EVE'S HEART

[aprettygirl]

A dark veil slips over you, obscuring your vision; it’s cool and clinging, and blocks out all outside sensation. You drift downward . . . as you do, you grow more and more aware of the pulse of your own heartbeat, until it’s a ringing, unpleasant throb in your ears.

. . . after some time, it’s interrupted by a soft splash, and you feel solid rock underfoot.

Up where the rest of the heart cannot reach?

Re: blood (starfields)

[aprettygirl]

She flinches.

Re: blood (starfields)

[decider]

[leans over her at the flinch, predatory]

Oh...?

Re: blood (starfields)

[aprettygirl]

"...you're toying with me."

Re: blood (starfields)

[decider]

I am. But I asked you two true questions. You're declining to answer. Pride again... is that one of your lofty dreams?

Re: blood (starfields)

[aprettygirl]

"The heart is grounded in body and reality! Is it not enough for anyone that it can still dream!?"

Re: blood (starfields)

[decider]

[makes another amused sound, subsiding from leaning over her slightly]

Someone else has come before me?

Re: blood (starfields)

[aprettygirl]

"They did not understand at all!"

The stars are shining brighter, all around you.

Re: blood (starfields)

[decider]

[still tilting oddly towards amused, goading her]

Understand what? You've said nothing useful to yourself so far.

Re: blood (starfields)

[aprettygirl]

"The concept of dreams to be yearned for! The idea that the impossible dream is fine to dream, along with the possible ones! The value of such a thing to such a heart...!"

She's wide awake now, shouting, furious.

[LAUGHING OPENLY, rearing up over her again]

You have fire yet, little girl. Take care that you don't burn yourself.

Re: blood (starfields)

[aprettygirl]

She takes a deep breath, somewhere between angry and embarrassed and surprised, her fists clenched at her sides; she's shaking a little, though not with fear of him.

Re: blood (starfields)

[decider]

[stares down at her almost indulgently for a moment— then freezes and swats her aside with a snarl]

Re: blood (starfields)

[aprettygirl]

She's . . . swatted off into the stars and darkness, somewhere, with a cry of surprise.
