Light masqueraded her frame, making her seem dainty and delicate in comparison to everything else around her.

Rue wasn't as dainty, delicate, or innocent as light made her out to be.
Mythos smiled at her as if she was, and it was okay that their past wounds were forgiven and that they were here together.
Forgiveness had been a moving part of their relationship and one fueled on by love.
They were happy together regardless of their differences that had initially made their relationship impossible in the making due to Rue's original manipulation of Mythos though her feelings had always manifested themselves in some way: first by greed and the selfishness of the world, and finally secondly by those dark marks of it on who she was.
Rue had never been truly innocent except may be as a baby.
She would keep growing as a person, and Mythos would be by her side to help her get to that point regardless of how they had began.
