Ragged breaths tore out of Lorelei as they shot up in bed. Iron filled their mouth — their tongue once again carved by their teeth — but the taste of oil and ash overrode any sense of pain in the physical body. Body trembling, they covered their face with their hands, hair falling as a curtain.
The hand on their back made them flinch even though the weight of it was familiar. Glancing through their curtain-hair, Senta’s eyes seemed to glitter in the low light of the candle. Swallowing thickly — tongue, oil, ash blood — it all was forced down to make way for words, “How loud?”
“Mmm, not too loud. The neighbors certainly didn’t hear anything.” The neighbors were not terribly close either, but the knowledge still helped Lorelei’s shoulders to slump in relief. Not fully though. So, Senta rubbed a small circle between their shoulder blade and at the base of their neck — even after so many lives had passed, she knew Lorelei too well. “I’m just a light sleeper is all.” It wasn’t a lie, she really was a light sleeper. But that wasn’t the point.
Lorelei’s shoulders slumped, tension slipping way into regret. Of course it was regret they felt second. They knew Senta too well, knew she stayed close by just in case, a remnant of her old life reflected in her new one. Closing their eyes, they focused on breathing as deeply as possible. Dimly, they were aware of the moment Senta took away her touch. They couldn’t blame her. Aiding a disgraced prophet with nightmares in an age where there was no use for one could hardly be worth her time.
“Oi. Get out of your head will you. I didn’t make this tea just for it to grow cold ‘cause you didn’t feel like snapping out of it.”
Hesitation. The pause before they lowered their hands, loosely brushing one side of their hair over their shoulder so that they could more easily meet Senta’s gaze. Two cups of tea were in her hands. There was no scorn, just a sense of tiredness — mental and physical — and one who’s patience was generally reserved for customers or plants. They didn’t need to do the song and dance of guilt and repentance, even if it was familiar.
Shuffling to make some more space, they took the tea carefully. “Thanks.” Out of all the words they’d ever spoken since the fall of Khaenri’ah, that one weighed down their tongue the most. Still, watching their…friend — they were still friends, Senta had said so before, but the gulf between them remained — sit beside them made something within Lorelei ease.
Silence reigned as they both focused on the tea. Lavender and honey, with just a dash of milk and mint. Lorelei’s taste hadn’t changed, not through all their lives. Even with gaps, Senta still remembered how they liked their tea. What could she not remember, thanks to Lorelei?
Inhaling sharply, Lorelei promptly ignored the way Senta’s gaze felt on them. Instead, they took a sip of tea, forcing the smooth, sweet flavor to push out the thoughts of guilts that threatened to overflow. Instead, their focused settled on the detailing of the teacups. “Did you…make these?”
“Mhmm. Made ‘em just a couple weeks ago.”
“They’re very pretty, and so smooth too.”
“Thanks.” The pause lingered, long enough for Lorelei to feel the hairs on the back of their neck start to raise from nervous energy. “A customer of mine thinks I should sell them, or use them at the bar. But…I don’t think I will. I like creating them for the sake of doing so, not to make money off of it.”
Huffing, Senta’s head thunked gently against the wall. “I just wish she wasn’t so persistent about it. It’s not like I don’t sell my pottery at all.”
“Maybe she’s forgotten that the pots your plants are in were made by you?” The snort and deadpan look their way made Lorelei laugh. “Ah, I see. One of those customers.”
“Yep.” Popping the ‘p’, Senta took a sip of her drink.
As always, Lorelei wouldn’t try to fill the silence. Not until they’d finished their tea, slipped off their bed, and held their hand out for Senta’s cup. “Would you like some more?”
As always, Senta passed her cup over with a nod. Lorelei wouldn’t make the same tea, used to calm them of their nightmares. Instead, the next cup was cinnamon and honey, with harra fruit syrup mixed in. A favorite of Senta’s since she’d woken up, and Lorelei’s most common way of showing their thanks without worrying over words getting too twisted in their mouth or warped by their cutting tongue.
They wouldn’t go back to their bedroom. Senta would always move out to their sitting room before the tea finished, and Lorelei always joined them. The sky was still dark, too dark for the sun to rise anytime soon. That wouldn’t stop Lorelei from offering to do Senta’s hair for her, or Senta offering to get them breakfast once the shops were open even though both of them could cook just fine.
The gulf was there, untouched and silent as they navigated around it. 500 years and Lorelei knew where they lacked certainty and courage, but at least they had this. Familiarity, even if it was cooler than they once had known, was better than scorn.

Coming to the realization that Ophelia's feelings on having kids are Complicated ✨
They like kids! They really do! But they also grew up in an abusive family, and they're terrified of perpetuating generational abuse. They absolutely do not want to hurt kids, much less their own, and so I think even just the mention of the topic of having kids would make them super anxious because they don't know what they'd be like as a parent and are terrified of being even remotely like their own.

what body part are you? || ren
Skin
Here is the largest organ, seemingly unimportant and forgotten in favour of larger meatier cuts of flesh, but it is living and breathing but wholly on the outside. You feel everything so much all the time. You wear everything on the outside, nothing about you is restrained or held back, authentic and truthful, even to a fault, even revealing all the ugly parts you can’t cover. The blows and injuries you take cannot be hidden, so be cautious. Always remember scars do not heal, they can only fade.

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐃 𝐎𝐅 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐓𝐇 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 ? | mylo
sun shining on your face
you're encouraging, brave in your kindness, and intentional about bringing healing to all those you love. your warmth is obvious, but commonly misunderstood. at first glance, people may take your positivity as naivety; it is the opposite. you have seen the cruelty of this world, and that's why you choose to be recklessly warm. you find comfort in nature and love random acts of kindness. you probably remember one specific stranger really well, even though you never saw them again. but they gave you a bit of warmth that you carry with you everywhere you go. i hope you know you are that stranger for others. the kindness you give out is helping others be kind in ways you may never see. i see you, and i'm proud of you. i hope you're proud of yourself too.

Who are you? || qiqi
tired.
whatever it is, you don't want it anymore. You want to lay down with the pain, you want the pain to leave you quietly as you sleep. As you rest. Fighting is hard, giving up is hard too. You feel like you can't do either. You don't know what you need, even this question feels overwhelming. The word need scares you, it ties you down. You crave liberty from necessity.

What flavor is your soul? || qiqi
rosemary
ah, the old soul, nice to meet again. the time of ages is etched into your bones, you see clearly. you've watched the heartache in this realm and sworn to solve it. but kindness without limits is self destruction. oh little leaf, strong and wise, you seek to bring peace with your presence. I'd be wrong to say you fail at this effort, but you mustn't set yourself on fire to keep others warm. you wish to please everyone, to protect them all. but if you shield the saplings from the sunlight they will never grow, and you one day will wither. protect yourself too. you know there are no happy heroes, so don't be one. be a friend. your loved ones will not forsake you for not being perseus slaying all their demons. you have your own monsters, why not meet them first before you conquer anyone else's nightmares. oh true-hearted paladin you are brave, and you are good enough. you know that right? be true to yourself, one cannot do anything saintly if they did not tend to their own wounds first.
