Nilia Saavilin
Godless
The Outer Rim, Bastion, Harper's Respite, Personal Chambers, Morning
Queen Of Hearts | Interacting with [member="Arekk"], [member="Darth Maliphant"] ~ Good Mourning ~ "All I know is a hopeless place that flows with the blood of my kin."
——————————————————————
Ultimatums were terrible, weren't they?
Nilia was caught between two saviours. Order, chaos. Black, white. Angels, demons. Ar'ekk was scared, but she felt alive, and she speculated that Maliphant could understand that. Sympathize, even.
"Ar'ekk," She started softly, shifting to face him-- Notably, the same motion seemed to push her a little closer to Maliphant, instead of to him like he might have desired --with eyes that seemed pleading for understanding, "I'm alright here. There's nothing happening here that shouldn't have happened already."
"Maliphant gave me a home, Ar'ekk."
Eadu was gone. The Jate'kara a stand-in. Harper's Respite felt cold, but in time it could grow warm with her fire. This, she saw now, was the Force's way of putting her at a nexus, a crossroads. Ar'ekk, representing her past. The Sovereignty, it's majesty, the stoicism of the Sovereign who hadn't designed to inform his best diplomat of her own nascent talents. Tiamat was her future. This, all of this, was her future.
That had been set in stone aeons ago. That, she was sure of.
"I... Can't go with you." Even then, heartbreak coloured her voice.
