...For all its faults and curses and miseries, the City really is a beautiful place, isn't it?

It's a lovely night for riding, I think.


[OOC: She's heading for the Fountain, specifically; yay, growing nostalgia. Action is fair game if you feel like encountering her!]

The City can be a welcome diversion under the right circumstances.

/holds the place

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It certainly has its moments. Even the curses; there have been some rather nice ones, too, amidst all the tedious ones.

[banditfox.livejournal.com]

You still miss home, though, don't you?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I do, quite a bit. Daventry isn't very much like the City at all, and...of course, I'm biased, since it's home.

[banditfox.livejournal.com]

Would you miss it as much if your family were here?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Well...no, not nearly as much. I'd still miss the castle, of course, and my favorite tree, and all the sights and sounds of home. But it's the people that really make a place a home, I think, and not so much the location.

[banditfox.livejournal.com]

I think most would agree with you.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

If it were just the location that mattered, it'd make choosing between them considerably easier, really.

[banditfox.livejournal.com]

Sometimes you don't realize how much the people matter until you try to leave them for another place.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Or until you're made to leave them.

[banditfox.livejournal.com]

I tried to leave home several years ago. I thought it would be better because I belonged in Makai. Thinking of my mother brought me back each time.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

...What if it were a choice between your mother and your friends?

[banditfox.livejournal.com]

Typically, a choice between the two involves a choice between preserving the world she knows and allowing it to be destroyed.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Well, when you put it that way, it's hardly a choice at all, is it?

[banditfox.livejournal.com]

It's no choice. I support my friends and leave my mother ignorant of where I am so that she will hopefully still have a world to live in.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It'd be nice if all choices were as straightforward as that one.

[banditfox.livejournal.com]

The yes or no of it is easy to answer. The complexities of how never are.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

If the chance to go home presented itself tomorrow, unexpectedly, and you had the choice to stay or to go...would you take it?

[banditfox.livejournal.com]

I would. Wouldn't you?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Of course I No Yes I couldn't

I'm really not sure, anymore. I think, in the end...when it really came down to it, I think I would. I think.

[banditfox.livejournal.com]

What would keep you here?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

All the people that need me. I'd feel horribly guilty, up and leaving them, since...well, I left everyone at home, too, but if time isn't moving there, then they're not missing me. If I leave here, that won't be the case.
