[--Oh. Now she felt horrible for snapping at the person like that. She hadn't meant to be so rude.]
I'm so sorry. That was awful of me to do. [She cleared her throat, trying to fix her blunder somehow.] Did you say, 'translating' earlier? I can still help you if you want. Please, I insist.
He's interesting to me since Aftermath. There should be more of him. And yay, Amon! LoK is just love
Are you sure there's nothing I can do to help? [The tiniest of pauses. He seems so unhappy and she knew what it felt like being in that feeling.] Maybe if we talked about it, it'll make you feel better...? If. You want to. Of course.
I hope he does! I'll like to know if he got back his waterbending somehow and how he's been doing.
I like to think I heard my fair of complicated things in life. And I have all the time in the world right now so you can be detailed as you want to make sure someone silly as me will understand.
[Well now. That was complicated and the look of confusion on her face was rather difficult to hide. For a second she thinks he's joking in an attempt to make her go away but he sounds so serious.]
I see. [Not really but he was talking to her at least.] What happened to it then? Your... ability?
Waterbending. We called it waterbending, those us that can... or could, do it.
[He shuts his eyes as if in pain, and inhales and exhales slowly.] I... it... it was taken from me, ripped out of me, and all I could do was scream... [He's serious. And he's in agony over it.]
Sorry for making you wait! Life was rather hectic the past few days.
[Most times she wouldn't believe words like that. She might think it was acting, very good acting, and then she'll become rather offended someone will think she'll fall for that.
But he's clearly in agony and she knows what that's like.]
I'm so sorry that happened to you. [There isn't a hint of mockery in her voice or disbelief. Genuine sincerity as she reaches out to pat his shoulder.] That isn't fair to you at all, sir. I wish there was some way I could help.
I've been to every kind of doctor you can name. There's no getting it back. They're all still puzzling out how anyone lives through losing it, actually. Life is just so surreal now, you know? [He sighs.] I shouldn't be unloading on you. I just... I guess I'm lost now.
No, don't be sorry about it. That's a lot to carry on one's self. [Very much so. She tilts her head in sympathy, a question forming in her head when a worrying thought passes to her.] Have you ever thought... Well. What you will do if you could never, ah, get your... waterbending back? J-Just a thought, I mean! I'm not implying anything or such. Honest.
HO CRAP. KORRA CHARACTERS ABOVE ME. (I still need to see it.) I have a Hakoda. :|
I said why you're stilling hanging out at the Glass Palace, Ms. Cruz?
[The man who asks the question doesn't say it unkindly.
Vasiliy Zaslavsky is viewed... differently among the Diamonds. It depends on who one talks to. If you spoke to a piqued card, they'd have harsh words. If you spoke to a Six or Lower, he wasn't such a bad guy. Just a touch gruff.]
[Andrea has heard of Sir Zaslavsky from Danielle and the IM group. The IM group seemed fond of him though the Head was an exception. The only opinion Danielle had was he had to be more 'careful' but he was still 'efficient' despite it all.
Considering who her cousin was most of the time with other Diamonds that weren't other Tungs, that was showering praise. Still. His question leaves her feeling off for some reason and she clears her throat first to avoid her voice from cracking. It still does.]
I-I'm going to leave soon. Despite my cousin's insistence otherwise. Just planning the arrangements of it first before I return to there.
[Yeah, calling the position of Ace as 'meaningless and can easily change on the whims of the Royals' wasn't bright. And saying 'Favoritism based on Prejudice will cripple the drive and ambition of half the populace for a generation' probably wasn't either. But he would call a Diamond a Diamond.]
Ah, don't stutter, milyi. As if I had reason to judge someone being here. I thought you'd be homesick by now, no?
Haven't gotten a chance to watch it, yet? D8 I can send you links if you want!
[Danielle thought the opinions of Vasiliy were correct in some esteem. It's just the drive]
I am a little bit. [Not by a long shot considering what's waiting for her there. But her mother was calling for help and had enticed her with the promise of help securing her position as Heiress Apparent. If she got that secured again, she was a step closer helping her nieces and nephews.] It's why I'm trying to hurry everything. Danielle thinks it's unwise. Ah, the going back. She was trying to convince me to transfer here. We're not really on speaking terms now so I don't know if she already spoke of these things to you.
[It's been so long since she was last plagued with them. Back when that used to happen, on almost daily basis, she could brush it off with a scoff or smirk. These days not so much.]
What kind of rumors have you heard as of late, Sir Vasiliy?
shocked

No, I'm afraid Ms. Tsung did not. Family business is all in the tongue of speaker, so to say.
Though, rumors say you fit like a square peg in a round hole. [Not that's a bad thing in Vasiliy's eyes.]
