuncle.
“Other then that some may even consider my running away from home at fifteen and surviving on my own to be crazy. However that is quite the story and I do not feel like sharing that at this time.”
(Thanks for asking @kyrelldreams & @kibuto. Both of you asked for the seashell one lol. An since you popped an ask I’m doing something special for you, Kyrell. Going to include Karigan for you in honor of our RP. 😀 Though I still need to finish her background. Not happy with what I did put up on the profile the other night.)
“I find the sound of rain to be soothing. No voices, no movement. Just the sound of the rain falling upon a roof or the trees. Or even the sound of a waterfall. The waves crashing. So pretty much just the sound of water in general.” A soft smile as she closes her eyes, thinking of one of those things she had just answered with.
She finally opens her eyes an tilts her head as she thinks upon the second question. “There are a lot of things I could wish for. An thinking about… If I wished for them an they came true I might be a different person today because of it. So in a way…” A tapping of her fingers against her desk. “I guess I would have to wish for the happiness and safety of those I love right now. Because as much as my past has hurt an broken me before… I’m glad I’ve ended up where I am right now. I’m glad to be with the people I can call my family. Even if a certain member… Is not particularly my favorite right now.”
“A soothing sound…” He puts a crooked finger up to his lips in thought on the question. It takes him a few moments before finally looking up again. “Music. Soft gentle music. Whether it be from an instrument or someone singing. Is not the saying music soothes the savage beast?” He laughs richly before waving his had as if to dismiss his own attempt at a joke. “Not that I am some savage beast mind you. But it does soothe this warrior’s heart.”
“As for one wish… That is difficult at best. There are many things I would like to wish for. Especially now. I guess… The best wish I could make would be to wish Haillenarte to be restored. It would mean less pain and suffering for the children of Haillenarte. I have so much respect for them an I hate to see them suffer for the fall of the Vigils. I wish I could ease their burdens.”
“My favorite sound that I find soothing is the wind. Howling or gentle. Because sometimes those howling winds mean a storm. I love storms but I also love to just enjoy a gentle breeze blowing through the trees and grasses. So definitely wind.” She says with a firm nod as she grins like a child with a prize.
“As for one wish… That’s a secret!” She holds up a finger an wiggles it back an forth like scolding someone. She laughs lightly before shrugging. “Well okay maybe it is not much of a secret. I wish to be a respected mercenary. I want to make a name for myself an earn respect. It’s a simple wish.”
