either way, fia has gotten a little used to feeling everyone else's emotions. she hasn't really registered how this must feel for lemuen. there's a pinch of guilt over that, but first and foremost, there's understanding. ]
I... didn't even think about it, but this must be like how sankta feel empathy, isn't it?
[ she knows lemuen's empathy was affected by the Law becoming inactive. it must be strange to feel something like this weeks later. ]
[ the emotion of very very slight unease. oh, lemuen. ]
Fulfilling the First Saint's goal isn't exactly a good point of comparison...
[ help
fia has to really think about that, though. she takes a seat on her bed. the emoshare is the slightest feeling of dread and discomfort. it would be a lot worse if she was around anyone but lemuen. ]
It's... a little uncomfortable, to be honest. You can't exactly control how you're feeling sometimes, right?
[ ah. yep, lemuen can sure feel that. unlike fia though, she takes the liberi's negative emotions in stride as she nods in commiseration. ]
It is rather overwhelming, isn't it? Not to mention invasive. And unless you've fallen like Mostima, there's no other way to turn it off.
[ apart from your supercomputer of a god decided to turn it off only to turn it back on again, rip ]
But you know? You don't really need to feel someone's emotions in order to fully empathize with them. That's what I've learned for these past couple of years.
I know you have. [ ... ] It was hard to understand for me at first. I know I made that pretty obvious. You, Mostima, and him... Andoain, you all got to know me even though you couldn't empathize with me the same way. I still felt close to you.
[ nodnod, before reaching up to hold fia's hand. ]
It's all thanks to you, you know? I learned how to read the room a little better with you around. Your minute facial expressions, the way your feathers would shake up whenever you're feeling emotional... I've seen it all.
[ there's probably a thing such as being too observant though, ]

Are you okay? Is it overwhelming?

Date: 2025-12-07 03:10 am (UTC)I'll get used to it. After all, this was supposed to be the end goal of the First Saint, right? Only nobody manifest halos this time.
[ so maybe this is a different kind of sankta empathy. or something. perhaps this is empathy towards your fellow man......... mind = blown ]
If anything, I should be asking you how you truly feel about it, Fiammetta. With your own words and not our mere emotions.
