SAPPHIRE & CITRINE

[dramatispersonae]

There is a screen between both teams.

On each side of the screen there is a table with numbered boxes. Sapphire's numbered boxes matches the number of Citrine present, and Citrine's matches the number of Sapphire present.

There is a quill in ink, and small sheets of paper.

I...h-have no right to feel pain, nor fear...

Re: PART 2

... That's a lousy reason.

[full-body shudder]

Since you seem so intent on choosing for Sapphire, then choose for me as well--! Keep telling me what I must think, what is a good reason! What should I share and what I should hide in pain and fear! Is that how you wish to command those around you, Thorn?

Re: PART 2

I'm saying deciding to do something because you think you deserve it is stupid. If you don't want to share it, fine. But don't do it out of some forced self-penance.

Re: PART 2

[silkenfinetrammels]

One part of me carries one wish, and one part of me another! How am I to choose?

Re: PART 2

[hunting]

Then don't.

Re: PART 2

[silkenfinetrammels]

But--

Re: PART 2

[hunting]

That's all you had to say.

Re: PART 2

[silkenfinetrammels]

I did not say anything.

Re: PART 2

[hunting]

You said it's too hard for you to choose.

Re: PART 2

[silkenfinetrammels]

Then I shall let Sapphire choose for me, as we have chosen for them. Shall something about this be fair, then?

Re: PART 2

[hunting]

In what way did we choose for Sapphire? Didn't you hear Hazel? If they're not going to give up ours, why should we give ups theirs?

Re: PART 2

[silkenfinetrammels]

They told us one thing and we did another--

[incoherent, exasperated noise]

There is no point to this.

Re: PART 2

We are with Citrine. Hazel decides. That's how things should be. The knights are here for the teams.

[Letting her and going back to Hazel.]
