:raises an eyebrow at him: Oh, \/I\u2019m\/ tragic? Don\u2019t be absurd. But yes. If I \u2026 take in too much, it hurts. Convulsions, actually, not fire. You :looks away: your heart screams pain like it\u2019s the only thing you\u2019ve ever known.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

:eyes flicker downward: Please, don\u2019t\u2026:sigh:<\/p>\n

I only mean that\u2026to be cursed to carry the weight of others\u2019\u00a0sentiment<\/em> must be quite a burden. \u00a0I cannot imagine how you can stand it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You did ask. Don\u2019t ask if you don\u2019t want the answer. :looks at him, hard-eyed: I\u2019m your opposite in some ways, god of lies, born of ice. I\u2019m the daughter of the fire, and I always speak truth.<\/p>\n

Emotions don\u2019t scare me. I\u2019ve seen them all, I\u2019ve tasted them all. It only hurts when I try to deny them.<\/p>\n

:looks away, drinks again, speaking softly: Is that what this is about, then? You have a \u2026 sentiment you need carried?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

:scoffs: I have no sentiment. \u00a0I am heavy with too many thoughts and not enough to do with them, I suppose. \u00a0Heavy with memory\u2026expectation\u2026I know not what.<\/p>\n

Aren\u2019t you supposed to tell me? :smiles weakly, takes another drink: You must have exquisite sentiment of your own then?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Oh, aye, I can tell you your … sentiments. But not always why, or what you would do with them. :swirls the wine in the glass: And yes, I feel, strongly. Overwhelmingly, sometimes. I can understand a desire to stop thinking.<\/p>\n

But I would not be without it. :takes a clip out of her hair and starts to play with the river of it as it comes down over her shoulders: Just like my hair, it’s so much a part of my self-identity that to lose it would be to lose myself.<\/p>\n

They tried, once. I had rather burn, suffer, for a thousand years than not feel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
