But i don’t feel you pulling strings anymore RE: talk some sense to me, any - Lillibet - 11-25-2021 Lillibet She is surrounded, always, by magic. Her mother's, that speaks to the fauna of the world and grants wishes to those who seek her preternatural help. Her father's, that transforms him into an ivory beast capable of protecting their family better than any horse ever could. Her brother's, a mirror of their father's. Even Manny's - her magic flows intangibly, its invisible fingers capable of rending and ripping memories from the minds of her target. Lillibet, though... there is a bitterness that festers in her stomach whenever she remembers that her only magic is to glow. It does nothing for her, save for draw attention that she'd rather not possess. How could it be that her twin was birthed with the ability to change his body into that of a bear, but she can only glow like a large obsidian firefly? She's reminded of this bitterness when she happens upon the opal star-wielder who lingers at the river's edge in darkness. The stars she grasps so easily in the air around her illuminate their surroundings, and while Lillibet's own ethereal visage adds to the lumocity, it is only minimally. "They are beautiful," beautiful in that they are dangerous, she knows - she can feel the hum of their vibrations from here, knows full well that they would burn upon her skin. She wonders if the other girl is able to rend every star from the night sky, or if the effort would burn her alive. "Who are you?" she asks quietly. And why were you blessed with such a gift?

They move beyond Lillibet gracefully, captivating her amber gaze even after they have settled into position. A giant halo rings the two girls in the darkness, one of them very much in control and the other very much in awe. Lillibet forgets she has even asked a question, so distracted is she by the stranger's affinity, that it takes a few slow blinks and a massive effort for Lillibet to turn her gaze back to the opal girl at the sound of her voice. Liesma. She is unfamiliar with the name, though that comes as no surprise to the girl who has spent far too little time looking beyond her own little world. There is not much she is familiar with beyond Sylva and Loess, beyond her parents and Link. "Lillibet," she responds gently as her amber eyes move back to the steady glow of their star shield, a brief moment taken to enjoy the alliteration of Liesma and Lillibet. "How do you tame them, Liesma?" she asks, with envy blatant in her quiet voice. She has heard stories of the Mountain. Of the things that can be granted there. But she has also heard of the Dark God, and though she does not usually balk at danger, there is something in the weight of Carnage's name that draws her to reconsider whether or not she sould venture to the peak and ask the omnipotent for more than they had been willing to bless her with at birth. Would she be too greedy to ask, and would the consequence be a stripping of her ethereal glow? |
