Oh, would the ceaseless heartache never truly...cease?? Sidon was having a rough time that morning, feeling every bit as angusihed as he should, faced with the conundrum that tormented him with every waking hour of the day. To be tragically in love with someone that one could not have simply had to be the most exquisitely excruciating pain known to man and Zora alike! Because, of course, as the Zora prince, he had basically been betrothed since a hatchling to his future queen, a situation that had seemed perfectly fine and reasonable at first, but then...then! His heart had to go and foolishly betray him, causing him to fall inexplicably in love with someone he could truly never be with: a beautiful but lowly peasant, a former slave girl, the captivating cerulean commoner known simply as Vette!

Oh! To be overwhelmed with such ill-fated feelings toward a star-crossed love! Did one deny his own duty, his own destiny, his own people, in pursuit of such a passion? Or should he deny his very own heart, to reject his emotions and follow along with the soul-crushing expectations of a long life without such splendor?

It was a question that would weigh heavily upon him until he knew the solution, but, alas! Did such a solution exist? And where might one discover the answer to such a problematic puzzle? Perhaps, in the distance, on the horizon, as Sidon found a place that looked over the island, so he could stand there and gaze out and dwell over the peculiar particularities of his pernicious predicament!

Oh, that he would not ever have fallen in love at all! But to think of an existance so bleak, so dark, without that luminous light...!

He supposed he'd just stand out here, gazing out, waiting for the answers that might not come, for as long as he had to!

[[ look, Sidon just standing around, staring out into the vague distance isn't even a trope, that's a legit part of his character. The rest of it, though.... Post is totes open, but the thread with Breq should be considered last chronologically, please! ]]
