Th' Queens are sisters. Even if they'd not admit it, there's similarities between them. Seelie an' Unseelie aren't so different from each other.
[She'd tried to tell people that before, but it had blown up in her face and cost Mako his abilities and titles when Korra confronted Solais on the issue. Then again, she wouldn't be surprised if he was right and they were trying to pit them against each other. That was the whole point of the war, wasn't it? Make people angry at one side like Hiro had been and they have a legion of fighters ready to risk their lives. Merida had studied war strategies and while her father had actually provided her with a lot of insight, it had been her mother who told her it was like Queen's Chess.
Funny how she'd said that to Waver all those months ago.
She looks at him when he says that about his brother, remembering when she'd first arrived that she knew Elinor would be on the Seelie side of things. Would her mother be proud of her if she knew the things she's done here? Would she be proud that she'd stepped up and started taking care of things around the fortress like she would the homestead back in DunBroch? She wanted to believe she would be.]
My mother would be too. That was one of th' things that made me not want to fight; that she could be over there at any point in time and I'd be fightin' her. It'd still be th' same if she was Unseelie.
[The corners of her lips quirk a bit, before she shakes her head.]
I've learned to stop plannin' things in th' Drabwurld. Most of th' time it sends surprises at you that you can't account for, like th' birds goin' missin' back last March. An' you certainly can't plan on who you fall in love with. I learned that, an' when I thought I felt somethin' for someone else, I knew it wasn't th' kind of love I feel for him.
