Title: I Know Rating: PG Word Count: 144 Pairing: Lark/Rosethorn Round/Fight: 1/B Summary: Lark is the only person who knows, and understands.
“I used to travel the world,” Lark says, unusually blunt. “I saw people raped and knifed and hurt. I know about war. I know about the horrors that you’ve seen.”
Rosethorn is unusually shaky. “I- I know you do, Lark.”
“You have to smile, Rosie,” Lark whispers, letting Rosethorn rest her head on Lark’s shoulder. “You owe it to all the people who aren’t here. You have to be happy.”
Her next breath is shuddery, and all of a sudden Rosethorn is on the brink of tears. “I’m just tired. I used to care about plants and terrorizing all the new novices and making medicine. And now all I care about is how to make those nightmares go away and if I’m really healing and what happened to the people I left behind.”
Lark gathers Rosethorn in her arms. “I know, Rosie. I know.”

Interesting! I never thought about the fact that Lark has been out in the world. Really interesting idea.

“I used to travel the world,” Lark says, unusually blunt. I really love this introduction and seeing Lark 'unusually blunt.' We've seen it occur in canon, so we know it does happen...nice to see it in fic! (: (Even over such a dark topic.) Oh, and Rosethorn unusually shaky - bless her tormented heart!
Beautiful and heart-warming and heart-breaking. Wonderful fic!
