A QUESTION FOR A QUESTION


YOU MAY KNOW EACH OTHER ALREADY - OR YOU MAY NOT. UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, YOU'RE NOW PASSING THE TIME ASKING EACH OTHER QUESTIONS. IT'S A GAME! A QUESTION FOR A QUESTION. YOU START OFF ASKING YOUR OPPONENT A QUESTION OF CHOICE AND IF THEY ANSWER IT, THEY'RE ALLOWED TO ASK YOU A QUESTION IN TURN. THE RULES ARE SIMPLE, ONLY AS LONG AS YOU ANSWER THE OTHER PERSON'S QUESTIONS ARE YOU ALLOWED TO ASK QUESTIONS YOURSELF, BUT THERE IS NO EXPECTATION OF TRUTHFULNESS HERE, LIE IF YOU MUST OR WANT, JUST KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING.

How to play -
1. Comment with your character's name, fandom and preference.
2. If you want, leave a question in the comment field that your character is asking their opponent. Or don't. I'm not the cops.
3. Pick other characters to question and have fun!

the way I ran over here

I think I would do much of the same. [And then... a pause, as she thinks.] I regret many things-- not leaving with my brother, trusting the wrong man as my father did. As much as I want to believe that I was smarter, looking back... nothing could truly protect me from what was going to happen.

And you?

It's easy to overlook teeth with faced with the familiar. Had you all the knowledge you do now, no doubt it would have been foolish for you not to act on it. You didn't, however. I understand it's easy enough to hold it against yourself.

Fear dictated too many of my actions. I regret that most.

Do you think it better to hold onto these things, or to let them go?

[ooc: we've never written together before, but you write Fenris amazingly tbh.]

If I'd had even the smallest suspicion, I know that my father would've listened. He always took me seriously, always listened. [Her parents had loved her, and she carries that wherever she goes.] But I suppose I should at least try to be kinder to myself. The young girl that I used to be.

[A small nod in understanding. Fear is a terrible, controlling thing that grows ever more powerful if you don't watch it closely enough. But she doesn't judge anyone for it, not even those who had hurt her. Maybe that makes her still naive in a way, but she's just as determined as ever to not lose herself.]

I think... it is better to find a balance between the two. You can let certain regrets serve as a lesson that will strengthen you and keep you from making the same mistake, but it wouldn't be good to hold onto them too tightly. That borders dangerously on letting them control your life. I don't want to let that happen.
