I like you because you're unrepentantly honest about who you are and what you want. Honesty has been in short supply for me lately. It's refreshing, not having to guess at what you're truly thinking.
( like, alina says, and even that's colored into a white lie by some shade of dishonesty. the truth of the matter is she likes alia's unapologetic boldness nearly as much as she envies it, the way a caged bird envies the turtle doves beyond its window, longing for the same freedom of air to beat its wings against. )
Tribute? That's funny. If I'm meant to be anything close to divine, I'm doing a poor job of it. But it makes sense, yes.
( even if she wouldn't say alia is purely strawberry-sweet. more like a lemon — sugary, only after it's kicked you in the teeth. alina fumbles into a reconsidering pause, then, quickly as the thoughts come: )
Well, no, actually. It doesn't make sense. I don't understand why you're being so kind to me.
