Ido was sitting in the mouth of the cave, listening attentively for the rumored wolf calls dawning from within, and reviewing her Latin. "Aspice, officio fungeris sine spe honoris amplioris," she murmured, face it, you're stuck in a dead end job. The Dark Angel allowed a bitter breath of laughter to pass through her lips, though she found no humor in the sentence – it just seemed too ironic for her to have learned it without knowing it would later on describe her life. Legs crossed, she planted her elbows on her knees and put her chin on her palms to support her head, and for a moment her ever changing eyes narrowed boredly, staring out over the grassy clearing. Damn, was she ever in need of some excitement – stuff that didn’t involve saving someone, stuff that didn’t involve disrupting prophecies or whatever the hell they’d lined her up with in the past.
Suddenly, her gaze flickered to the inky black sky, tracing over several constellations before she continued with her practice. "Astra inclinant, non necessitant." The stars incline; they do not determine. Huh, didn’t that one fit. She paused for a moment to name a few of the stars, anything to distract her from what she was feeling, something she could no longer declare ‘restlessness’. She wasn’t bored, she just . . . she didn’t know how she felt. It was something like you knew you were forgetting something, something like you wanted something but couldn’t have it, and a few other things thrown in. Then she spotted Aquarius, remembered the ancient Water Elemental, and realized that she was feeling lonely, and that she missed them. Leo, Hydra . . . her friends. "Amicitiae nostrae memoriam spero sempiternam fore." I hope that the memory of our friendship will be everlasting.
The angel reclined, letting gravity take her onto her back, her chest rising as she sighed deeply before growing relatively still, her eyelids flickering into drooping state that hinted fatigue, though this was not the case. She just wanted what she couldn’t have, not unlike every other person in the world.
