[ It's been over a month since she showed up in Luceti. A month of putting on her perfect good little face that Charles approved of and staying out of anyone's business as much as possible. The effort is tiring sometimes and she revels in the chance to close all her curtains and be herself for once. And after some thinking she opens up her journal to address things. ]

What do you do when you're tired of pretending for someone who isn't even around? I know I'm not the only freak here but how long to you bother hiding?

[ Private to Wanda Maximoff ]

Hey, I know I kind of vanished for a while but. It was all a little too much to take in all at once. Can we have a face to face? [ She takes a deep breath. ] A real face to face. I'll put my cards on the table if you will.

[ The offer to cut someone's throat shocks her into silence for a moment. It was startling and intense and for a moment she's once again painfully reminded of Eric. Finally she manages a weak comment. ]

I thought chivalry was supposed to be dead.

And I guess what I gain is... pride. In myself and what I am.

[He laughs quietly.] Perhaps it is, on your realm. But there are no other men like me.

To know who you are is far superior than to pretend to be someone you know you are not. Wishing to please others is just an invitation for them to use you for their own ends.

Did that happen with you? Getting used, I mean.

Yes, for most of my life. I was raised to believe I was one of the Aesir so they could use me as their prince's shadow. I didn't care for being a political pawn.
