BERRY 💜:
A DRAGON MUST BE RAISED BY DRAGONS , a wolf must be raised by wolves , a drow must be raised by drow. her friend’s words caught her , feeling the break with her ( may it be her heart or her stomach ). if sarrai was too look closely there would be no unseeing the hurt she felt in that moment. it was then the truth came to fall between them that they really didn’t know a lot about each other. drow society ; the shunned act of shadowed monster , worshipping spider queens and taking slaves. surely druid must have heard the stories —————- is that what she thought of berry all this time ? was there even a time to correct her in her assumption.
listening to her friend there is the idea that sarrai speaks of herself , a story mixed in those people whom wanted those three things. punished , that was what she gathered from all of that , sarrai was punished once upon a time for love. love was insult to her , a endless void she tiptoed around. taking in a deep breath berry hid all ideas of asking or trying to comfort .. being alone was a choice , one the drow fears.
“ ok , let’s forget about true love . but what of ——————— “ she takes a moment to think of the right word. “ friendly .. love , i love babita but i do not want to be with her . that type of love ? will you allow yourself to feel that ? “ over the small moments together berry had grown to love sarrai too , there would be very little things the drow would be to ensure sarrai’s happiness but if she were to deny the notion of platonic love … best to admit her fondness of the druid after.
There was confusion there ; a truth obfuscated by assumption ( likely by both parties ; Sarrai was always so quick to jump to conclusions ), spelled plain when Berry sought to probe closer as to the kinds of love she felt. Pale brows knitted together, first offended before gleaning understanding, and her expression softened. Had she thought her heartless ? That her whims were a ploy for a greater goal ? Once she might have been correct ------ but not anymore. The facade was easy, but breaking bread and slaying monsters earned Sarrai’s trust far quicker than she would have anticipated. How could she use her companions when she had bled for them ------ cried for them ? Dainty fingers reached for her wrist, curling over purple skin without hesitation or fear, and she gave her a smile. Rumours of slaves and spider queens meant little to her ; it was Berry’s actions that mattered, and they endeared her to one of her dearest friends.
❝ Of platonic love, I have much to share. I don’t hate you, Berry, gods. ❞ Two tisks accompanied her, the click of her tongue against the back of her teeth, and that hand would move to take the other’s hand. ❝ If you would like that reassurance, I love you. Make no mistake about that. But any further would be an accident. ❞
As if to assume love could ever be a choice. Bold of Sarrai to convince herself she would be the first to decide. ❝ Now, you can either cough up who has a crush on me or --- ❞ Poking her head up to see if the party was anywhere in sight, she confirmed their absence before continuing, ❝ --- you can tell me why you’re so tangled up with the idea of love. Pinky swear I won’t tell anyone ! ❞

BERRY 💜:
THERE IS LOVE BEHIND EVERYTHING ; behind every kiss , every swift movement to grasp their hand in yours , surely you must love the person who make your heart dance at the mere mention of their name. sarrai had shown so many connections to those around her , she must love one of them. the concept of love was simple to the untrained drow , if you enjoyed the company of another person after time it would only be natural to fall in love , and if they love you back .. the rest would be history. you share small moments them and only them , why would you place your lips upon someone you do not truly love ? sarrai’s reaction to such a simple , innocent question shook the girl in her core.
pretend you’re in love ; why would you cause such a pain to another. an arrow in an heart was a regular occurrence to the ranger , but to break someones heart was unthinkable , an unknown danger in the dark she did not wish to know it’s face. sarrai began her checklist to this charade ; batter eyelids, pretend an interest ——— press your breasts together? the drown couldn’t help but gaze her eyes down to her own figure, never had she moved her features from their natural state. sarrai spoke in riddles to her. raising her own warm mug to her lips the druid began her next wave of unexpected words. “ i refuse to believe you have never been in love , true love. ” she didn’t response to any of sarrai’s pokes to gossip , she would comment on that.
the word , love, ( every. single. time. ) stings her own heart like an arrow had found its way to her … over and over. she can’t help but think of him , the old him , the round cracks that made his coarse skin that she misses more than the huntress will ever admit. tephra – she thinks of. she thinks of the day love wasn’t enough , she thinks of the day she learned people you love can hurt you. she thinks of those she cried on ; if this was love she did not want it. “ ———— or that you never wish to be in love. ”
TRUE LOVE ------ ? If not for the fact she cared for Berry the druid would have snorted, and it was in that moment of watching her that she realised her friend was like an itty-bitty baby bird who’d not yet ridden the wind of complete, heart-shattering trauma. Or maybe she had ? Sarrai had not forgotten Tephra --- not the way her hands plucked life from the woods to feed another ; how Berry paced the floors so frantically below them, and how the magic taught to her felt like a metaphorical punch to the gut. She’d never asked about their history. Not for a lack of curiosity ( for that was ever abundant ), but an aversion to them learning about hers. Even so, it did not stop the corner tug of her lips.
❝ No, NEVER, ❞ she sounded so self assured, and the casual sip of cinnamon tea was accompanied without choking. ❝ Listen, I don’t claim to know the slightest about Drow society but, where I come from, people don’t give a fuck about love. They care about three things. ❞ She raised a hand, counting them off with her fingers. ❝ Money, power, prestige --- most commonly the first two --- and that is what they love. If you have that, they want it, and if you dare to love beyond it, you’re punished. ❞
Those who were in love claimed there was seldom a choice, but a DESIRE ? a wish ? ( NO --- NO, I DO NOT WISH TO LOVE. ) ❝ I don’t play with things I cannot control. If people are going to take advantage of me, I’m going to beat them to the punch. ❞ Better than a wife with a dead-eyed stare ; rotted soul before the body ; a slave to the mantra of DEATH DO US PART. ❝ Make no mistake --- I’m quite happy being alone. ❞
