The light shining through the canopy above was bright. The Elezen squinted up at the light and smiled. He had always loved the feeling of sun on his skin. Just another thing to enjoy about life. He continued on his path forward, sauntering to nowhere in particular, just enjoying world and letting his thoughts wander.
Atrium. That brought another smile to his face. How odd things had turned out, not at all how he had foreseen it. What had started as a way for Oubliette to amuse himself, had changed in to something... more. What that was, he was still unsure of. The pale Crow continued to stroll forward, stopping briefly at a creek and gazing into the clear water. A fish lay in the shadow of a bush, swimming slowly against the current to keep its position. Oubliette pondered the creature.
It would be easy to just let the current pull it down stream to new places. An adventure. The Elezen chuckled to himself. He'd been changing as well. Before he would have taken the easy path and let the current take him to new and exciting places, but now he struggled against it. Like a fish. He shook his head and chuckled again. He was like a fish, and like a certain Roegadyn. How odd.
Oubliette continued on his way, considering the path he'd embarked on. Atrium would be free, he would ensure that. The Voice had gone too far in his punishment of her. Oubliette would see The Voice die for that. There was much to do and he would have to be very careful. If The Voice learned of his betrayal, that would be end of Oubliette's scheme and life. All he could do now was push forward and see the plan to its finish, all the while keeping Atrium in the dark. He was not willing to risk her life in his plan.
The tall Elezen leaned down and plucked a flower. He just gazed at it in mild curiosity for a few moments. What a pretty thing. Much like Atrium. Though he preferred the old body, the new one was nice enough. Oubliette let the flower slip through his fingers and fall to the earth. She would be free of The Voice, free of anyone controlling her. He'd make sure of that. Oubliette laughed dryly and adopted a bemused grin. Since when was he willing to sacrifice for someone else? My, how things had changed. He continued on his walk and shut his eyes, letting his legs take him on a familiar course. The light danced between the leaves and branches, catching the Crow's face. Another smile.
