[ he is right in that, for all her long years she rarely considered what she wanted. her wants were unimportant, impossible, in the grander scheme of things. her wants would have put everything in jeopardy and alerted the Heavenly Principles to the plan. now free of those chains, of that duty, she is free to desire things for herself but struggles to allow herself to do it.
Furina chews her bottom lip as he puts down his cup and comes to crouch in front of her, mismatched eyes flick up to his icy blue ones immediately and hold her there.
