Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hazel eyes rolled back up to the knight as his voice came again, and she watched him quietly until he admitted their blood relation and caused ginger brows to rise, startled. His son. Her senshi, her Fiyero, was the son of the knight she had tried so hard to destroy for years. It hit like a physical blow, the ball of a hammer between the eyes. How crazy, how utterly ironic.

"It doesn't bother you?" it seemed like it should have. Not just because of who she was, but what she was. What sort of future did they have?

Navi banished the question from her mind. She refused to think that far ahead, because she knew, deep down, that what they had couldn't last forever. Not as it was. There was no shared home for them to return to, no civilian life together. It would never-

She shook her head abruptly, and features pinched in raw emotion before she hid her face against her knees.

All those doubts. All the fears, and the dread, and every other awful, damning thought that crossed her mind weighed on her shoulders, and she was tired.

When she dreamed, sometimes it would be of another life. She'd wake up somewhere new, and he would be there lying beside her, and it would just feel right. He'd reach for her, even before his eyes would open, and draw her into his arms, smiling. That was what she wanted.

Her voice came muffled, heavy and helpless. "I don't know what to do."

"I would be lying if I said the thought had not crossed my mind, but we have an understanding." She didn't so much as hint that he should join her court, and he did the same. Though now? Now she was considering the latter herself.

When the hand came down on her shoulder she barely reacted, but that was better than jerking away, or worse, attacking. This peace between them had been hard won over the years. It still felt odd and uneasy, but she was finally willing to believe he had her best interests at heart.

Maybe because she was tied so intimately to his son.

His offer to help had a question building on her tongue, and she chewed on it for a handful of moments, debating on if she should ask. "I've heard that a senshi corrupted with chaos can be purified. Is that true?"
