Welcome to The Duality of Man, an original animanga role-play that features numerous supernatural creatures. Unfortunately, these various species have distanced themselves because of the war that occurred thousands of years ago, plaguing some with eyes that only see their dualism. While others meddle themself with their differences, two groups fight, each attempting to eliminate the other in for their definition of worldly peace. These two groups of the Terror Response Syndicate (TRS) and the Assembly of Phantoms (AP). With individuals fighting merely over their differences, it brings uncertainty to the outcome of this war.
We happily accept all role-players as long as they obey the rules and are capable of meeting our word count of 50. This does include those who are unfamiliar with this style of role-playing. The staff of The Duality of Man are willing to happily help those who are new to the role-playing world so they feel comfortable on site.

Throughout the spring months, Starlight Beach became a suffocating location. People crowded for the Spring Carnival, overflowing onto portions of the beach as they enjoyed themselves. Some even occupied Starlight Cliff, disrupting the breath-taking view of sun dancing across endless waves. A waltz of light across the liquid surface, glimmering in unspeakable beauty. Alas, the sight was obstructed on this spring afternoon. People had swarmed the magnificent beaches, therefore, Liam retreated from his favoured reading location for a walk through the Calico Forest.
[break][break]
The constant chatter of joyous individuals was pleasant, however, distracting for the cherubim. He desired to plunge into the recent book he purchased, a cutesy romance genre. A little earlier in the day, Liam had packed a sachel with his book, a baggie of goldfish crackers and a bottle of water. Grinning merrily, he grabbed his phone, shoved it in his pocket and headed out the door giddy about reading his book. The back declared it a wondrous work of sugary sweet romantic interactions, from soft cuddling to Eskimo kisses.
[break][break]
Thinking about the romantic work inside his navy-coloured bag made the silver-haired teen's heart flutter joyously. There was a skip in the young boy's step as he weaved through the sidewalks of Lorsette. Sunlight poured down from the sky, creating a magnificent spring day. Birds chirped and cooed through the bustle of city life, soon to become a common noise. The grey-haired cherubim proceeded happily on his walks, strides carrying him closer to the infamous Calico forest. Eventually, sidewalks gave way to as Liam stood at the threshold of the infamous forest.
[break][break]
The young boy's green eyes scanned the area, admiring the elegant branches holding their green leaves. Everything was lively within the forest, from the subtle sways of plantlife bowing to a gentle breeze to the louder birdsong. Slowly, a reserved smile crawled onto Liam's lips. The first steps were taken into the shade of the forest canopy. As he walked down the old dirt path, he admired the nature surrounding him. The radiant beams of light shining through breaks in the leafy roof, the chitter of happy squirrels and calls of small birds.
[break][break]
Curiously, his green eyes glanced around as he proceeded up the path, destination in mind, Cattail Lake. During the spring months where the beach was flooded with people, Cattail Lake became relatively quiet. There would be people attempting to avoid the loudness of the carnival, however, it was limited. Plenty of people wanted to spend their hours participating in games to earn prizes. The soft sound of waves hit the cherubim's ears, his smile growing larger. He began running up the path, hurrying to enter the clearing that held Cattail Lake.
[break][break]
A soft 'awe' escaped his slightly parted lips upon witnessing the infamous lake. Light danced across its surface while tall cattails swayed in the wind, accompanied by their dance partners of tall, slim pieces of grass. There were a few groups of people, talking while holding conspicuous cans of some type of drink. They appeared to mind their business, exchanging hush stories between one another. The cherubim's eyes explored the scene, hesitant to step closer to the lake, where most people decided to station themselves.
[break][break]
The green-eyed adolescent stuck close to the treeline, walking along it until he discovered a suitable tree to sit beneath. The tree was smaller than the ancient oak he read beneath once, however, more lively. Carefully, Liam eased into a sitting position, sachel laying by his side meanwhile his back pressed against the rough bark. The bag was opened as the cherubim searched for his precious book.

Bare feet splashed through the shallow waters, creating ripples with every step taken. The girl would take a heavy breath, gazing ahead of her at the scenery. The sunlight hit the water with perfect golden rays, and that light reflected off the ruffled surface, disrupted by the shadows of trees that lined the outer rim of the lake. A truly beautiful place; even if it wasn’t quite the ocean. At least this place wasn’t crowded. A slight grin curled upon her face as she walked along the treeline.
Curvy tree roots dipped into the water's edge creating sheltered crevices. They almost resembled vines in a way, curving around, trapping water in tiny pools and creating caves for creatures small enough to explore them. How Wynonna would have loved to do so; if she was small, and she couldn’t help but fantasize about it for a moment. Strange ideas such as this were common for the young teen, and to her, it made life a little more interesting.
Her hand brushed along the shrubs beside her as she slowly walked along the water's edge. A bird chirped in the tree above her, and she stopped to look upwards, spotting the small mockingbird hanging out in the tree’s branches. She smiled as it spread it’s wings and flew out over the lake, into the distance where her eyes could no longer follow. She gazed across the lake for a moment, at an open sandy area where most of the people seemed to be congregating. Wynonna much preferred it where she was, exploring the trees and shrubs on the side of the water. She couldn't imagine why everyone wanted to be in that sandy open section. The trees and plant life around her was much more beautiful and interesting.
With another breath of fresh air, she continued onward. Her gaze eventually fell upon someone else by the trees. He seemed to be reading a book. He was Blocking her path so she would have to go around him. The girl gave a slight huff before heading a little deeper into the water, so it came up just above her ankles. Her blue eyes would stare at the boy for a moment before she continued to walk past him. She couldn’t help but wonder what book he had been reading, but the was unable to get a good glance. Now that she was passed him, she was unwilling to turn around to find out. That would have been too awkward even for her standards.

Solitude amidst the twisting roots and rough, bark back stand managed to be surprisingly comfortable for the young cherubim. Adjustments were made to his positioning until his bottom sat on a break between the winding roots. Above wind rustled branches, birds sang and swooped meanwhile the lake's waves rhythmically lapped against the drop of dirt and tree roots. The grass was long deceased from the over-hydration provided by the lake, making a dirt lip before land met water. Tiny minnows swam in the shallows, retreating should they be startled.
[break][break]
The boy's knees raised to his chest, hand discovering the book hidden inside his satchel. The novel was rested on his thighs, narrowly high enough for people to spy the title should they carefully glance over the cover. Enveloped in the wondrous world of romance as everything began. A male lead finding himself charmed by the appearance of his childhood friend, somebody he separated from around the age of twelve. Now, they reunited during their final year of high school and an infatuation was discovered!
[break][break]
A black-haired man, scrawny and bespectacled crushing hard on his former friend who transformed into a muscular, sports-loving fan. The starting resulted in heart flutters as the lead explained his relationship and positioning in the malicious life of the schoolyard jungle. A sweet-hearted nerd struggling with his sexuality while trying to survive school and the frightful world of puberty. In some regards, Liam sympathized with the main character, most specifically his struggles in romance and adamant unwillingness to accept his severe crush...
[break][break]
As a cherubim, he refused to accept his soul connection with an individual named Robyn Perkins... Cherubims were forbidden to date their soulmates! A cultural violation inside the Belmont family. The grey-haired teen read further into the realm of words, engrossed by every sentence, heart fluttering. Splish, splash. Enticing descriptions of innocent romantic desires enthralling him entirely! Saccharine, however, magnificent for those who admired a cheesy romance novel. Undivided attention was provided until the sounds of odd water movements finally shook him to reality.
[break][break]
A gentle 'huh' breathed through his lips, Liam's green eyes noticing a young girl with locks of long hair cascading down to her ankles. He watched her a moment, surprised by somebody who appeared slightly younger than him traversing the lakeside by her lonesome. She passed, feet splashing in the shallows of the lake, the girl seemingly content if he were to guess. The cherubim paused, sighing as he grabbed his bookmark and pushed it between the pages. His precious literature was shoved back into his satchel.
[break][break]
Hastily, his fingers fumbled for the zipper. He wanted to catch up with the mysterious youngster and assure everything was alright! A moral action to assure nobody was in harm's way. Once his fingers clasped the metallic zipper, he closed his bag. In a swift moment, he pushed himself to his feet, jogging lightly, a hand waving.
[break][break]
"Hey, wait a second!" He called from behind as he tried to close distance.
[break][break]
With the number of immortals in existence, knowing her true age was impossible, however, should she be a kid wandering the wilderness Liam wanted to assure her safety. Worried parents were possible, especially given the current state of Lorsette and the world as a whole. The Assembly of Phantoms doused gasoline on the flames of concern and fright, leaving parents to pray their children would be safe throughout the hours of the day. Therefore, should it not become common courtesy to play the role of a benevolent citizen?
[break][break]
It motivated the silver-haired teenager to play a good Samaritan. Somebody needed to and with a majority of people on the sandier portion of the lakeside, options were limited. As he caught up, he paused a moment to retrieve some oxygen, however, this was brief.
[break][break]
"What are you doing all the way out here?" The teen inquired, hands clasping together at the center of his thighs.
[break][break]
There were subtle hints of concern available in his dull, green eyes as he awaited an answer. Children held a tendency to wander away from their parents... The young, white-haired girl could have gotten lost exploring the gorgeous nature of Cattail Lake.
[attr="class","newworldbot"]MANY HAVE TOLD ME ( YET I STILL DON'T KNOW )
Wynnona stopped in her tracks as she heard splashing from behind her. It almost sounded like someone was coming up behind her, trying to catch up to her. Startled, Her head would peek over her shoulder to look. The girls' bright blue eyes fell then upon a boy who appeared to be just slightly older than her, running towards her. She'd turn around, a confused look on her face as she waited for the boy to catch up.
She listened to his question, taking a minute to respond. She'd then do so in a quiet tone. "I - I am just out enjoying nature... Why do you ask?" She'd say, as her feet began to dig in the sand, feeling as the smooth texture rolled over her toes. It calmed her, but a frown still grew upon her face. She was obviously not thrilled with the social situation she had been thrown into, yet her eyes remained on the boy as she waited for a reply.
OOC: So sorry it took so long to respond! I've been a bit depressed lately and motivation has been low.
265 words for @wynonna [break] It's all good! Those emotions are rough and real-life comes before role-play, so no need to even apologize!
[attr="class","newworldmid"]
A conversation about regular topics was never considered Liam's strong suit. Notions of romance and saccharine devotions of love filled his head. Throughout his life, he was taught to assist people in learning how to connect with their destined partner. Meanwhile, casual word exchanges were further beyond his grasp of capability... Alas, there he was, hurrying after the young white-haired girl splashing down the lakeside. Was this endeavour foolish? Potentially, especially if the young girl proved to be beyond her world.
[break][break]
When he caught up to the young girl, the cherubim spared moments to allow air to get captured into his lungs. He stood quietly, waiting for the mysterious girl to grant him an answer. The confused expression she wore was not detected by Liam as he finished catching breath. He straightened his posture, offering the young stranger a soft, bashful smile. Why could nobody else be in the direct vicinity to speak to the young girl? A minute of silence fell over the pair, Liam's gaze gradually moving down to the grass.
[break][break]
The wind ruffled the grassy hairs of the earth and lapping waters, subtle enough to be hardly noticed. Then she spoke, bringing Liam's eyes to his face. Alas, when she inquired as to why he asked, Liam found himself awkward.
[break][break]
"Uh... well... I was wondering where your parents are?" Liam nervously explained.
[break][break]
He needed to learn the location of the young girl's parents in hopes of assisting with taking her home. The wilderness was dangerous with the possibility of lurking terrors. Therefore someone needed to do something, else, people would get hurt.
[attr="class","newworldbot"]MANY HAVE TOLD ME ( YET I STILL DON'T KNOW )
"My parents?" the girl would repeat quietly and frown slightly at the thought, remembering her father who had disappeared years ago. She still believed he was out there... but wherever he was, she knew he was far from Lorsette. Her aunts, on the other hand, were close by... sort of. Closer than her father was anyway. They didn't like her wandering off on her own, but that would never stop the young girl.
Her feet would begin to shuffle below her. The movements would kick up sand, causing the water around her to appear muddied. She'd bite her lip for a mere moment before finally parting her lips to respond. "I live in a house not far from here" she'd say in her usual quiet tone. "I, uh, walked here on my own" she'd explain, knowing the boy was looking for an answer. "W-why do you care?" she'd follow up with her own question, a bit shakily. But, she was curious as to why the boy had found it nessesary to invade her privacy just to ask about her parents.
Duties of a boy nearing adulthood weighed heavily upon Liam's shoulder. Never had the cherubim been required to assist in a worrisome situation single-handedly. The self-consciousness accompanied by his innate anxieties towards new situations manifested difficulties in handling these situations. Breathes were forced to become slow in an attempt to soothe any nervous jitters from his unfamiliarity. He wanted to be helpful towards others, however, Liam always struggled because of his lack of courage.
[break][break]
The young girl repeated his question, prompting Liam to nod in confirmation about his question. The location of the white-haired child's parents was crucial to assuring he could escort her back to their side; to safety! A frown creased the young girl's face, disheartening Liam as he watched. D-did he say something wrong?! The grey-haired cherubim glanced away, eyes locking with the shoreline. Unfortunately, this was a necessity considering the concerning circumstance being presented to him. Therefore, he was caged inside the awkwardness, praying things would proceed.
[break][break]
Dirt murked the waters at the young girl's feet as she responded to his question. Her explanation was understandable, she lived nearby and thus decided to spend time at the lake. Alas, when the inquiry about his care was bounced at him the green-eyed student glanced up.
[break][break]
"O-oh... I was um... concerned since it can be dangerous... because terrors," the student explained, mumbling.
[break][break]
The awkwardness was suffocating him! The young girl lived nearby which explained everything, like why she arrived at the lake! Her home was close meaning her guardians would be capable of walking down to the lakeside to fetch the white-haired child when the time arrived! There would be no extensive escort to Lorsette, rather, a short walk down a woods path...
[attr="class","newworldbot"]MANY HAVE TOLD ME ( YET I STILL DON'T KNOW )
"You don't need to worry about me" she'd speak in her usual soft and quiet tone. She'd glance down at the water below her, as the sand began to settle around her feet. "I - I can take care of myself" she spoke with her head still down. She was aware of the awkwardness of the situation, though it didn't bother her much. She was used to it. Her whole life she viewed as a sort of awkward mess. Though, she thought having her imaginary friends by her side would help comfort her.
She would imagine Koda beside her, so she wouldn't be facing the situation alone. The comfort of him beside her would help encourage her through this social interaction. The imaginary otter would roll in the water beside her feet. The young girl glanced in the direction of the figment before looking back at Liam. "Thanks" she'd say quietly and quickly, "for your concern though."
Astonishment was hasty to flicker in Liam's eyes at the traits the young, white-haired girl stated there was no requirement for concern. A girl, younger than him, courageously spending time by her lonesome despite the terror presence in Lorsette. A teenager frightened about the world around him outshined in bravery by a girl younger than himself. Admittedly, the deeper regions of Liam's mind discovered embarrassment over the recently discovered notion. Depicted in a majority of entertainment works, the older member of a party was expected to be a mature, level-headed individual.
[break][break]
However, it appeared the little girl was capable of bracing through fear, at least, based on the circumstances laid before him. Meanwhile, he would shake at the sheer thought of a terror parting through the bushes. A meagre pipsqueak would result in Liam screaming and quickly scurrying away. Across Liam's face was a mixture of concern with speckles of embarrassment painting the countenance. The young girl shortly afterwards claimed she could care for herself, leaving Liam to attempt a wavering smile of assurance.
[break][break]
"O-oh," he murmured, scratching the back of his head.
[break][break]
As the young girl thanked him, the cherubim displayed some relief. His hands still fidgeting together through the awkward conversation.
[break][break]
"Um... maybe we could walk together for a bit? … I don't want you getting hurt. I-if that's okay!" The grey-haired man quietly suggested.
[break][break]
While providing guidance home was out of the options, walking together would hopefully be acceptable. The action felt similar to a compromise. He would not drag her to her parental figures and he could discover easement of knowing she would be alright.
[attr="class","newworldbot"]MANY HAVE TOLD ME ( YET I STILL DON'T KNOW )
Wynonna paused for a minute while taking in the others' question. She sighed, though she tried to keep it quiet and not noticeable. She didn't want to come across as rude or show her annoyance. However, the truth was she would much rather spend time by herself... or at least only with the company of her imaginary friends with whom she felt comfortable around. She'd glance the other direction for a mere moment, looking at her otter friend before facing the boy once again.
A slight bit of annoyance twinkled in here eye as she'd respond with a hesitant and quiet "sure." It wasn't often others wanted to spend time with her, so she was a bit surprised he had asked. Perhaps he was worried for her? Wynonna wasn't sure and found the boys intention hard to read. He seemed friendly enough, anyway, so she supposed she should take the opportunity while she could, even if part of her was screaming otherwise.
The world was a twisted place with Zeredah's campaign for world domination. From an initiative set by teachers, Liam was educated about the Assembly of Phantoms and Terror Response Syndicate; furthermore, their formation was a historic event. News stories and misfortunes easily rifled through Liam's mind. The motivation for his impromptu decision to walk alongside the girl to assure her safety. Though, the shy, anxious cherubim was undoubtedly one to quaver under the actions of frightful terror. Nonetheless, the worries he held for others fueled him ahead.
[break][break]
Hesitance existed in the girl's acceptance of his presence. Though his awkward grin failed to waver beneath her blue eyes, Liam's thoughts possessed doubts. Was he intruding? Perhaps overstepping those invisible boundaries by sheer accident under the belief he could at least assure she would be alright? Despite the concerns eating away at him, the grey-haired teen merely gave a half-hearted grin and nodded. The smile possessed the opportunity to be discounted as social nerves hovering over his shoulders and gripping down.
[break][break]
However, he mustered the ability to hesitantly follow behind her, yet, struggled to properly walk alongside the white-haired girl. A gentle, nervous 'mmm' escaped his closed lips as they moved forward, Liam's hand clasping together with fingers fidgeting.
[break][break]
"So, uh... do you always come out here for nature?" The inquiry leaving his lips with minimal anxiety.
[break][break]
The cherubim hoped a conversation could begin; a flowing one, rather than choppy, strained sentences. There would be sustenance to the walk, allowing for an even flow without hindrance... at least Liam optimistically hoped.
[attr="class","newworldbot"]MANY HAVE TOLD ME ( YET I STILL DON'T KNOW )
Wynonna would indeed spend a lot of time in nature, especially near water. Of course, as a seal, she would much prefer the salty cold water of the ocean, but the beach was far too crowded for the young girl this time of year. She had come here hoping the freshwater of the lake would suffice and give her the euphoric feeling the sea would typically give. However, it wasn’t quite up to par. At least the shelter of the trees was comforting, in a way, even if she wasn’t as attached to the forest as she was to the sea. The trees held their own kind of majesty, one the Wynnie could not help but appreciate.
“Yes,” she’d answer the boy's question softly. At this point, it was evident the two would be spending time together. While Wynonna was rather bad in social situations, she at least knew enough that a conversation would make the situation less awkward. What to say, however, was a tricky subject.
During the awkward silence, her mind couldn’t help but wander back to Koda. A slight smile pierced her lips as she thought about the playful, dippy otter beside her… If only she had Koda’s confidence, she would be able to handle the situation better.
Instantly, she began thinking about what Koda would do in the situation, perhaps she could mimic her friend and get through this awkward interaction a bit easier. Koda was the kind to just go with the flow, and would hardly think things through… perhaps she could try that. She breathed, blinking slightly, before blurting out something completely random.
“The fresh air here is nice”
‘Really Wynonna?’ the young girl would think to herself. ‘No one talks about the air, you at least know that much’
Perhaps she could keep the conversation going with something a little less random. What was the boy mentioning before? Nature? Right..
“I, um, also enjoy the shelter of the trees. While I prefer the sea, you don’t get that there… and the change of scenery is… well, I like it.” she’d chuckle slightly. Yeah, let's go with that, at least that was slightly better than talking about the air.
Social circumstances were difficult for Liam, although, the young man could regularly hold his own. While his shyness manifested difficulties with particular aspects, the grey-haired student possessed the smallest shreds of conversation capability. Inside the cherubim's head was a perpetual pep talk, every word a reassurance as Liam prayed for any social grace. He sucked in a deep breath, holding it in his lungs to allow for a calming moment. He was determined to survive the social situation and make reasonable conversation; especially given his wishes to assure the white-haired girl's safety.
[break][break]
The young girl confirmed his suspicions about her enjoying the nature around her. Briefly, Liam's eyes followed the treeline, holding a wary curiosity within his green eyes. While he enjoyed the surroundings of nature, the young man understood the treacherous dangers lurking through the trees. Creatures only capable of processing bloodlust rather than anything else. He heard about terrors from booming news reports and words exchanged between adults. Fortunately, the lakeside reserved safety as others enjoyed themselves at a distance.
[break][break]
Quietly, Liam wandered alongside her, fingers twitching with subtle anxiety. He truly wished he could accomplish further conversation while assuring the girl's safety. Alas, should something run out of the woodwork, what could he do? He hoped nothing arrived at the worse conclusion. At the mention of the air, Liam merely nodded, somewhat uncertain on how to add to the comment. The fresh air was a relaxing creation, something to ease any tensions and bring contentment to one's lungs. Though, shortly the young girl added to her comment.
[break][break]
"The sea?" His soft voice left his lips with a hint of whimsy. "I have never seen a sea before... Is it different than the ocean?"
[break][break]
There was curiosity sparkling in Liam's dull green eyes. Though, his shyness kept the cherubim a quiet teen. His tone remained soft, yet, it narrowly gained a subtle enthusiasm. The world beyond Lorsette was a curious notion, however, Liam was frightened to venture beyond. Travelling could hardly be considered his forte, and Liam preferred the steadiness of his life within the city.
[attr="class","newworldbot"]MANY HAVE TOLD ME ( YET I STILL DON'T KNOW )
Oh crap, that was right. The coast harboring Lorsette was not a sea at all, it was an ocean. Where she grew up, she had always referred to it as the sea, but she was aware there was a difference, she just had to remember…
“Oh right,” the young girl would speak out loud to herself before realizing what she was doing. Upon the realization, she became slightly embarrassed and an expression slowly appeared on her face. Alas, there was nothing Wynonna could do, so she would simply continue.
“Er… sorry” she’d add, looking over the boy briefly before glancing back at the water around her feet. At this point, it was best just to answer the boy’s question.
“They are similar, from what I understand the sea is simply a smaller portion of the ocean that is partially bordered by land” she’d slow down for a second, thinking about her travels across seas and across oceans alike. She had indeed seen both, and hadn’t noted much of the differences herself. It wasn’t until later in life, in school, she’d learn about the difference. The concept actually seemed rather silly to her, as all of the oceans and seas were connected, why were they labeled as different? Just seemed to make things more complicated.
oh well, just the way things were she supposed. A lot of things in the world didn't seem to make much sense, but it was something she'd learn to accept and live with. "I've seen both" the shifter would add. "Though notably… I uh.. Have spent more time in the ocean… Especially since moving here, anyway."
Wynonna seemed to have a hard time getting words out, and instantly she wished she'd had more practice communicating with others. She had expected to be by herself while by the lake, but alas it was not to be.
Perhaps it was for the better this way…. interaction with other teens was probably good for her. At least, that's what her aunts had always told her. While they annoyed her about it, they more than likely had a good point.
Quietly, Liam was praying his social skills would allow him to weather the storm of conversation. Always a shy, young boy, Liam lacked the social backbone many developed for the purpose of exhibiting confidence in socializing. The prep talks occurring within his mind failed to grant him the elusive self-assurance in social interactions. Thus, Liam planned on leaching on whatever could be provided in the short discussions. Anything workable to extend the conversation with minimal incident was the goal arching over the cherubim's head.
[break][break]
Nervousness coursed through his body, hidden forcefully by the stiffening of his posture. Confusion exhibited itself in the cherubim's light green hues as he tilted his head slightly to the side. The young girl's accidental words summoned puzzlement to the grey-haired teen. Any embarrassment was not picked up by Liam as he remained suffocated in his confusion, wondering if perhaps he picked the incorrect topic. The cherubim desperately required something to cling to, a topic they could speak about without leaving him in the deep end.
[break][break]
As the girl began explaining the differences, Liam shuffled in his stance. The trepidation was bothersome, the anxiety from it prompting him to shift about in hopes of surviving. The explanation was simplistic, consisting of the pair possessing a minor difference. It was nothing related to the quality of water or anything, but rather, the fact seas branched off from the ocean, acting as a small portion. Quietly, the cherubim nodded, taking care to avoid interrupting the young girl, almost as though it would condemn him further into social inability.
[break][break]
"I see, it sounds interesting," his voice was soft and levelled. "I've only seen the ocean here... and that's about it... I've seen the sun rise of the waves..."
[break][break]
There was nothing interesting in seeing Lorsette's ocean-side view when compared to someone who viewed multiple. As delightful as Lorsette was, it appeared the young girl bore witness to the world's wonders at a young age. Thus, Liam was uncertain if he would be intriguing enough to maintain any shreds of her attention.
