His words were lost on her. Not because they were bad, but because she wasn't listening. Everything felt like a dream - his words drifted past her lightly and she could hear them, but not make sense of them. She had skills, but none would distract everyone, none would make her shine bright enough. He said he talked. He said he fought. She played with cards. She did pretty makeup.
But she would try anyway. She would try anything and everything and place her entirely into the position as Priskil's blessed, ready to protect those that needed protection, shine for those who needed light and save those who needed saving. Anything, anything he suggested. Anything she thought of too. She would try anything.
His next words were heavier than most, showing his strong sense of duty. She knew what he spoke of and found herself not listening, knowing the feelings much better than his words could ever convey. He had pride too, and she reached out, knowing she had that pride in her too. They both had to work past. "You can not help everywhere," she said softly, not sure how to phrase it, "Like you do not need help everywhere. But you can still help in some way, and get help in another." Her words were a mangled mess. What she was trying to say was that he could help her in all sorts of ways. That didn't mean that there weren't things that she could help him with. Unless he was a god and could do everything.
With a soft smile, mirroring his own. It was so full of emotion, and she rose slowly, knowing it was time to leave. He had helped her the best he could and now she needed to do something about it. "You have gave me more than nothing, she said softly as she lingered by the door, "Thank you." With that, she moved out, closing the door softly behind her. She was a little more steady now. Her path was a little more clear. And Alex took up a little more place in her mind.
