[OPEN] Il nous reste toute une vie pour pleurer
Characters: Midii Une & Anyone who comes across her
Date: backdated to March 28 (One Year and 6-month 'versary of the day Malicant killed a few baby turtles)
Location: A small memorial set up just outside the city.
Situation: Midii Remembers the times before the Final Battle
Warnings/Rating: Talks of depressing subjects such as war, death, loss, etc etc. Basically, this is not meant to be a happy log.
On that day, Midii wore black.
She was normally quiet to begin with, but there was a noticeable aura of solemn about her. Hair combed until it was slick straight, only partially concealing her eyes as it fell down her shoulders in twin waterfalls of blonde. Face, washed. No makeup--she had never learned how to apply it properly, even as she came of age where many girls might have begun to take an interest.
Her first stop was to see a florist. Normally, flowers would have been an unnecessary expense. Even on Valentine's Day--they were pretty, yes, and sometimes they even smelled nice. But with her limited resources of money, she could never justify the cost. Except for today. She would have been remiss if she'd gone without a small bouquet of carnations and forget-me-nots. The flower of Remembrance.
If anyone where to follow her, they would notice her steps were deliberate. She wasn't wandering around the city aimless. It would be a long haul to make it all the way out of the city, but she never once stopped. Not even to eat. She wanted to make it to the site before it got dark.
Once there, she approached the grave marker with little hesitation. Her eyes scanned over every inch of it, trying not to think about how long it had been. How she should have been back sooner. The flowers were placed at its base, and she took the time to lightly run her fingers over it before calling out, softly:
"I'm sorry, Emily-Helen. You shouldn't be here. You should be with Riva and the others. Alive and Happy."
Were anyone to approach, she wouldn't feel ashamed. She wouldn't feel frightened. She wouldn't even shut herself off.
And if anyone were to ask...she would tell them.
Because Emily-Helen and the other baby turtles deserved to be remembered.

"Riva's still alive. I can feel her, just barely." She wasn't sure why she felt the need to divulge that much, but she did. Words as much for her ears as for his. "But...I knew Emily-Helen. She and Riva were close."

"It was hard not to be their friend."

It was with a smile she said this, however, thinking back to some of the ways Riva had demonstrated just that. She'd been a clever girl. Even more so as she got older and became more aware of not just the world around her, but the emotions she'd constantly glinted off her turtle parents.
Midii, more than once, had fallen victim to her (harmless) ploys. Frustrating at the time, but now, she looked back on those days fondly.

Given how much the city had found them to be a sign of hope, it wasn't unreasonable.
no subject
She thought back to past conversations, and how Emily-Helen had always tried so hard to keep the peace. That was the kind of person--er, turtle she had been.
"They had no reason to think anyone would have hurt them at the time. We didn't know."
