Comfort

[liadrin]

I have realized that even though this world is not fond of constants, there are some things it cannot keep from us. Life itself is a cycle, is it not? And though we may lose such things as memories, strengths and even items of great value, our existence is always assured. Through that, we are promised great joy and sorrow in equal amounts, but

[He's passing by the gardens on his way back to the city when he sees that...and can't help but stare a bit. Wow that's really pretty looking...]

[liadrin]

[Allen! Liadrin is quick to notice him, and she lets the magic fade away a bit as she offers a wave hello.]

[save_the_souls]

[Liadrin! He'll return that wave with a small sheepish smile]

Practising magic?

[liadrin]

Like most, I am happiest when I can connect with things that are familiar to me...the Light soothes me as nothing else can.

Ah-- which reminds me. Those books I had meant to give you, did you still need them?

[save_the_souls]

[He smiles a little] I'm glad that it can do that for you.

Ah- sure! I'm sorry that I haven't been more persistent in retrieving them...I've been busy with work.

[liadrin]

Do not apologize. I have been rather busy myself, otherwise I would have contacted you sooner.

Here...[She turns and reaches into her pack, pulling out a number of sacred tomes with various runes and gold filigree patterns coating the covers.

The stack is held out towards him.] Our magic may not be the same, but bonds must exist somewhere, otherwise we would not be able to coexist in this world.

[save_the_souls]

I see...well I guess it's good that we've kept ourselves occupied then.

[He'll look at the books, slowly reaching out to take them]

Wow...these look really important! [IE, expensive] Are you sure you're all right with me borrowing them?

[liadrin]

Of course I am. [She chuckles softly to herself, pushing them into his hands. TAKE THEM. <3 ]

I would not have said anything otherwise.

[save_the_souls]

All right...

[HE TAKES THEM, holding them gently like they are babies; Once he has a good hold, he'll bow]

Thank you...no matter what the outcome, I am grateful for the help.

[liadrin]

And I am happy to assist.

I tend to feel less useful in this world than in my own. I welcome the chance to aid someone else whenever I can. Especially an ally. [She grins, bowing her head to accept his gesture.]

[save_the_souls]

Ah-

I'm sure that you can be very useful here! I mean, even if it's not an everyday thing...there are always ways to help when problems occur!

[liadrin]

I will do my best to look for opportunities. Thank you for the encouragement, I truly do appreciate it.

[save_the_souls]

Ah, it's nothing really! I mean...you seem so strong that it's not hard to think that at all.

[liadrin]

Really, Allen, you are too kind. How you've managed to flourish so long in a place like this is beyond me.

[save_the_souls]

[He laughs a little]

It's actually not that difficult...I mean once you get past the castle being a horror.

But...I've been lucky enough to meet a lot of kind people here.

[Plus my home life really really sucks so this is not so bad!]

[liadrin]

I am lucky I have not had to experience too much horror from this place, I suppose-- no more than I have seen at home.

You must have met many over the years...
