Arisia

[lanternslight]

I'm not sure what to say about it.

She's alive again.

I'm alive again.

She has a ring again. The last time she had a ring, we were living together. And I was very much in love with her.

What changed? Certainly, Parallax's influence can't be discounted, but nor can it be the scapegoat I lay everything on. Parallax twisted my view; he didn't control me like a puppet on a string, not until later.

Carol is married now. She's not even part of the equation. Why am I even thinking of Carol? The rope showed me it's not fair to compare Arisia to Carol; they have been my two greatest loves, but both have been very different. And the man I was around each one was different, too.

I know I need to talk to her. At least to check on her.

She's getting set up at Warriors... I wish I could help her out.

I wish I could talk to her. Like we used to talk.

I need to talk to her, though. She deserves more than what I've given her so far.

To Warriors it is, then.

It's fitting, living here. Guy on the top floor and herself on the bottom. Arisia isn't entirely sure why but there is a sense of symmetry to the arrangement that appeals to her.

She and Guy went out shopping to buy all of these things for her apartment. She's not sure how she's going to repay him. How ever it will be she knows it won't be money. Guy would never hear of it. She'll probably bake him cookies or something. For months. If she can remember how to make cookies.

It's been a long time.

Everything in her bedroom is set up, managing to make it airy and light, even in the basement apartment. The kitchen is something she'll deal with later. With Warriors right above her, she's not too concerned about that.

Currently, she's sitting in her living room wrinkling her nose at the bookshelf she's putting together. It's not quite working out how she thinks it should. Yes, she could just put it together with her ring but... that's not the point, now, is it?
