Ghost Behind My Eyes

Azure laid it all out clear for her and there was no denying that she was acting selfishly. Her lips twisted down into a tight frown as she averted her gaze to the distant horizon, to the shimmering waves that rippled like strands of jewels. She hated how entangled everything was, how one seemingly simple action created a ripple that disturbed the whole surface of her life. She longed for everything to be easy, almost thoughtless, with someone who would hold her best interests close to heart as they steered her reins. But that wasn't exactly fair, was it? Sparrow wasn't the sort who'd control her like that, she was as free as they came and Azure... Well he didn't seem keen on the new path she wanted to take, particularly so because Hanako had no idea where it would take her.

"I mean...I haven't really said or done anything about it yet." Which was a bad move, she knew and Azure knew it. Sirius would not be happy and so she figured it might just be easier to fade away, to blend into a new crowd without having to explain a thing.

He continued and the words he uttered weighed heavy on her. He'd slain her slavers? But why? She felt no sense of loss or mourning as she took the information in, if anything when she turned to look at him again she felt...almost flattered? He'd killed for her and she very much liked the thought of that, as shallow and selfish as it was. There was no denying the truth of his words, he had done so much and had every right to feel frustrated. The reasonable, logical part of her understood his stance and wanted to just concede and fall back into old habits, old rhythms. But they were being real with one another, baring it all like they should have a long time ago.

"And I want you, you know that." She huffed, her cheeks flushing a little pink despite the chasteness of it all. Oh, the scandal of being honest! "But you pushed me away, never did anything about it. What was I supposed to do? Just pine and wait for you to come to your senses?"
