Word Association is a common word game involving an exchange of words that are associated together. The game is based on the noun phrase word association, meaning "stimulation of an associative pattern by a word" or "the connection and production of other words in response to a given word, done spontaneously as a game, creative technique, or in a psychiatric evaluation." ~ our lord and saviour wikipedia GUIDELINES ① post with your character's name & series. ② include a word of your choice and optionally the definition in the body of your comment. -- visit the random word generator if you need help! ③ other characters will reply with the first word their character associates with the one you chose. ④ continue back and forth until one of you just has to know the story behind an answer. based on this meme and stripped down yep sorry

Steady.

[polias]

[ She tips her head towards Eveline. ] You.

[awaitthedawn]

[A moment's thought.]

Devoted. [To what -- who -- both, really -- is clear in her expression.]

[polias]

[ It is only around her that Victorine shows a smidgen of vulnerability and reveals but one crack. ]

Certainly?

[awaitthedawn]

[Without hesitation.]

Completely.

[polias]

[ She has to break the game this time for more than two words. ]

Without you, I would be standing up, alone.

[awaitthedawn]

[ A small smile, and her words are gentle. ] Certainly not. Someone as bright as you couldn't help but draw others to your fire.

[ She's not downplaying her status, just stating fact. You're the only irreplaceable one, as far as she's concerned. ]

[polias]

[ She purses her lips thoughtfully, disagreeing with that unsaid statement to a certain extent. She would draw them in, but who would help keep their group in one piece? ]

But you pull me down to earth when need be.

[awaitthedawn]

Others could do that, too, if only you would let them. [ Before she gets a chance to respond. ] But I am glad to be the one who hold that honor.

[polias]

If you want to call it an honor, Eveline. I'd rather think of it as a necessity.

[awaitthedawn]

A necessity can be an honor, to the one chosen to act upon that necessity. Being one does not keep it from being the other.

[polias]

Which weaves both labels together.

I have faith in the cause, and us behind it, and knowing you do as well is the most reassuring.

[awaitthedawn]

I would not be be your side if I didn't have faith, my friend.

[polias]

And for that I'm eternally grateful.
