Why can't we be friends? (D13 EM, Open)
Posted: Mon Sep 06, 2021 8:00 pm
The duelling test from the day before, and some of its results, frustration and outbursts had definitely kept the Sparrow thinking for the whole of the day - and it hadn't left his head when he woke up.
The thinly veiled violence and aggressiveness it showed in a number of cases not only was at odds with his experience and lessons with Yoshie-sensei... it also made his mind go back to some of the conversations he had in the last days. The apparent disputes over one - or some - of the participants, and how there was also some sort of violence hidden behind a thin façade there. And then... the threat of a war.
It wasn't a war that should affect him... Hopefully, at least. And if he were to stay with the Sparrow. Which was of course something that stressed him a fair bit.
But the thought of there being apparently no way to avoid that sort of fraternal violence, as his conversations with Mitsuki suggested... it hurt him. It hurt him badly.
It didn't even have anything directly to do with him, and he felt... weak for that. But it still hurt... especially now as he thought of the actual faces of the Lion and Unicorn he had met at the Miai.
To think they might be facing one another in a battlefield soon... to think of their blood covering the fields...
... it hurt. He kept trying to remember any story that might make him feel better about that... but it only hurt.
