❛ confident enough to go out by yourself, aren't you ? ❜ smug tone is evident, every intent lying within his words as smug smirk curves at his lips, visage presenting faux ease, one to deceive her enough to allow her guard to fall.
lux, optimist at heart that sought peace & serenity through each battle — her desire to grow as a team remains admirable, it is one of the defining features that sets her apart from the rest ( a true leader is fit to help herself & those around her ). alas, that, too, may be her drastic downfall, what inhibits her from truly blooming into the beauteous flower she holds potential to be. one may clamor over how pivotal it is to cooperate, the integrity of teamwork, but cooperation is a myth. leaders don an amicable guise to deceive others into doing selfish work, for leaders are meant to abandon others they don't see fit —— leaders will allow others to fall in their stead.
❛ you must feel really lucky, star nerd. ❜ impish tone applied without problem, rakan's movements fluid & much too relaxed, edging closer & utilizing his towering stature to loom over her, staring down, down at her, for she is small. a simple task. a persistent bug that must be squashed. accept the doubts of your heart. ❛ running into me of all people ! you should feel special. ❜ in that same instance, another tonal shift is beckoned, countenance following right along : eyelids lower ever so slightly, corner of lips curving wider towards ears, & his voice ? void of its initial gaiety. ❛ special, that's what everyone says you are, but i'm sure you know you're not all that special. that you can't do anything to help anyone, right ? ❜ /// @finalsparke
