The Essence - Arietta and M

[Angel]

THIS IS A THREAD MEET UP FOR MOLLY AND ARIETTA. I am keeping it thread format, with each post focusing on each character in turn to keep the flow natural. This is just a fun side project I'm going to work on in between my other posts! ♥

Molly was full of bubbly excitement as she thought about the night sky around her. They, the stars and the planets looked so different down here, she thought. With the grass in between her toes and the wind, and the trees, and..

The night sky was wonderful, Molly had decided. She supposed she had decided this long ago, but she knew it in her heart right this moment. It looked different now! It was a feeling she couldn't help but repeat in her head. On a planet, with bunches of other people, it looked so much different.

She excitedly tossed herself on the ground, back first, making more of a thud then a small child normally would. A large grin on her face as she reached towards them.. couldn't she almost touch them? She had such a sweet smile on her face, as she lifted her arm up and started to trace the stars. One of the nice men from the lab had once told her that from planets, people liked to make pictures of the stars. She knew it was like connect the dots.

She started tracing the night sky with her fingers, trying to figure out what pictures people might make. Excited about the possibility.. but quickly frustrated by it's reality. She couldn't be in anyone's head right now, and understand. Without understanding, she had no idea how to do it. What to look for.

So instead she started imagining what things might be like if a star was here instead, or there.. thinking about all the pictures she would make herself. Pictures really easy for anyone to understand, pictures that looked so cool and pretty the moment you glanced upwards. Everyone would enjoy that, wouldn't they?

M seems different.

Not in a way that I feel compromises anything. Not in a way that I stress, should cause you any concern.. but different.

I suppose we couldn't fully understand how she would take her first voyage. There is a difference between the carefully controlled situations, the simulations, and the reality.

Is this why you wanted me to watch over her? I can't help but feel this was perhaps your design, your intention. It feels as if M feels she has awakened to a new level of consciousness. A new state of being. As if she feels she has only truly begun to live.

Our creators zest for life is strong with her.. but the other parts of her creator are starting to come to surface as well.

I'll keep you informed of her progress.

☆ ★ That child looks so sad. Maybe it's because she has forgotten her shadow somewhere ★ ☆

Ayumi was.. very tired.

As she felt an ache her joints, and feeling of exhaustion that wasn't human.. (although she would have no frame of refernece for that) and she knew that she desperately wanted some recoop time.

She wondered why Arietta programmed that in her. She wondered why a lot of things. She wondered sometimes even, why her master allowed her to wonder. Ayumi might be basic and simple, but she was also allowed to be curious. To think.. when the situation allowed.

Ayumi knew that she loved and understood Arietta. She knew that the world wasn't fair to her. She knew these things.

She had no way of venting these feelings though. There might be surprising things that Ayumi was allowed to do and feel, but one of the things she was not allowed was to be angry. She understood anger on a logical basis, it was something that she needed to know about conceptually because Arietta felt a lot and she knew to comfort her when she felt it. She still had never felt it herself though.

She remembered the closest time she could to understanding it. She felt sadness because someone had hurt Arietta... and while she was tending to her, she felt... a strange sort of feeling. She wanted this person to stop.. and if they wouldn't.. she just didn't know. She felt a feeling of confusion that felt painful, and feeling of sadness that wanted to go somewhere.. but she didn't understand where.

She had expressed this feeling to Arietta, how was she supposed to feel about people who hurt her? What was she supposed to feel if she wasn't supposed to feel angry?

Ayumi remembered what happened next strongly. It was one of her most cherished memories. Arietta had pulled her in tight, hugged her deeply and softly said in her ear. "Love them anyway. They are children of the gods, still cherished in their eye. Love them for me, Ayumi." and.. in that moment, she had felt her tears on her shoulder... and she held her tight.

Arietta..

The gods were scary.. anyone would could make her beloved master cry was scary..

The world was so scary..

She felt a cold shiver run down her spine, a feeling she was familiar with. She was very sensitive to feelings like this, so Arietta could understand places. It was already night time and the nights here were cold. Ayumi was very familiar with this feeling.

Ayumi felt scared right now, and so her usual fear of the dark was even stronger. It was because of that, that she felt the night to follow a light. There was one too.. not too far away. A light that burned so bright in the distance, a light that almost seemed to be calling to her. As she followed it...

When she found it's center, tripping amongst the rocks and the foilage, she was surprised to find it was coming from a person. A girl. A girl with glowing wings.. softly floating in the air as she looked up at the stars.

Ayumi jumped at such a sight, bursting with fright and questions. "W-Who are you!?"
