[godspark]

i think so but to be honest i'm not a brilliant judge of that.

is there no one who drives you so crazy, but you're still into them, physically?

[rakta]

there is no one i dislike so, no. not in this place.

[godspark]

not dislike, then.
someone you disagree with. there must be someone, nobody's that agreeable.

[rakta]

i mislike those who named astarion as wolf.
and i mislike the man who killed my mother.

[godspark]

people were afraid. but still, he shouldn't have been named without evidence. i feel the same about the ones who named lexi

but i wouldn't fuck them. so far that's just dislike.

and the man who killed your mother. does he still live?

[rakta]

i would not either. that is an easy choice to make.

he does. i seek him, in time, when i am strong enough.

[godspark]

then you'll give him the end he deserves. i understand.

how old were you?

[rakta]

i will.

i was seventy.

[godspark]

[ ... ]

oh. of course, you're a shifter. how old are you now?

[rakta]

i was an elven fae first. i am now 153.

[godspark]

i have never heard of an elven fae. is that young?

[ she sounds young, he thinks, but he's like thirty. context seems important. ]

[rakta]

if there was a comparison to be made, i would be late teens, perhaps, in the year of a human.

[godspark]

[ yeah that tracks. ]

then you were a child when your mother was taken.

i hope you find this man.

what about your father, did you know him?

[rakta]

the mother who was killed adopted me. she had no husband of her own.

my trueborn parents cast me out, and i care not what they do.

[godspark]

they cast you out. why would they do that?

[rakta]

my soul was taken in bargain by the unseelie queen.

[godspark]

in bargain? but you were a child how could you make a bargain like that

[rakta]

[ ???? unfathomable questions for her ]

i sought one with her general, and in her anger she took it from him and me

[godspark]

you sought what with her general. a bargain?

[rakta]

yes. a bargain, for power.

[godspark]

magic? to shift, or something else?

[rakta]

magic, for strength. because i wished to be strong. i was druid already, before the bargain was made.

[godspark]

but you did not realise the cost

there is always a cost. i know of no unseelie queen, but she sounds much like the witches that i know too well. magic is never free.

[rakta]

i was prepared to bargain with kannoth. she stole my bargain from him.

[godspark]

did she give you what you asked for?
