Louise Glück, From Descending Figure; “Epithalamium”

Sweet vacation.

She has been just wandering around the new areas, the construction sites, watching those tall buildings rising up again in Iacon. Since when she had so much time in her hands? She is also thinking about a travel soon - to a place she once knew, still mostly undeveloped after war.

[twcwheeler]

Still convinced that if she was any bigger or grew with perks for fights, she would be danger to society.

It takes courage to love her

One of my wishes is to see Cee having her adopted family of a unruly youngsters she looks after.

Mama Cee is the rock to rely on when one gets in trouble. Extremely loyal to family, protective - but will scold later and hope the lesson is learned.

Also lots of mundane affection.

Cee avoids swimming and especially salt water like a cat.

She has many questions but does she actually want an answer?

" The more I look at you... I wouldn't let you in at gala BEFORE we practice some manners."

Okay but an idea! her saving someone from destruction, and caring for their wounds just because she is so salty she wants to let them to be still alive to know how bitter she is at them :'D and potentially leads to better outcomes.

She looks at her digits. Perfect to slide between narrow seams for tearing plates apart. Just like her ancestors must have developed such shape of digits. But the lack of sharpness and strength... the dull tips lack the ability to grasp, and her capacity of arm power has always been less than average.

She has tried to open the packet for quite a while - tiny scratches now decorate it.

Still, it's way too embarrassing to admit she forgot the code for the lock.

" I suppose I want to be the hero I needed the most myself. Assure there is nothing to be afraid of... perhaps the only one I betrayed was I, myself. " Digits close into fist, it's the closest she has been truthful to anyone about her inner struggles.

" I am terribly afraid, Ratchet. Losing control... It's terrifying to realize that despite how much I want or try, I cannot... "

"I couldn't keep my family safe... when the whole city was blasted off the map. I couldn't keep my partners safe, despite promising I would keep their back. Sometimes I fear, if I can ever make that promise again. I have only disappointed myself... and more than that, I hate to feel that pain of losing those I care the most. I'll go insane if I have to go through it again. "

Just like before on my longer breaks - I may keep the longest going threads up and look forward making new threads - not sure how many at time. May have to try and cut my writing length because I seem to loose track easily. I am also slow af at times so thanks for understanding :')

Let me know if you are interested to start / continue, longer stories? We can always do short interactions if it's more your thing.

Well, she is pretty confident now. She is free. Time is hers now.

The list has become shorter, but there are still tasks to do. She should be on schedule - but rather she would actually take time and relax.

Funny, how she would have found such advice ridiculous: rest? like do nothing? why? something for me? How many millions of years did she spend working so hard?

But she has things now she would love to do.
