[crystallinelore]

[... softly, stepping forward.]

May I ask who you are?

[crystalbody]

[very nearly rocks backward in surprise, but long years of practice and harsher realities have him staying steady and still on his feet. and really, this request isn't a total surprise

but time changes people in some ways, so he inclines his head and very solemnly:]

You may ask.

[crystallinelore]

[That gets an amused huff, a quirk of a smile.]

It sounds as though my question wouldn't be answered. But what reason have you to hide from me?

[crystalbody]

[he drops his head a bare inch or two with a soft huff of a laugh. it's almost familiar, so close, and yet...]

[he lifts his head, face still hidden by the hood]

I would not... do not wish to burden you with such things.

[crystallinelore]

If you are anything like me...

[pauses]

No, you must be, to be like this. Then... You must also feel that you must do everything that is in your power by yourself. To shoulder every burden alone.

[crystalbody]

[there's the slightest tilt to his head to acknowledge that]

Not all burdens are such. [of that he can admit] But in this, yes.

[crystallinelore]

But you needn't.

[crystalbody]

[long silence. one could even think it was a considering one. but]

As per our conversation before, would you prefer a room here in the Tower?
