[ if things were easy, of course she would be quick to try to find the people here she could place her trust into, to find those she can rely on who would make her stay in this world more easier in the face of any trials which may dare to come. but trust can be such an easy betrayal and she isn't certain she has the heart for it, not anymore.
even now, she can feel the ache in her back where mordred had pierced the skin with his dagger. they both know it wouldn't have killed her, but it'd been enough for him to voice that his loyalty was devoted, not to her, but to her enemy β to her brother. with even his betrayal, why should she dare believe that anyone in this place wouldn't simply do the same eventually?
unfortunately, things may not go the way she would prefer them. she sighs, bringing her cup to her lips for a drink, swallowing a long sip. ]
Though, I suspect, we may have little choice in even that, with all they intend to keep us together. I just don't know that it's enough to simply sit around and chat as though we're all meant to inevitably be friends. Shared experiences can only go so far in forming alliances. Any one of us will jump at the chance to save our own skin when the opportunity arises. Why pretend otherwise?
