[Whatever locks the Geardorm has on its main doors have now been very securely locked. And then re-locked, just to be sure.

A cranky tiny is scrutinizing them as if he's seriously considering adding more.]

Just...don't wander too far when you're alone? At least for a while...

Ahh . . . I really don't think I want to go anywhere alone for the next month. Maybe more.

Good. Someone will always be willing to go with you.

...You're sure you're okay? If there's anything...

. . . I wasn't alone. So even the times it was scary . . .

If I can have dinner and sleep on something that's not the ground, I think . . . that's enough. And maybe a bath tomorrow, if one of the bath houses is free.

...she's that much of a comfort to you...

[identity profile] roadtothesky.insanejournal.com 2011-10-11 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Ahh, it's just . . . she isn't really good in the dark either . . .

[Hff...what to even make of that...]

I see.

Reflections are created when light bounces off of a smooth surface. Without light, nothing reflects.

In other words, she's afraid of being powerless.

Isn't everyone?

I can't hear right when the night comes. Nothing echoes, and all the sounds are wrong . . . like the earth is moving, like the dark is swallowing everything. More than losing my way . . . that scared me more than anything.

[identity profile] overclocking.insanejournal.com 2011-10-11 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
...not always.

With the way you were that night the earth moved... I can imagine. I'm sorry.

[identity profile] roadtothesky.insanejournal.com 2011-10-11 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay. It's just . . . to me, that's the same as Mirror's quiet. Especially when this is the only night she's ever known.

There's a lot of things you can judge her for. But that . . . I don't think it's right if that's one of them.

[identity profile] overclocking.insanejournal.com 2011-10-11 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
It's not that. It's more like...surprise.

[identity profile] overclocking.insanejournal.com 2011-10-11 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Emotions like that...they're not something I've been led to expect from them.

[identity profile] roadtothesky.insanejournal.com 2011-10-11 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'd be surprised if it was Foreman. But Mirror . . .

Has Tide ever thought about what it would be like? To be born here, underground.

...not really. But I imagine there wouldn't be anything to compare to.
