I knew a boy once. He was from the east, a brother to a Sultan. He could never be mine for he was Muslim as well. But he was mine all the same, tender and he looked upon me like I was a treasured jewel. [She smiles sweetly to think of Djem, though there is pain behind that look.]
He was taken from me before he could even be mine. And his death added to my dowry. So how do I feel? That a dear, sweet friend whom I could have loved died most likely at the hands of my family so I could wed a man twice my age for his armies.
It does not ease me. But I can remember the way he touched my hand when we danced. I can remember his smile. It is not a fair world in which we live, but this is all I have. [And the fact that it is coming out of her mouth, a petite blonde girl, is probably all the more crushing.]
ooc: she's in Seelie court because her canon point is so early. At some point she should be traveling though. I'm not sure where or how long, yet, but I would always love more!
