[ Hermione breathes out, shaking her head. It's not really a matter of strength, is it? She's never been able to really come to terms with her own guilt and the problems she caused, no matter how hard she tried. She's never been able to forgive herself for it either, and she thinks of a lioness with blood on her maw and she thinks of the death of the people she loved, the loss of her friends, travelling in time, fighting and fighting and never feeling like enough...
Leaning back in her chair, she breathes out.
Sometimes, she thinks to herself, she forgets that she's barely into her twenties. She should be dead, probably, and it's mostly determination, knowledge and sheer luck that's kept her alive. Despite her youth, though, she feels old, ancient, somehow, and she doesn't quite know how to express it. ]
It's not the only thing you wanted to talk about, though, is it? [ Tilting her head up, she watches Ignis, attention set on him, unwavering despite her reluctance to admit her own strength or her lacking desire to eat. ] None of it will be particularly nice to hear about, but if you have more questions...
