❛  you’re only asking questions about me, why don’t you tell me a little more about yourself ?  ❜ - for Namine @bravewielder

Talk about... herself? While it shouldn't be something so odd to her, it's just not something she typically does. She's more than content with just listening to someone, but she supposes it's only natural Riku wants to learn more about her while she also wants to learn about him.

What's interesting about her? Drawing and listening are some of the few things she's good at which is a given and highly obvious. So the next thing she comes up with is,

" Uhm, I really like fishing a lot, I've only caught a couple of fish but most of the time I'm pretty sure I let them go. "

She knows it's odd and out of the blue, but she has genuinely found fishing to be a favored past time nowadays due to the fond memories it held within her heart. Or rather the fond memories of someone whom she's promised to see once more.

" I had a very dear friend of mine teach me how to fish in the first place, it was before I met you and Sora. It's a bit of a long story heh. "

It's on that note she decides that maybe it's time she properly told someone about the time before Sora had come to Castle Oblivion, for it's always nice to share memories despite not being fond of the things she had to do.

So a small yet warm smile tugs at her lips as she speaks the question aloud,

" ...How would you like to hear a story about my dear friend? "

ACHIVEMENT UNLOCKED ;; The Marks Chains Leave

@ervaurem , I’m serving up a fresh plate of angst ! :D

The dream starts out like most of her more pleasant dreams do, she’s sitting next to Noctis on the shores of Destiny Island while just talking. And it truly feels comforting, it finally feels as if it’s okay to be her. She feels truly free from the chains that once squeezed oh so tightly around her. She’s no longer burdened by Castle Oblivion now. Or at least that’s what she likes to think.

He says something and she laughs at it for whatever reason, and as the conversation continues it’s blurring out, she’s missing key parts of what's going on now and it’s beginning to frustrate her. And while she knows she should be more wary of the dream as it blurs between coherent and unintelligible, she just can’t bring herself to. For she still has hope that she can force it to stay a good dream even while everything seems to slowly be falling apart at the seams.

Her train of thought is interrupted by Noctis ruffling her hair, which obviously causes her to whine playfully about him messing up her hair.

“ Nocttt, you jerk! Now my hair is all messed uppppp. 

What she expects is the typical teasing or sassy response from her dearest friend, to hear him laugh at her obviously over exaggerated playful whines about the fact he’d messed up her hair. Not anything else, so which is why his response not only stings but it makes her heart clench somewhat.

“ …You can just fix it can’t you? Stop being so dramatic Namine. “

Her mouth opens and then closes, because he’s never once told her that before. Has she become annoying to him? Was she becoming too much for him and he’d grown tired of her without her knowing? She quickly shakes off those questions and reminds herself it’s just a dream, and that she can just play it off as a joke that didn’t bother her. Yeah, that’d work!

“ Hahah, fine, fine, I’ll stop. And I can but it’s just so annoying to do so without a brush y’know? I’d probably need to go get myself a brush before doing anything else! Or else who knows how much of a disaster my hairline will become. “

While she’s laughing, he’s just eerily quiet now, with an unreadable expression on his face which makes her uneasy. For it’s not an expression she often sees decorate his face, for she’s typically able to judge or come up with a rough idea as to how he feels based on his facial expression. Namine ignores the pit of dread deep within her and tries to get a response out of Noctis, for the silence really isn’t pleasant to her.

“ Err.. I’m sorry if I’m being too much. I just thought we were having fun and stuff! I really didn’t mean to cross a line if I did Noct. Honestly-! “

That’s the only word she can get out before she hears a scoff from her friend, which makes her feel as if something’s wrong. But before she gets the chance to ask him what’s wrong, he finally breaks his silence.

“ That’s what you always say, ‘you didn’t mean to’, it’s what you always say when you do something out of line. As if that’s supposed to make things all okay, because if you really didn’t mean to, then it shouldn’t have happened in the first place no? “

It leaves her speechless when he says that, for why is he being so harsh? He should know she really didn’t mean to upset him at all, but before she can gather any more of her words she notices the area around her transforming into a place she knows all too well, Castle Oblivion. This causes her to swallow her saliva nervously, for this wasn’t going to end well.

“ ...The fact you’re not even trying to defend yourself just proves you know I’m right and that you just don’t want to say it. I can tell that you don’t really believe you did anything wrong do you? You just want me to think that you feel guilty so that I pity you huh? Because you’re just a lonely witch who can only make friends when they pity poor little old you. “

His words become more sharp and brutal with every syllable, they make her skin crawl as she tries not to cry from the harsh yet false accusations thrown at her.

“ Noct, I- “

“ Don’t call me ‘Noct’, and stop trying to pretend that we’re friends. Why would I want to be friends with a witch who altered my memories? Who was willing to strip me of my freedom in exchange for her own until she grew a conscious? “

She wants to scream it’s not true and that he’s her dearest friend, that she really never wanted to hurt him. Namine wants to cry so bad, and it’s starting to become very apparent as it becomes harder to hold back her own tears. She doesn’t understand why this once so sweet dream has turned into one of her worst nightmares, but she doesn’t like it at all.

“ Look at you getting all teary eyed, like you have the right to get teary eyed at all. You hurt me, I never hurt you, not once Namine. You’re truly a witch through and through huh Namine? You just love to make people suffer and throw the blame on someone else to gain people's pity, for while Marluxia may have told you to do these things, YOU’RE the one who chose to do them. “

Namine can feel her heart cracking with every word and syllable spoken, why is he being like this? He doesn’t think this way about her actually. Does he?

“ I’m sorry I… I didn’t want to alter your memory or hurt you. I really didn’t! I promise! Please, you’ve gotta believe me..! “

She can’t help letting her tears fall down her cheeks and her hands shake, for this hurts so much. She just wants for this constant agonizing ache in her heart to stop, she just wants to be happy for once in her life. Is that too much to ask for?

“ …You aren’t even pitiful for an act, you’re just that pathetic aren’t you? “ He shakes his head at her before continuing on, “ I can’t believe I ever wanted to save some little witch like you. I don’t know why I didn’t just kill you the moment I found out you’d been messing with my memories, that could have saved me so much time in not only my journeys, but my life. But as much as you probably wish I would, I’m not going to kill you. For you’re not even worth my time Witch of Memories, you’re just a pathetic hollow shell of another person who’ll always shine brighter than you ever will. “

She tightly hugs herself as her lips quivered from pain with how broken and shriveled up her heart felt. Why did she have to be so pathetic? Why couldn’t she have just been born strong? Why couldn’t she be more like Kairi?

“ Stop. Just, stop it please. “

“ What’s the matter? Nobodies aren’t even supposed to exist, let alone feel anything, so why don’t you stop pretending you’re hurt over the fact you’re nothing but an unwanted shadow to your Somebodies’ light. You’re a greedy shadow leach who takes light from others for yourself in order to live. “

It burns so bad, it really does.

“ Stop it, you’re… you’re wrong! “

“ No, I’m right. You do nothing but take from people. You do nothing but hurt everyone you try to ‘care for’, you sap the light out of life. Especially mine. So, I’m going to do the only thing you can do to get rid of a leach. “

Before she could ask what he meant by that he’s walking away from her, and she can’t bring herself to do anything but call out to him.

“ What are you..? “

And before he’s finally left out the door, he turns to look at her one last time before speaking,

“ I’m cutting you off. I don’t need a lightless witch of a leech in my life. Be grateful I’m not killing you, for leaving you alive is the only mercy someone like you will EVER be able to afford. “

And before she can cry out, she finds herself resting into the bedroom she’s been staying with her head face first into a pillow. And while most times she finds herself crying over her nightmares from pain, all she feels right now is just numbness. For how else was she supposed to feel waking up from a dream like that?

She’s tired of hurting and being hurt, for Namine can only take so much before she shatters into pieces that can’t be glued back together anymore.

She just wants to find peace and happiness within herself.

Is that truly too much to ask for?

She’s practically ecstatic and jumping for joy as she looks at the big fish she’d caught. Namine doesn’t know how she managed to reel it in, but she wasn’t complaining, not in the slightest bit. Not to mention, there’s no mistaking the proud look on her face as she takes a photo of her with the fish. She can’t wait to show Noct!

It might not be the best quality image, but regardless she sends it to him with a wide smile adorning her face, indicating how much fun she’s truly having.

ACHIVEMENT UNLOCKED ;; Just Out of Reach

@ervaurem ( was this ordered? no, but you shall receive! x )

Her eyes finally fluttered closed after a day that had gone surprisingly well. For today, not once had she felt out of place amongst her friends, not that it’s much, but it’s still something she can be proud of herself for. Because this means she’s actually successfully coming out of her shell more, albeit very slowly. But, it’s a start, that’s for sure. And what better way is there to end the day than with a nice bit of rest?

The dream starts out with her feeling like she’s floating within the calm darkness of sleep, she feels peaceful and without worry. But then again, peace never lasts for too long now does it? Especially not when it comes to her dreams, or rather her nightmares.

Before she knows what’s going on, she feels as if she’s fastly free falling deeper within the darkness, only for it to lead to a blinding light which forces her to shut her eyes from how much it hurts to have such a light shine in her sensitive azure irises. And by the time she opens her eyes once more, she finds herself laying on wet ground, three figures to her left and one to her right. Their faces were blurry at first, but the person’s face on the right was the first and only to become unblurred. It was what she assumed was HIM, someone she’d made a promise to about 2 years ago.

She watches as HE walks away before getting up herself to dizzily follow HIM with a stagger. Not even caring to know if the other three would try to stop her, and surprisingly they didn’t. But she didn’t care to notice that, for following HIM and talking to HIM was far more important than anything. Reassuring HIM that she kept the promise was the thing that was on the forefront of her mind, not the danger, and certainly not if HE’D recognize her or not. She’s ignoring all the signs that should tell her that this truly is just another dream, for she wants it to be REAL.

Namine is lagging behind HIM, trying to keep up as much as her head spins and as much as she wants to collapse right back onto the ground. She only finally catches up to HIM when HE’S sitting on HIS throne. Something that was fitting for HIM, and something she felt proud to be able to witness. But in her attempt to come any closer than where she already stood was halted by some force, it made her feel as if her feet were glued to the ground below her. No matter, she just needs to talk, to speak. HE’S just within her reach this time, and she’s not about to hesitate like she always has. She will speak with confidence towards HIM.

“  Noct.. I’m sorry I took so long, but look! LOOK! I’m here now haa..haa. “

The way in which she speaks is almost hysterical, she’s been desperate to talk to Noctis once more, to confirm he’s okay. That’s all she wanted, for him to be okay and happy, for that would in turn make her happy to know that he’s doing well. But why would she ever get something that she wants? Fate has been cruel before, and it’ll be cruel once more.

Noctis seems to ignore her, to not care for her words, and speak to himself. Something that makes her heart ache with such great pain. Had he truly just said what he said to her back then to bring her comfort? Did he not care about her? No. No, that’s not the case, it can’t be the case. She refuses for Marluxia to have been correct.

“ Noct..? I’m right here! Dunno if you heard me the first time, but yeah! Look at me! I’m free, and I’m here for you! We’re together again! “

Once more he ignores her, but his ring begins to shine with a light. Something she doesn’t understand to an extent, because her memory doesn’t seem to be comprehending what’s truly going on. But one thing she manages to make out is an apology before the words become inchearent once more. An apology to HER for breaking the promise of meeting again, but it’s not directed at her as if she’s even here. It’s like he can’t…

That’s when it clicks in for her. She realizes he cannot hear or see her for whatever reason, which causes her to slap her hand over her mouth to prevent a choked noise from escaping. Because it’s just like before, it’s just like when he left Castle Oblivion, he’s just out of the grasp of her hands. And she hates it, she feels pathetic for not being able to reach him. So she refuses to give up, even though it’s practically impossible for him to hear her.

“ Noct, my dearest friend, you have to hear my calls out to you! Please! I’m right here, I’m right by your side once more! “

It’s to no avail as he summons his weapon and strikes it into the ground, she doesn’t know what he’s doing, but she can’t just give up. For if she did, what was the point of having survived Castle Oblivion? To fail a promise that she wishes to keep? She thinks not.

“ Please.. I can’t deal with this. Please just say something to me, say you can hear me, say you never cared, say you hate me, just SAY SOMETHING PLEASE! “

Blue blurs come down, she can’t make out what they are, and it frustrates her, afterall she just wants to know not only what’s going on but why he can’t hear her cries out for him. But all those thoughts stop when he’s struck by one of the blue blurs, because for some reason she feels the pain surge through her as well. As if when he hurts, she hurts as well.

Her theory is confirmed when all of them begin to strike one after the other as the pain crawling within her body becomes so unbearable a shriek leaves Namine’s mouth as she sobs. Tears roll down her cheeks as snot dribbles down her nose, this hurts so much, but as the last one is striking, she finally tries to call out one last time.

“ I'M RIGHT HERE. I'M HERE, NOCTIS! PLEASE, PLEASE I’M HERE-! “

-

Namine shoots straight up from her bed shoving her sheets off, for they felt as if they were suffocating her. And while the pain she swore she felt in the dream, or rather nightmare, didn’t linger. The pain and aching within her heart was a different story, for her heart was rattling against her chest erratically, she felt so far out of control and she hates it, she hates not being in control of herself so much.

So she grabs the pillow her head had been resting on before shoving her face right into it and screaming her anguish out along with her tears. For she felt pathetic, she felt as if she somehow failed him, and she doesn’t like it because she’s almost convinced it’s true that she had just failed him.

It’s hard to truly breath between her sobbing and her screaming, but once she sets her pillow down she tries to catch her breath thinking she’s calmed down only for the tears to start falling once more. Not as much as before, but they still fell from her tired and worn eyes. She should have known a good day would never last, not for her at least. But the one thing that kept her grounded from worrying about whether Noctis is dead or not is that it was just a nightmare. It wasn’t real, and it would never be real. For she knows he cares about her, or so she likes to think at the least.

She swallows her saliva as she finally out speaks out loud with a raspy and strained mumble,

“ When will you not be.. just out of reach for me? I miss you more than anything after all. It’s not fair. “

@ervaurem​ 🗣  ( to rex & namine about law & noct respectively? :3 )

NAMINE & NOCTIS -

“ My feelings on Noct? Well I am forever grateful to him, I don’t think I can articulate in words how much our time in Castle Oblivion meant to me. And I’m very proud of him for how far he’s come since we last met there. “

There was a brief pause, as if contemplating on whether or not she should elaborate more on the way she feels, before coming to a swift conclusion to just speak from her heart.

“ And.. I suppose I still feel guilt even after he’s forgiven me for altering his memory during that time, whether it helped him in his journey or not, it’s still not a nice thing to have on my conscience. “

A small huff could be by the end of the sentence, Namine’s face shifted from a serious look to a more fond look.

“ ..Another thing I can say is that he’s someone I can truly trust and rely on if I need to speak from the deepest depths of my heart. He is the person who originally offered me a hand out of the deep darkness I’d been drenched in. “

A small genuine smile grew onto her face, even as she expressed herself, there still wasn’t enough words in the world to truly depict her appreciation of him. He means so very much to her, for he’d been the one who guided her to the right path. He’d been the one to first show her that she was more then what she was told.

“ Noctis Lucis Caelum, my dearest friend, is someone who will always hold a place within my heart even if we are worlds apart. And nothing can nor will ever change that. “

[divinitysheart]

@ervaurem said HAPPY BIRTHDAY:

For once, Noctis didn't find it as much of a struggle to get a birthday present for Naminé. It might not look much at the surface, but it was a tangible sentiment of everything they went through together.

The gift was a fishing hat was an embroided letter N. on its side, along with an embroidered sylleblossom next to it. Attached was a letter that read:

Sorry if I can't be here in person. Writing like this is still pretty awkward for me, too. I'll make it up to you next time. You probably know how through this gift. I still won't go easy on you in our next fishing battle.

Happy Birthday, Namine. Thank you for everything. Most of all, thank you for being my dearest friend.

-N.L.C.

Her hands gently hold the present with such a soft smile as she looks at it, her eyes filled with nothing less than pure and utter joy upon seeing her gift from her dearest friend. The hat embroidered with the letter N and the embroidered syblleblossom as well... oh he's put so much thought and care into this. Just as she had with his gift.

When she reads the letter her eyes water from her happiness... reading it is nothing less than pure joy to her entire being. It may be awkward but yet in the same breath it's perfect to her, because he put his authentic thought into this and that in itself means a lot to her. But then again, everything they've gone through and have dealt with together means everything to her. She truly cherishes the bond they've built and flourished.

She sniffles softly with a warm smile as happy tears slip from the corners of her eyes... she's truly touched by this so much. And although he can't hear her and this is only a letter... she softly whispers out her appreciation for him. " My dearest friend... you're just the best honestly. Thank you... for everything you've helped me learn and thank you for being my dearest friend too... I don't know where I'd be without you. "

A soft chuckle leaves her mouth as she reads over it again and remembers that they have to plan a fishing battle sometime soon. She knows he's not going to go easy on her but... she's not going to just loss so easily either!

@ervaurem​ - a little response hehe x

It’s not hard for her to pick up an interest in things she’s never done before, for showing her things she’s never seen before makes her often pull an expression similar to that of a child being handed candy. Because even though fishing could be considered “boring” to most, she finds it fascinating.

The way you never know what’s going to end up taking the bait on the rod’s hook, and the way you can never truly expect anything to bite excites her. For it can be something new every time, and even if it’s the same thing, it’s still fun. Even on days where nothing was caught, it was still fun. Especially around her Dearest Friend, because she finds that there’s never a dull moment at the side of her friend.

For the first time in awhile she lets out a snort at his statement, for she supposes he’s not wrong on that front. He’s never been one to turn down fishing at any time, and if he did say no sometime in the future she would be sure to throw his words right back at him to try and see his reaction. Something she thinks might be rather amusing.

“ Yeah you’re right, only a knock-off of you would say no to fishing. Afterall it’s one thing that can pretty quickly catch your attention. “

It’s these moments that make her almost forget what she’s doing and what she is, for when around Noctis, she feels almost as if she can loose her worries for a moment. As if she’s safe.

Namine happily takes the rod handed to her and holds it in a similar manner to him, but then he tells her that whoever has the fewer catches will buy the Sea Salt Ice Cream he’s been hearing about. In which surprisingly lights a fire underneath her, for she’s going to try her hardest to get as many catches as she can now just to try and get him to be the one who gets it.

“ Sounds good to me, especially because I’m for sure gonna catch more than you! “

It’s not a side to her she reveals often, but even Namine has a bit of competitiveness within her. And it’s clear she’s speaking lightheartedly not just by the tone of her voice but by the way she’s smiling widely at her friend. This is nothing more than a playful competition for her, and she wouldn’t feel too sour if he did end up catch more than her.

Afterall, both ending results ended up with them getting Sea Salt Ice Cream, and that sounds pretty nice to her.

[divinitysheart]

@ervaurem "Hey now, don't let the fish that got away get to you. That's just part of fishing. Gotta expect that most of the time, which makes catching one all the more worth it."

Upon the fish getting away from her, she feels a bit disappointed. And while it's not exactly the most common reaction to disappointment, her grip slightly tightens on the rod as she lets ought a quiet sigh. Even though she was still new to fishing, it's hard to not be a little disappointed in the fact she let it get away.

But her minds attention switched from the disappointment she felt to Noctis as he spoke. And to no surprise, he picked up on her disappointment, but that's not really the important part. For the important part would be the words he's speaking, in which of course she's fully listening to.

"That's just part of fishing."

Those words in specific do wonders in reminding her that fishing itself isn't just about catching the fish, and that it's truly only just a part of it. In which very much destroys the feeling of disappointment and replaces it with a new found excitement.

" Hmm, I suppose you're right. That does make catching one sound all the more worth it! "

Namine truly should have been paying more attention to her rod, for she hadn't noticed that something had taken the bait until she feels a rather harsh tug that almost makes her loose her balance at first. And just as she scrambles to try and attempt to reel whatever this was in, and when the fish tugs again it actually causes her to loose her balance this time.

" WooAHHH- "

And before she knows it, she's in the water now. And she's soaking wet from head to toe, with her fishing hat having somehow remaining on her. As for the rod, she supposes it's somewhere that she can't see as she goes and reaches out to grip the solid wood above her.

She can tell Noctis is about to ask if she's okay before she finds herself cracking up with loud and uncontrollable laughter, that is so very clearly genuine, for this was certainly not something she had anticipated happening. But she'd be lying if she didn't find it funny. And between her laughter she asks, " A little help here please? "

Maybe they'd have to stop fishing for a moment to get her into clothes that weren't soaking wet, and maybe she hadn't been able to catch a fish like she'd initially planed.

But she's caught something way better than a fish, that's for sure.

What it is you may ask? Well that's simple.

She's caught a memory that they could surely look back and laugh on. And that’s something that no fishing rod could ever hope to catch.

#ervaurem #✴ remnants of memory ✴ namine #✯ lucky charmed ✯ namine & noctis #( OKAY SOME FLUFF AS PROMISED RJDIJIF ) #( i hope this makes sense to some degree haha ) #( BUT LOOK AT HER SHES SO HAPPYYY :D )

[divinitysheart]

@ervaurem The King opened the doors to the quarters where his friend slept for the night. He didn't expect her to look the opposite of someone who slept well. "What's wrong, Naminé?" ( from what we talked about dhskns )

Namine finds herself uncontrollably shaking from a nightmare that just loved to haunt her. Except this time, she doesn't remember the details of it like she typically does, but she remembers watching as he was about to die once again. She remembers being practically glued in place, and being unable to move.

She finds that no matter how hard she tries, the tears that welled in her eyes just won't seem to go away even when she reassures herself it was yet another nightmare. What didn’t help was that she can't really recognize where she is right now, because this doesn't look like her room and the fact that it isn’t her room makes her so much more anxious, which once again doesn't really help her already distressed state.

While she may not like it, she urges herself to get up and figure out where she is, because maybe, just maybe Noctis is here too. Namine uses the bed for support as she unsteadily gets up, and attempts to make her way out of the door with tear stained cheeks.

What she doesn't expect is for a man to open the doors ask her what's wrong, for she's not exactly thinking the most clearly after her nightmare. It takes Namine a moment to collect her thoughts to some degree before realizing that the man was none other than Noctis, and she's internally kicking herself for not recognizing the voice earlier.

Namine's feet clumsily rush over to him, surprisingly not tripping over herself as she practically latches onto his arm in a desperate hug, as if she's scared that if she lets go that he'll disappear right before her eyes.

" Nothings wrong, it's just, are you okay? I just- you- "

The only word to describe the way she was feeling as of right now was overwhelmed. For not only was he alive, he can see her, and that means he can probably hear her. Something that brought her so much joy, because for once, he's not just out of her reach. She can latch onto him, she wasn't glued to the floor.

" You're real right..? You didn't die? It was just a dream right? Oh please tell me I'm right and this isn't my conscious' messed up way of making me feel guilty, I don't think I can.. "

The words were falling out of her mouth without thought, she can't help it. For while she might be awake, her mind feels like she's seeing a ghost after that dream. She just needs to know that it's real, and that it's going to be okay.

" I'm sorry.. I'm really sorry, I'm being a real bother aren't I? Not to mention I'm just such a mess, and I shouldn't be asking you all these questions, I should just be glad you can hear and see me. I’m just, I'm sorry Noct. "

Maybe she shouldn't apologize for being so emotional, but she truly can't help it at this point.

" ...Please just tell me that you're okay. If that’s not too much to ask of you, I mean. Because I don’t want to be asking too much of you, y’know? "

When Namine has nightmares about the fate of Noctis, more often than not it’s just her helplessly watching Noctis die before her very eyes while desperately crying out to him. And no matter how loud she cries out he just never seems to hear even though she’s right there. As if he’s just out of reach.

This is specifically before they finally see each other again, because after they see each other again the nightmares cease.

@ervaurem​ Looking out into the sunset from Galdin Quay with Naminé, Noctis glanced at his companion with his face as warm as the setting sun's glow. This was a comforting sight before them; a reminder that after the darkness there would always be light. A sunrise to look forward to symbolizing that of endless new hopes. Just like how the once Pained Prince and Empty Nobody became the True King and the Brave Maiden respectively from their own experiences

"You know, I can't wrap my head around the fact that you're here. That, and I still wasn't the person who saved you back then. But… there's something else I did at the very least. I didn't forget you, Naminé."

‘ I didn’t forget you, Namine. ‘

There weren’t enough words to express how much that meant to her. For being forgotten was something she feared the most, especially being forgotten by someone she deemed so near and dear to her heart. So the fact he never forgot her made so many emotions rush through her.

“ It’s.. hard for me to wrap my head around the fact you’re here as well, for being able to meet you once again is something I always hoped for. “

She briefly pauses before continuing onto, almost as if she’s getting something off of her own chest, “ But Noct, you DID save me back then. You’re the person who first pulled me out of the darkness and gave me light, you gave me my first glimmer of hope ever. You taught me how to be brave and that letting go is sometimes for the better, no matter how much it hurts. “

Her gaze was fully shifted onto Noctis as she spoke now, normally words struggled to leave her mouth, but this time they weren’t. “ The things I learned from you saved me, as sappy as it might sound. For without you, yeah maybe I would have physically survived, but mentally and emotionally? I would not be where I am now without you. For you are someone who’s helped me become the person that stands before you today. You changed my outlook on my own life. “

Namine can’t help but let tears slip from her eyes, but it was clear these were tears of joy as the smile on her face was as bright as the rising sun. “ And thank you for not forgetting me. I wouldn’t have blamed you if you had, or if I would only become just a vague memory to you. For as long as you were happy, my heart would have been content with being only a memory to you. “

Maybe it’s not the best thing to admit to him, but she’s able to speak her emotions for once in her life. Something that’d always been a struggle for her since she’d finally been give a body to reside in.

“ But it’s clear to see that I’m not just a memory to you. And that you’ve had me in your thoughts, hoping I was safe. And I will never in my life time be able to tell you how much that means to me, for it’s far beyond words of how much it means to me. And how much you’ve affected my life is yet another thing I will never have the words to explain. “

Namine never intended to become so emotional talking to him, but hey, sometimes things just happen whether you intend for them to or not. “ I.. just. Thank you. Thank you for everything Noct, for you truly are the dearest friend I could have ever asked for. “

@ervaurem "So, who would you choose between me and Sora?" ( from mr. king, asking the impossible question, but also mainly to tease her for fun HAHA )

Namine nearly chokes on her own saliva when he asks her this question, because where in the hell was this coming from?

" I- HUH?! "

Namine looks perplexed at the question, because how is she even supposed to answer a question like that!

" How do you expect me to answer that?! I care for you both a lot, and you know that, this isn't a fair question Nocttt. "

A huff leaves her mouth, almost as if she's a little worried as to why he'd ask something of the sort. " Where is this coming from anyways? Like, it's completely out of the blue! "

@ervaurem​ "I'll get you out of here. There's no way I'd wanna let these cloaked freaks still dictate you to do things you'd never wanna do. But you have to make sure you wanna do this, too. If I can get out of here soon enough, then maybe you can, too."  (noct to namine b/c we need angsty feels again in this household )

‘I’ll get you out of here’

Had the words been from anyone else, she would have simply dismissed the notion of her being able to leave the Castle. But from Noctis? The person she’d come to know as one of her dearest friends? She feels inclined to believe that he can save her from her sadness, from this prison of a castle. But she knows all too well it’s not her time to leave yet.

The feeling of dread leaks into her stomach, but she can’t let him see her resolve falter when she speaks, she can’t let him see how much it pains her to say this. He has enough burdens and pains on his shoulders, and her own anguish was not about to become one of them. For him, she’d become brave, she’d be strong and she’ll never fall too deep in the darkness ever again.

Her hand gently rests on his shoulder as she puts on the bravest face she can muster, and finds courage to look him in the eyes as she speaks.

“ Noctis, my dearest friend I’d truly love to leave this place honestly. Especially right by your side as you grow and change. But I’m afraid I cannot any time soon. “ Namine takes a deep breath before continuing, preparing to tell him why she couldn’t leave yet. “ It’s.. not my time to leave yet. I have a feeling that my destiny lays here, which means I’m still needed here. So as much as I want to go with you I cannot. “

It’s hard to keep up the brave face, but she still continues to do so, even when she wants nothing but to be selfish and follow with him in his journeys. When the true thing she desires is to no longer be alone and chained.

It pains her non-existent heart to speak the words that she believes must be spoken. Namine only hopes that he understands that she’s telling him this out of the kindest place of her soul, because she’d truly not like to leave their friendship on such a sour note.

“ Noct, you need to let go of me for now. I know what I’m requesting is hard, but you must understand, you cannot save me right now. For I still have to fulfill my own destiny.  “
