He looked the same as she remembered, though she could not recall what had first driven her to him. How had things begun between them? She no longer knew, could no longer associate the reason within madness to the madness of her reasoning. She only knew one thing: she had been lost then, and he had offered her a way out of the maze of her life. And she had slapped him across the face for deigning to be so kind. Somehow, she feared that kindness was still there. How he must have suffered for it.
“Yes,” she echoed. “It could be no other but you. You who have always been there, waiting and watching like a father would for his child.”
Though Child of Frost was certainly older than she, Megumi knew now just as she had then that there was no father-daughter relationship between they two.
When he spoke in reply to her words, the she-wolf could do nothing but listen. His words had no trace of mockery, no sense of disgust. It was that kindness again. That kindness he seemed not to realize but which had the capacity to turn her heart in upon itself. Perhaps she only knew it as kindness in comparison to the suffering she had since endured.
“You speak of the rose,” she replied faintly. “Arguable the most beautiful of blossoms, and the most vicious. You are correct in saying that there is no ability to love that flower but to love it through the pain. But for the chance to touch it...is it truly worth the bite experienced thereafter?
“All that I have ever done, Child of Frost...what I wouldn’t give to take it all back. To bite you as the rose does the finger and forever ward you away, to keep you safe from my selfishness, from my insanity, from my cruelty. You may have endured it as willingly as any soul might, but such does not mean that you should have had to do so. You deserved so much better, and still do. You still say you do not regret it...but I do. I regret so much that you should have come into my life and been hurt so badly. If I could change anything, I would have wished myself away before first you ever came to me.”
((Wow...a little...rambly XD))
