[WEEK 1, SUNDAY POST-EXECUTION: Jaffar and Nino]

[spinatalltale]

[she doesn't care]

[she!! doesn't!! care!! she's seen far worse than people losing eyes, and Nino voted for herself knowing full well the consequences of doing same. deep down, she feels a small bit of pride at the younger girl for following her heart with so much conviction, regardless of the consequences and regardless of what other people told her to do. and thus, since the loss of her eye was a product of her own actions, she shouldn't care]

[and she doesn't care]

[her lack of caring is why she seeks Nino (and Jaffar, actually) out once the horror of the execution has sunken in, and people are a little more level-headed]

[she nods at them both in greeting, but addresses Nino first]

Heya, kiddo. How are ya holding up?

Comments

[learnings]

[Jaffar may not be sure, but Nino is. This is love, plainly and simply--and so to Magilou's question, she nods quietly.]

Yes... I think so.

I think that's part of what it is, because... I owe Jaffar part of my life. Because I love him.

[She's worried about Magilou, a little...but she thinks...they can talk about that later.]

[spinatalltale]

[it's interesting. it's different. after observing and admiring so much hate, anger, and selfishness in Velvet and the rest of her traveling party (minus Eleanor, who was such a good person, deep down), it's very different]

[but not in a bad way]

Then I'd like to see how love can drive a person, for a change. [back to being the observational one, it seems] I suppose this means I'll be keeping an eye on you both.
