"Don't cry pardon for that," I breathed, when she apologized, "Tis not a bad thing to worry for those..." a pause, my words slide off but the mind is quick in scrambling for a suitable replacement, "for family." Gaze is steady and unflinching, though weaker than she'd likely remember. Aged. I feel a tug on my lips as Africa retells the burdens of leadership, commitment. How much has been sacrificed for the sake of power? Leadership wasn't a position for the faint of spirit, it ravaged resolve, and offered an unyielding demand to be a miracle for those who gazed upon their mounted glory in awe, or jealously.

"Aye," soft and openly understanding. I finally drop my gaze, "A weight that can bend and likely break the back of one who carries the ideals and dreams of many voices," there was nothing for her to be ashamed of in leaving a mantle. I'd feared for a small moment that Guacho had somehow pressured Africa to step away, but all indication of such notion was completely washed aside by her confirmation.

Trapped. Smothered. I instinctively thought to Silk, had he pressed beyond the rules of courtship? There isn't but a moment to think when my sister returns to the topic of death. I stiffen and frown, looking up with gaze half lidded and thoughtfully shifting to peer at some dark spot in a nearby wall...which is somehow very fascinating, "Nar...tis something worst. A darkness, the source of our previous troubles perhaps." How many seasons had we'd been treated to deal with plagues? From sickness to darkness. "Turn mind from worry," honeyed stare turns to regard her, "Those transgressions will come to light." @[Africa]
