Mari 1 Posted August 4 Author #21 Share Posted August 4 Call it an identity crisis, if you wish. Spend too much time wearing too many masks and you start to forget who you are, or which priorities matter most." "It must be hard for you." Mari said quietly - successfully managing to pat the strange little mimic who made a sound akin to a chirrup and a purr. "Freyd....Takeshi...Montjoy...It must get overwhelming." Mari chanced to pick up Reliq, who seemed to enjoy the attention as it rolled around in her arms, every so often its tongue would wipe at her - removing the wet sand from her skin. It was not a pleasant feeling. "some days...I can barely handle being Mari." She snorted as she looked up at him. "It's funny. You always told me you saw me as a beacon - but I think you've become just that. So many people rely on you. Need you. I've been there. Its overwhelming. I noticed it some time ago, and so...I worry. Because I know just how hard it can be." Mari stood now, still cradling his familiar in her arms. Her cerulean gaze shifted to the sun, it was beginning to set over the horizon. They'd spent all day doing this. "You're smart enough to know that I'm only able to answer that question to a point. I'm sorry for that." "I know." Mari said quietly as she rested her head on his shoulder. "And giving me that much is more than enough." There was a pause as she felt him brush sand away from her hair, shifting errant strands behind her ear. They all had their secrets, and their burdens. Freyd more so than others. She watched as the horizon shifted hues, from blue to pink, to orange. "Twilight is my favorite colour...sunsets are always nice." Mari said quietly as she placed Reliq back into Freyds arms. "Lets go fishing soon." Mari turned to him with a small, yet genuine smile of her own. "Maybe one day we can get you to smile for real, huh?" Astute, too much so for her own good sometimes - but ever burdened and blinded by emotion. That day was not today. "Thanks. Not just for today, but for everything. You're a good brother."
