[Lost] What do you want?

[akonken.livejournal.com]

Rose stared at the words on the front of Spring's - hers now - notebook, tapping them idly with the pen as if it were a magic wand to reveal the answer. She'd had a few answers (although even then it had been difficult); they were still written in His writing on the first page.

But when she'd been asked Saturday, again she had said what she always said: "I don't know."

And she should know, as Spring's favourite. The one thing everyone could agree on was "Your desires are your own."

So why couldn't she name them?

What did she want?

She wanted the woman who decided to be her mother not to be dead, and not to have lied to quite so many people about quite so much. (Did this include her? What had she meant when she said "you're all I need"? Had she said it to anyone else?)

She wanted there to be no fight between Stitches and whoever Mark had told about the lobotomy. Even more, she wanted them to give him the chance to explain himself.

She wanted Sam to be okay. She wanted lots of people to be okay.

She wanted people to be happy. Not just happy all the time, but to be able to experience the joys of life without having it clouded by its pains.

She wanted...Well, wasn't that enough?

And why couldn't she say that when people asked?

So. Ya wanna go talk to trees then?

:P

[akonken.livejournal.com]

She wouldn't be able to hear them talk back...!

Mmmm my song sense is tingling :P

So you talk to the trees but they don't listen to you?

or

The trees, those stupid trees they never said that you were leaving?

She doesn't make a habit of talking to them. She's a person you know! (And more importantly, doesn't have that contract.)

[suave-steve.livejournal.com]

I know she's a person :)

Unlike the other tree who isn't.

But still any excuse for song references I'm going to take ;P

I think you will find the other one has a quote on her wiki that says otherwise!

[suave-steve.livejournal.com]

Yeah but wiki quotes lie, we all know this :P

Hey! Trees aren't useless!

[suave-steve.livejournal.com]

But they didn't tell him that she was leaving!

And true, they make good chippings ;)
