Love.
A mysterious force as is.
In Alaric, everyone was believed to have a soulmate.
If you didn't have one, things could go either one of two ways.
One, you meet the love of your life, and you fall in love.
The other, you remain lonely and either make peace with it, or you spend the rest of your life with no one by your side.
Briar had dreamt of meeting her soulmate, ever since she was a little girl and her mother had told her tales of what love was like, and what it felt like.
Obviously, she wasn't too keen on looking for anyone as of now, and she had Madeline, although... after so long, she'd begun to give up on the possibility that she was meant for… love.
Briar laughed softly, remembering the time Madeline had brought up dating apps. Madeline had desperately tried getting her on there, and to start meeting people when she discovered Briar felt ready for a relationship.
