That Is My Truth

Lief

I swear, I feel like I post every interaction I have with @Gurashi to these forums, but they are all so good. Behold, the log where Lief finally gets to show off her altar to Gurashi as promised weeks ago!

Full log: That Is My Truth

Quietly, Gurashi, the Heart's Friend says to you, "I am happy for you, Miss Lief."

Earnestly, Gurashi, the Heart's Friend says to you, "You are re-awakening once more, and you get to be an Avatar of Your Lady, and, you found Mister Zitto, and, you have found so many many -friends-."

Harmonies rise and blend together, calling up colours of joy and sorrow that echo in your heart, singing unbroken.

With a warm smile, Gurashi, the Heart's Friend says to you, "Makes me really happy to see you flourishing like flowers that Lady paints, yes yes."

You have emoted: Lief nods her antlered head, still smiling as she turns the cookie in her hand. She looks up at Gurashi, tucks the cookie into the sash of her serene kimono robes bearing fruitful apple branches, then touches their arm. "I am growing," she agrees quietly, searching Gurashi's eyes. "And you are growing, too. Not with me, but differently, and this is good."

Hesitating for only a moment, you ask Gurashi, "Have you found strength, Gurashi?"

Gurashi blinks.

Furrowing their brow, Gurashi, the Heart's Friend says, "Strength?"

You have emoted: Lief nods her antlered head, studying Gurashi.

As Lief listens, her gaze falls to the fruit held in your hands. She smiles another quiet smile, one as unassuming as the delicate curve of a bluebell's stem. "Love is a scary thing," she says, and her musical voice rings strangely in the quiet of the realm, absent the choirs of before. She alights upon the edge of the altar of the Unbroken, perching there and gazing up at your face. "...My Lady teaches that our innermost Truths are ever-changing as we touch the world, and as we are touched by it. Our Truths change because we grow. I don't think this Truth you've told me is the same as the Truth you told me when we first met in your manse."

 You think to yourself: * a swirling recollection of the tae'dae priest, spoken to by the Courtesan - "you are who you choose to become" *.

 Softly, Unbroken Lief Myeras-Silvermoon says to you, "That is a good thing, I think."
