Stand Not Afraid

Yeah, maybe if you lived in a castle with a stable family, you’d be able to have a positive outlook on things; but Nimue, whose witnessed some pretty traumatic events in her young life, ended up being a pessimist more times than not. Finding the silver lining in dark situations was nearly impossible; the dark situations she’s been apart of, had no silver linings. She was just a a product of a harsh environment; a victim to the desires of others. Resilience was a tough topic indeed, especially when Nimue was a participant.

A little sigh escapes her as Talyssa moves onto self-care. In truth, Nimue didn’t eat enough, get enough rest, or find much joy in life; she often wandered around brooding, attacking whoever, whenever. But perhaps that was her form of self-care. It was her way of taking control of situations; a natural response, for a girl who never had control of anything, until now.

Nodding her head, she’s dismissive of Talyssa, wanting her to wrap up this impromptu lesson on resilience. What did this princess know about it, truly? She could preach all she wanted, but until she knew true disparity, her words were empty.
