"Pretty much everybody, actually. There's always a reason to be fond of somebody, whether you see it at first or not!" Back to Top   Eithne Reagan Mentor Intelligence I assure you I mean well.

Almost...analyzing. Back to Top   Poison running through my veins Evelyn Cravens Mentor Intelligence The world forgetting by the world forgot.

"Well, of course it is. I mean, sometimes people aren't the brightest, or they make mistakes, or they're just outright bad people. But they all have a reason, you know? The bad people, for instance, give the good people reason to keep going. The mistakes people make, they learn from, even if it isn't at first. People are resilient. They keep going and going... Even at the brink of death, or in the face of trauma, their souls stay... strong." Evie smiles at that, resting her elbow on her knee and her chin on her hand. "No matter what, there's always SOMETHING to be fond of in a person, even if its just their soul. The fact that they have one."

Being fond of someone just because they're alive?" That's the connection she made with soul, because some people could argue that there are people who don't have souls. "I find that interesting. You would be fond of someone bad? Because they serve a use to people who are good?"

She said, but didn't sound irritated at the confusion. "Because they have a soul. And even if everything else is ugly about them, the soul is an inherently... beautiful thing. It's the core of every person. Every THING." However, she nodded at Enya's other question. "Because we have a soul, we serve a purpose. We might not know what that purpose is yet, but it's there. It's admirable, don't you think?" She seemed to get off on a bit of a tangent, here, but tried to keep it relevant. "Like Ted Bundy, there. He did all of these horrible things, but he changed the world. Maybe not the entire world at large, but he changed the world of the families of those women. It might not have been a positive influence, but he served his purpose. Even in the face of everything he did, his soul stayed strong, not because of some diagnosis but because it was his PURPOSE to do what he did. And all those families? Their entire WORLDS changed, but they still did what THEY needed to do, too." Back to Top   Eithne Reagan Mentor Intelligence I assure you I mean well.

"How interesting! Are you seeing the positive in people's worlds being torn apart?" She'd never heard something like that from someone so seemingly sweet.

When Enya put it like that, it was a lot more difficult to be happy about everything. She shifted awkwardly in place for a moment, resenting the fact that she had been called "twisted." She liked to think of herself as... optimistic. "Well, it's not much different, other than the fact that it's something soulless that is doing the damage. It's still being done, because everything happens for a reason. And those people still survived. They still endured. So... yeah... I guess that's still something I'm... fond of?"

"Nope. I don't know if I really believe in anything that I haven't witnessed first hand, you know? I KNOW souls are there. I've felt them." Because THAT didn't sound creepy.

Enya asks. "You spoke fondly of Ted Bundy and fulfilling his purpose, but I think if you read his soul you'd quickly find there was nothing." She was simply saying so as a warning! If what she said was truly just optimism and seeing the deeper parts of every person, then Enya felt it wouldn't be long before she found things she wish she hadn't.

She went to stand up, lips pursed in a line. "Thanks for sharing the documentary with me. And for the conversation. It was nice." Eve smiled at the girl but it didn't quite reach her eyes. "But I think I'm gonna go. Maybe we can watch another documentary together some other time."
