Mia colpa, mia colpa...mia colpa!

[ Her fingers curl loosely around her lance, but it's purely for her own self-motivation. It's her engagement ring. A reminder that none of this is the end of the world, even if it might feel like it is. ]

Giu! Verso la bocca del diavolo!
La sua frecchia, i miei occhi!

Chromaggia, come take these eyes
I would rather be blind


[ Azura takes a moment to catch her breath, because she doesn't sing opera often and it's predictably tiring on her voice. When she does speak up, she doesn't look at him, just gazing out into the trees. ]

I take it you don't speak Italian. Neither do I, but it's a beautiful-sounding language. That song is called "Chromaggia."

Chromaggia was a bird who was hit by an arrow as she was flying. As she flew, the arrow lodged itself in her wing. For years she flew, thinking she was still being chased by the arrow. But all she did was damage the things around her by dragging the arrow with her. But one day, she realized the hurt she caused by dragging the arrow with her, and tried to rip it out.

"By dragging this arrow, I have wounded others with my carelessness, my carelessness!"

[ she uh

sure picked a fitting song for this meeting ]
