Seventh Blight - voice/action
Who: Riona and you
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Anywhere on the Iskaulit
When: Tonight
[It hadn't struck Riona right away, what today was. In the morning, she'd gone about her usual business, just like any other day. In fact, she may never have realized it at all, if she hadn't just idly thought about it. It hit her rather hard, leaving her almost breathless for a moment.
Today marks one year since she arrived in the fleet.
A lot of emotions come with it, ones she struggles with throughout the rest of the day. It's what eventually drives her to the Iskaulit, fighting with her thoughts as Kiter meanders alongside of her, enjoying the exercise. Riona finally decides to maybe try the network and get her thoughts out that way, rather than just mulling over them.]
I find myself observing the one year mark of my arrival to the fleet. [She falls quiet a moment, lips quirked to one side.] It's been quite a year. To those who have observed this anniversary for themselves: did you find yourselves feeling rather mixed about the whole thing? Personally, I can't quite figure out how I feel about it, quite honestly.
Maybe I should simply accept that, that there aren't going to be much in the way of words. [A huff.] Maybe what I need more than anything is a distraction. I've spent the better part of the day chewing it all over in my mind. If anyone has an idea for such, I welcome suggestions. Alternatively, if company is wanted, I'm walking with my dog around the Iskaulit.

no subject
You will see him again.
I know it's not the same, but you have friends who can keep the cold from seeping into your heart, right? Loneliness hurts, but you seem to have managed it well.
no subject
I've managed it. Whether or not I've done it "well" could be debated. But yes, I have Leliana and many others here that help with the pain.
[Admittedly, she specifically mentions Leliana on purpose, to gauge Lark's reaction.]
no subject
Some days will be easier than others. I admit, I have not seen you lose your composure as of yet.
You would go back now, then? If the option were available to you?
no subject
You missed the worst of it.
[Aka when Alistair was here and she made a drunken mess of herself on the network.
At her question, Riona looks away. She's wondered this a million times, and each time, she's never been able to come up with a good answer.]
I... I really don't know. Eventually I will return, I know this. Suppose it would depend on the circumstances. I would not willingly choose to stay here permanently, that's for certain.
