namesthesky: (a ~ one day soon)
[personal profile] namesthesky
Aya is little used to having the opportunity to set her own priorities, but she likes it. She's not hurting for any material resources, and the organization of the attic would produce those more than anything else; and she has this entire bookshelf closer to hand. So the attic, which may or may not contain ghosts, languishes; and she steadily works through the book collection. Right now she is on the third in a series of myths from the old religion; this volume is about Aelare, the trickster.

He laughs. "Yeah. I'm glad you like the book, anyway."

"That," he says, "is why he's my favourite."

From: [personal profile] anotherbreeze
"That's one way to put it, I guess. But - I don't know, it's not just that, really. It's... you've got all these gods and heroes running around doing things, plotting for or against each other, giving and taking orders, and then Aelare pops up out of nowhere and says 'You'd look funny with a frog's head' or 'I like you, now you can fly'. She doesn't set tasks for people, she doesn't go on quests or swear fealty to anyone, she doesn't take captives and make them win their freedom by doing her chores. She plays games and makes bets, but nobody has to play with her if they don't want to. She has no ruler, no responsibilities - anything she does, it's because she felt like doing it, and another time she might feel like doing something else, and that's just in her nature."

He stops. Apparently this is a subject he gets passionate about.

"I mean, if I were a god I'd be turning more stones into ducks and giving fewer people frogs' heads," he says. "But I'd still want to be Aelare a lot more than I'd want to be anyone else. I wouldn't do all the same things she does, but I'd like the - opportunity? I'd like not having to be part of anything I didn't want to be. I'd like being someone who specifically gets to never have to deal with anybody's expectations." He ducks his head shyly. "I, uh, used to think about it a lot when I was a kid."

"Aww," he says. "Yeah. But I bet you didn't want to be Aelare."

From: [personal profile] anotherbreeze
"If I could get out of having any job title at all, ever - I mean, without causing a riot - I would. I'd rather be gem-eyed Aelare braiding moonbeams in my hair and giving people interesting bits of helpful magic than the Duke of Viore." He shrugs. "But I can't, so there it is."
