You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why



"The words in my head...I cannot translate them to you, in their magnitude. I wish I could, to help you understand why I cannot forgive such horrors. Probeer te begrijpen."

"Likewise, I wish I could help you understand why i chose to forgive them." Evangeline murmured. "I cannot lie and say that I've never done anything that might have hurt someone. No one is perfect and I won't pretend to be. I've made my fair share of mistakes and I only hope that the ones I wronged will be as forgiving of me as I am of them." Life was far too short to dwell on the injustices of the world. It was much easier to forgive than to go on carrying a grudge that could possibly be passed on to younger generations. "If I hurt you would you forgive me?" She voice the question even as realization dawned on her that he wanted to leave their current conversation behind along with all of its unpleasantness. And so she decided that she would try her best not to press on after Kaj answered her question, if he even chose to.

"Your passion and willingness are included among your strengths, mijn leliemeisje."

A shiver rippled down her spine as he spoke in his native language and the orange mare found her gaze locked on his face. His compliment was lost on her as she focused on the words he had spoken after. "Mijn leliemeisje." She hoped she hadn't butchered the words too badly as she stumbled over them. "What does that mean?" 'Great powerful lizard.' Tallis piped up rather suddenly causing Evangeline to roll her eyes and glance at him. "He was talking to me, not you Tallis." The orange dragon trilled loudly as his bonded looked back to her King, ears tilting forward as he voiced another question.

"Probably marching to war." Eva answered half teasing and half serious. For as gentle as he could be he still had the heart and soul of a warriorm which was not a bad thing. He was selfless. His people were his utmost priority and she felt that if anyone wronged them he would go out of his way to seek justice. She feared that his sense of duty and justice along with his inability to forgive would be his and his herd's downfall.

"Tell me, mijn leliemeisje, what do you like to do when you are...blue? What makes you happy?"

Kaj's question was unexpected and caught Evangeline off guard. It had been a long time since she'd done anything that made her happy. When was the last time she'd even been happy? 'Uske.' Tallis answered and Eva had to agree. The day she had found Ruske had been the most recent day she'd been happy. "When I lived in Isilme I used to pick apples for the Tome Guardian ... a grumpy old geezer that lived in a castle. He never left it so I brought him apples and that made me happy." It was probably really silly that something like that could make her happy, but it did. She even found at times that she missed the grumpy old geezer, and it wasn't because he had the ability to grant magic to mortals, she'd never even gone to him seeking magic. She'd liked him as an individual, felt sympathy that he had been used so often by others for their own gain. Some mental prodding, courtesy of Tallis, drew Eva out of her thoughts and she smiled. "And Tallis. Tallis makes me happy. What makes you happy?"
