Ah, how easy it was for her to allow his words to carry her imagination away. Perhaps in some dream, she'd find herself on this shore once more and watch Alexandria's light glimmer on the horizon. Now, though, there was nothing.

But she could pretend.

Drawing the mantle closer to herself, she sighed softly and briefly reminisced. How strange it was that the last time she had been in Alexandria, she'd tried so hard to get out, and now all she wanted was to find some way back.

...But now, the appearance of that strange silver-haired man.... If he spoke the truth, if he really had destroyed the fleet and ... murdered her Mother-- She could feel her eyes welling with tears once more, and gently dabbed at her glistening eyes with the kerchief. If he.... Mother.... She'd wanted so much to help her, to see her get better. Had she really lost her? After everything she'd been trying to do, had all of her efforts crumbled in her open hands?

What would Alexandria do without a leader?

I must get back, but I know it's impossible. If I'd been there, maybe this wouldn't have happened. ...It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left.

It's all my fault.

"...Thank you," she said as she forced herself from her thoughts, forcing another smile as she lowered her head. "I appreciate your company, and your kindness."

[OOC: IT IS AMAZING. Also, YES, IT IS REQUIRED. I was laughing at the people who left before the credits ended. >>]
