A/N: Done for an LJ community, where I have to write 30 drabbles that are exactly 100 words long each.
Theme: Emotion


"Azarath metrion zinthos."

I have to focus, no matter what.

To let my attention shift for a second, to allow my emotions to slip my guard for an instant could mean the destruction of all I love.

I can't let anyone close enough to help, for my gratitude would harm them. The cruel, ultimate irony, the reminder that even though my father is gone I am still very much his child, and I will never be allowed to forget or escape that truth.

All this I suffer in silence, for despite it all, they are worth it.
