Two years?

You must have seen many people come and go, then.

[colorature]

i have yes
many people who i came to care about as well
it frankly terrifies me
that everyone i care about here will leave me
or worse
return here and forget me
i dont want to be alone again

[massrez]

I understand. It's always hard when someone important in your life is suddenly no longer there.

It just means we have to value the time we do have them for.

[colorature]

yeah youre right
i guess im just tired of it
its hard not to be bitter

[massrez]

You're right.

And it's alright to feel that way. Let it run its course. Trying to fight back that sadness only has a way of bottling it up until later, when it's more difficult to deal with.

[colorature]

yeah
im definitely not good at bottling things up
im kind of explosive
and dramatic
or so ive been told haha

[massrez]

My father was the same way.

I imagine there are many for whom that is the case.

[colorature]

what was he like
your father
i never really had one

[massrez]

He was a great man.

I miss him dearly.

[colorature]

oh
im glad to hear it
if you go back will you see him again

[massrez]

I'm afraid not.

He died, about a year ago now.

[colorature]

oh...
im sorry for your loss

[massrez]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

One good thing about being here is that it's given me time to reflect on things I might not have been able to otherwise. Time lessens some wounds, I feel, but only if they're given the chance to heal.

[colorature]

yeah time can help its true
not all the time
but it works most of the time
you said your father was a good father right
what made him a good father

[massrez]

[ Well that's not a complicated topic at all.

He settles for something safe, something mostly on the surface. There's more, but nothing he feels comfortable discussing with a relative stranger. ]

He did his best to protect me, but also to teach me about the world. He was brave, and honest, and tried to do what was right.

The people loved him, almost as much as I did. Many felt his loss keenly as well.

[colorature]

he sounds like a good man
you said the people loved him
was he in charge of others?

[massrez]

He was a king.

[colorature]

oh
does that mean youre a prince
or i guess you would be a king now?
im a chiropteran queen but ive never had a country to rule

[massrez]

You'd be right. I am a king, at least at home. Here, I'm not much different from any other Dominant.

Titles don't have much bearing here. I've come to rely more on my skills as a healer and a priest, in my time here.

[colorature]

im a submissive
yeah they dont
not that mine really mattered much back home either
how do you heal people
