[Oct. 14] [Tales of Legendia] The World Changes and We're No Longer Crazy
Title: The World Changes and We're No Longer Crazy
Day/Theme: Oct. 14, 2009 "I've waited for you for a long time"
Series: Tales of Legendia
Character/Pairing: Thyra, Shirley/Senel
Rating: G
At first people thought we were crazy. Ferines and Orerines joined together in love and marriage, triumphing over the divide of race, centuries of turmoil, and our own mixed up relationships of the past. "If that's crazy, send me to the asylum," I would have liked to have said. But in five years the Legacy had already changed. And in ten years, the larger world was changing too. The lunatics had taken over the asylum. When Thyra finally came around easily and openly, not just in the seclusion of her own little village and heart, I knew that it was true.
"Your kids were part of what did it," she told me grudgingly when I pushed her to tell me her reasons.
"That fact that Maurits and Madame Musette began courting didn't have anything to do with it?" I giggled, knowing that I was baiting her by bringing it up. The cross-cultural component had little to do with it- just imagining Maurits in any romantic relationship at his age was somewhat unnerving to his aide.
"Watch it, Shirley. We may be friends, but that doesn't give you free reign to say whatever you want to me."
She wasn't really mad, so I tried to look smug as I said, "But can't I say anything I want as Merines?" but I ended up only looking pleasant and teasing instead, so Thyra only gave my arm a push and snickered with a roll of lips to match her eyes.
We were standing under the trees, watching Senel chase the girls around the carnelian-roofed buildings of the Ferines. Their high-pitched squeals carried on the spring breeze to our receptive ears. He was probably pretending to be an eggbear from the way he swung his muscular arms like heavy clubs as he staggered deliberately after them.
"The last time I saw Norma she said that she would've liked snagging Walter for herself if he had lived," I remarked idly.
"I didn't really know him," Thyra admitted, "But I don't think he would've been roped into that so easily. She must enjoy the thrill of the chase."
"Well, given enough time, Norma can pester anyone into doing just about anything."
Thyra turned to face me. I could already tell she was about to tell me something that would be a mixture of the silly and the serious. "Now Shirley, just because I approve of intermarriage don't go expecting me to marry an Orerines too," she quipped and doubled over in laughter.
