Eunie (Xenoblade Chronicles 3)/Ashera (Xenoblade Chronicles 3)

Eunie (Xenoblade Chronicles 3), Ashera (Xenoblade Chronicles 3)

Drabble, Inspired by Music, Source: Genesis, Source: Peter Gabriel

Ashera's sharp edges are way more 'n just irritating. Better word's frustrating, and it's because she's just so snuffin' hard to get ahold of.

Aionios is all about losin' people. Right now it's because war's still raging, but later it'll be about when the whole thing goes to sparks.

And that's...okay, Eunie supposes, they wouldn't be fighting for it if it wasn't, but why's Ashera gotta be so slippery? So spiky?

So unwilling to be...loved.

Eunie figures she could stand to be loved. Not by just anybody, though.

Only someone who breaks her heart as much as Ashera.
