[Grell is lying on her back in the grass, her flower near her, and her eyes shut as she sings. She's singing a bit low, but she seems entranced by the music.]

Be silent, be still
Don't make me chase you
I'll warn you, I will
Just to embrace you
I'll get my fill
So be silent, be still

Be hopeful, be brave
I only want you more
When you misbehave
I know I've said that before
It's your touch I crave
So be silent, be still

That song could either be amazingly sweet or horrifyingly dark, depending on context.

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

Let's hope for sweetness. Because I don't want anyone to be put off.

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

It depends on how metaphorical the persuit is.

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

I'd never force anyone into a relationship. It ruins the whole point.

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

That kind of chase I approve of. Sometime it's fun to know you're wanted.

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

I've read about people doing that...never got to try it.

[k0kka.livejournal.com]

Havin' a nice day, Grell?

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

A beautiful one. I've never loved the sun until now...

[k0kka.livejournal.com]

She deserves a little lovin', makes the plants grow and all that.

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

She does. Back home, though, everyone seems to be angry at her out of vanity.

[k0kka.livejournal.com]

Sure she doesn't bat an eyelash. Little old for vanity though, aren't we?

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

I definitely am, the ones I'm in charge of, not so much. They think tan skin is a sin or something.

[k0kka.livejournal.com]

Mortals. Fussy like babies, but they're cute from time to time.

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

Occasionally you'll find a good friend in one.

[k0kka.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it happens.



Don't know if I'm in the market, really.

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

....Are you alright?

[k0kka.livejournal.com]

Eh. It's just a phase, I'll get over it.

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

If you insist. Can't help but worry, though.

[k0kka.livejournal.com]

Thanks, baby. Don't worry your pretty head though.

[mnementomori]

[she she speaks, her already quiet voice is hushed further.]

So...everyone was right. Singing is special.

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

It can be, certainly.

[mnementomori]

It's just...everyone's been singing, and it makes the air full of....


...feelings.

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

Good ones?

[mnementomori]

Mostly. Someone else sounded lonely, but I think it was because they miss the person they care about.

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

Maybe they'll be brought their someone? The Queen seems capable.

[mnementomori]

...ah...you're right...! She did bring one of my friends back.

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's really really wonderful!

[mnementomori]

It is! Have you met her? Her name's Sora.

[she pauses.]

Oh--well, there are two girls named Sora here. The one I meant has red hair.

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

Yes, I've met that Miss Sora. She's a really sweet girl, you're lucky to have her as a friend.

[mnementomori]

[she nods emphatically.]

Both of them are my friends. I don't know what I'd do without them.

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

You won't have to do without them now.

[mnementomori]

Yeah.

Are your friends here?

[this is her favorite conversation topic besides ice cream.]

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

[Her smile falters a touch, but perks right back up.]

One of them is.

[mnementomori]

That's good, then. [she sounds genuinely happy.] I know the Queen doesn't always get things right the first time, but she's done a lot for me.

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

She tries, and that's what counts the most.

[mnementomori]

I think so, too. But it seems like a lot of people are mad at her...

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

They just wish she had asked permission, I think. Not all of us are upset with her.

[mnementomori]

I don't think she could've asked my permission, but...I guess that makes sense.

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

If she could have asked permission, what would your answer have been?

[mnementomori]

I--....

I probably would have...said no. But I didn't understand anything back then. I'm grateful now.

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

In the end, I do believe she has a good heart...she hasn't meant for any harm to come.

[mnementomori]

I think you're right. I just wish she'd listen to our advice more...

[falterderleere.livejournal.com]

With time, perhaps she will.
