rougen, who is kind enough to share her amazing characters with me. And with poor Tahar.
He knew what they were called, and he supposed that it was an appropriate name. He knew few by sight, and even fewer by anything more than reputation. What they wanted, who they were really working for, what they could do… well, maybe had the smallest inkling of what the darkness could do. He’d been keeping his eyes open for the last few months, after all.
But his lovely, darling Ceres – it was so strange to think of her as his, after all this time – she was an Unknown as well. One of the Unknowns, a variable to fill in. But when he felt her skin warm against his, heard her sweet, heady laugh, saw her put a finger to the side of her nose as she used to when she was a child, it all became very hard to believe. Even as he unzipped the Unknown coat, it was easy to let it slip from his mind, what the coat meant.
Then again, as he kissed her, drinking in the soft sounds his lips drew from her, he realized how much he’d come to accept that everyone he loved was unknown. That he couldn’t understand anyone; he could barely understand himself. And so the darkness flickering in the shadows wasn’t all that difficult to ignore. The bundle of apparent contradictions that her father… her master… presented: he could accept them without dismissing them. He was resigned, and he would let it happen as it might.
He met her emerald green eyes, aflame and certainly not those of a little girl, and he had the distinct feeling that he was, inherently, known. Understood. And though she would always remain who she was, what she was, he took comfort in the understanding. He was different because, deep down, he was glad to be Known. And it was part of why he loved her so very much.
