"The privilege to... rest every once in a while," Astrid confessed after a long moment of thought. "Less people starving. More community and sharing, less killing and war. It took forever to break the mold and even start making progress. There was still a lot of work to do, it wasn't perfect, but it wasn't anarchy anymore. I could actually sleep at night." She swallowed. "I'm just really tired of losing people, is all. It never gets easier."
She huffed and broke rhythm again, striking harder, faster, before catching herself. "--Oop. My bad."
Astrid relaxed and let her feet wander as her mind did, sometimes in a dance, and sometimes standing stiff and bracing for impact. She aimed to build callouses here and work on her footwork there, though Bellatrix's speed sometimes contributed to the former regardless of Astrid's attempts to dodge. Mere minutes in and they'd worked on many aspects of combat each, Astrid noted; she oughta invite the Zoroark out here more often to shoot the breeze and each other.
"But maybe you're right, um. Maybe there's a conversation waiting to happen there, with others." Or maybe that would be a mistake. She wasn't exactly gaining much from dwelling on it, was she? "But uh. It'd help to know why you're so unphased. There other versions of you out there somewhere you've had to come to terms with splitting from?"
