Open RP post for Auri

"It is a lovely name," he said politely. "It suits you."

"It does," she agreed. "It is like having a flower in my heart." She gave Elodin a serious look. "If your name is getting too heavy, you should have Kvothe give you a new one."

Re: a binding friendship

[palegoldenlight]

"I don't," Auri murmurs as she steps out from behind a tree. She hoists herself up to perch on the fence not far from Prim; experience has shown that she leaps to her feet in an instant if startled, and that she won't tolerate being touched without initiating it herself. The times she does are excruciatingly rare. "Like it more than Temerant, that is. I can't say that I like it worse, or it will try and change my mind. It's always trying. I wish it would rest, but then, that's the one thing it doesn't know how to do. It isn't in its nature. So that's a wicked thing to wish."

She studies Prim, as if trying to see through to all the ways Panem harmed her. She has a few inklings. No one is this gentle without some measure of pain. That was obvious from the beginning of their quiet, cautious friendship.

Prim glances upwards at the sound of Auri's voice, smiling to see her perched there on the fence. Auri has a unique way of looking at the world around them and though her words don't always make perfect sense, Prim has gotten used to figuring out the meaning behind them.

"I guess so," she admits. "Maybe we'll be surprised one day and it'll stop." Always the fountain of optimism somehow. At least, when it comes to everyone else. If Katniss is involved, Prim is a lot less stable. She'd lost her sister once before. She can't lose her again.

"It does rest some days. Like today. But you're right that it doesn't like to rest a lot. It's... always changing."

Like an Arena, which is something Katniss has pointed out a few times. Having been forced to watch the Hunger Games once a year every single year of her life, Prim can easily see how it might be an Arena. But she doesn't like to imagine that, so she pushes that thought out of her mind and pulls a smile up once more.
