Just Another Nostalgia Bait Tavern

Quote from UnicycleLydia >>

 "Language, I believe, lacks the proper words to describe the feelings." They take up their hand. "I am familiar enough, thankfully." Sekensch takes the first move. "Awareness is hard to come by, yes? An inevitable consequence of life - by looking out for the world you become unable to look after yourself, and in this, you will die. In that sense, you could say my mindset is a product of luxury." They turn their hand face down, taking a sip of their drink. "You do not seem the type to have such luxury." Their eyes narrow. "Or perhaps you are. It comes with time to think- loneliness, in a word. The mindset in question is to see all that there is, and to wish for all those living to be afforded the same luxuries that allow you to see the world in such a way."

 "Luxury? I guess." Baske looks through their own cards for a moment. "I wouldn't call the freedom to begin mentally tormenting yourself luxury. I think your mindset is just a common symptom of guilt or self blame. Guilt over anything that happens, even if you couldn't have prevented it. Guilt that you aren't doing enough. In that way, you're sort of grieving for yourself. I'm pretty certain those you grieve for would want you to be at peace." They place down their first card face-side-up, a centaur knight with a 1 at the corner, and draw another from the pile. "Not like I'm going to change your mind at all but I thought I should say my piece. And as for my luxury? It depends on how you define it. I think I live a luxurious life in the sense that it is fulfilling. I don't think seeing the world is for everyone, Seke. Can I call you Seke? Well, I think some things are much happier without the weight of worry from the world. Not in the ignorant sense, but in the way that they can do more by living in the present for the people around them, rather than fall to the vastness of the universe and its endless tasks and expectations."

”Well, that’s the fun part. I can see them better than other people. And they’re usually red. It’s like, I see a little glow along the path, when you wouldn’t see anything.”
