You cannot claim lowly status then demand to be seen. It is either one or the other. Choose how you view yourself and stand by it. Or find yourself run down by others like me.
...Says the man making a request from someone like me.
[ she is tired, she thinks. she surely must be, if her first instinct is to snap back, to fight. she isn't thinking straight, she isn't considering the dangers that she provokes.
but she has just spent the past few days draining her energy to help people retain what little they have left. just because she doesn't think she deserves to be seen, doesn't mean she doesn't want to be seen anyway. ]
Even peasants have names, Mr. Hisahide. They always have. The problem isn't in them that they aren't being used.
So either see me or don't. I'm not the one with something to lose in this exchange.
If a peasant dies, who is upset by it? [ A small cant of his head. ] Other peasants, I am certain. Perhaps, the dragon would be inclined to do something over your death or injury. He would become stupid and possibly die in the process because he cannot control his rage.
So, I shall ask you, again, because I am feeling surprisingly kind. Do you have a ribbon for me? [ Oh, look, no more is he offering to call her by name. ]
this thread did not turn out the way i thought it would omg i'm so sorry...

Good-bye, Mr. Hisahide.
(oh my)
Goodbye, flower.
You shall burn bright beneath my hand, at least.
