"‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎so, where you're from‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎–‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎she swallows the discomfort of a question, the threat of intrusion or worse, walking through a welcomed door into companionship.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎it's too dangerous to make friends, she knows this, especially fellow witches.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎curiosity, as usual, allows that momentary nervousness to pass.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎do the people there‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎...‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎do they know you and your sister are, you know‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎–‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"

"‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎miss?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎her voice is kind, coated in honey and completely out of place.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎it is obvious she doesn't belong.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎i'm sorry to barge in on your space, this is‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎–‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎it's nice in here.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎i like it, yeah.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎um, sorry.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎i have a question, uh, for you, if you wouldn't mind giving me a minute of your time.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"

"‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎show me again.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎they're as focused as they can be‎, taking new magic as a kind gift ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎–‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎eyes staring down at the quick motions of the faerie's hands.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎i just have to see it twice and i swear i can do it.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"

ashlyn tends towards violence after her sister dies but it's not like a constant quiet rage, it's one in which she seems so hollow, with remnants of the girl she used to be, and when she snaps it's accompanied with tears, screams, and then complete shutdowns after. it's uncontrolled magic that overwhelms her, powered by grief.

#she's like ... someone you'd see out of the corner of your eye and whip your head around#not for a good nor bad reason but you're compelled to#she's naive but also a lot less so than she appears ... and she's okay with that#you can see want in her eyes like she's constantly somewhere else or thinking about all the things she craves#she's willing to do anything for anyone because she just wants to be needed#sometimes she's just .. not there#if kimberly's alive they're talking in their heads in a way ... emotionally#and if she's dead it's like ash is constantly searching for that familiar aura#nothing she says sounds quite right but you can't stop listening#she'll kill for you if she loves you and it will eat her alive but she'd do it again a nd again#she rarely blinks or blinks too much ... and is up at the crack of dawn every day#she walks barefoot anywhere with grass#even if it's inconvenient for herself#hm .... thinking about her a lot tonight#but bro ineed to be up in 6 hours

i think ashlyn is a little unnerving and i like that about her

*ೃ༄.ೃ࿐ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎@voil ,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎" dead people can't miss anything. "

"‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎you don't know that.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎they can't tell if they're saying that in earnest or in desperation:‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ it sits uncomfortably in her chest, that belief that they are more, that people are more than just living and breathing.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎and yet, does it matter which direction the truth is?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎if dead people can't miss anything, her parents can't miss her.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎to confront that truth would be to tear down years of holed up memories, confront the haunted house she grew up in.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎we don't know what happens when this all ends, right?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎we're just‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎...‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎you're just guessing, i'm just guessing.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎who is she trying to convince?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎him or herself?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎i just don't think we can say for sure right now, not until we die‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎...‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎i guess.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"
