Chì Mi Na Mórbheanna Who: Sayuri and Liadan What: Not Sure Where: The Woods When: January 12th, 2010 (morning) Rating: Status: Incomplete
"O chì, chì mi na mórbheanna"
Despite the fact that Liadan had returned to classes and the med bay, she still wasn't quite herself. She had glanced at the journals, had read what other people were saying and still, she couldn't bring herself to reply to them. As horrible and guilty as she felt for avoiding people, she knew it would be worse if she forced them to deal with her problems simply by being around them. There were so many things she wanted to say and yet, she couldn't say any of them as if the words stuck in her throat, choking her until she swallowed them back down again.
At the beginning of the week, most of her time had been spent in the woods, praying to the Lady for clarity and yet, finding none. The warm glow that surrounded her while she communed with her Goddess was still present, but it was still not enough to ease her mind.
"O chì, chì mi na córrbheanna"
Her steps unerringly led her to the woods, one of the few places where she felt like she could be loud as her voice rose, the familiar syllables rolling off her tongue as she reached the safety of the forest's edge. She still had time before classes started and she was going to make the best of it. No matter how much she wanted to run from it and no matter what Touya wrote, it had felt like she'd died. Like they really had taken a part of her away and refused still to relinquish it.
Still singing, Liadan wondered if it was strange that Ty's death had shook her more deeply than her own. That the expression on Locke's face while she was dying had been etched deeply into her mind. Her friends had been in pain, were still in pain and Liadan could do no more now for them than she could have done then. The mournful tune wrapped around her, making her steps feel lighter as she moved deeper into the woods, her skirts swirling in time with the snow crunching under her feet.
