the more people you love
the weaker you are
the weaker you are
Romina has seen her mother in many facets, but never impassioned and energized and angry like this before. She comes because her mother's retreating back, armor draped across her shoulders in an unusable fashion, prompts her curiosity more than anything. As the Valkyrie calls the meeting with a haunting chorus of hellsong and electrical power, the doe trails her way down to meet those who wander forth first. She has no place at her mother's side, not during a meeting like this, where the rose maiden calls attention and demands obedience. Instead she keeps to the edges, skirts away from the multitude of strange faces bobbing in the crowd, and she looks for her brother.
The rest doesn't matter. It can come and go as it pleases, and her mother's words wash over her carelessly. Romina snorts unhappily to herself to see Johnny and Eldala returning to the fold, bitter and hateful of their useless souls stealing her beloved twin's position away from him. If the Basin is falling to shambles, why don't they promote those willing and capable of carrying the torch? It seems stupid to the young girl, who did not believe in the adage that age made you wise. No, logic and reasoning and watching those going before you crash and burn made you wise. Wisdom was not an account of years scratched onto a cavern wall, it was a measurement of how wide you could open your eyes to feast on the knowledge surrounding you.
Romina did not let these blasphemous thoughts fall from her lips. She was too loyal to her family to ever speak against her mother in such a public arena - an irony, considering her mother had done that very thing when she was but a child herself. Romina was not destined to walk in her mother's shoes, however, and so she sat and stewed in petty silence, unhappy that her talents were crushed by her lack of age.
If they didn't want to utilize her, they had no place in calling her away from her adventures to force her through these charades.
