Melodious Alone

Phoebe

I've been very hopeful so far
Now for the first time I think we're going wrong
Hurry up and tell me this is all a dream
Or could we start again, please?

In the silence of the mezzanine though, even his soft footsteps did not go undetected. Pim lifted his head from where he lay on the floor, eyeing the Launceleyn curiously. As the man began to descend the stairs the dragonling tilted his head before trilling after him, flapping his wings. Unlike most humans he met, he actually rather liked the quiet fellow. He had calmed Phoebe down once when she had needed it. That was a trustworthy fellow to him.

But of course, this alerted Phoebe to his presence, and she turned to look at him. She was truly a shadow of herself, the fire that Loren had seen exhibited before replaced by melancholy and remorse. ”Oh, hello Loren. You can come up. I won’t bother you.” she said, almost sadly. She had been cruel to him too. She couldn’t imagine he would want to be around her any more than anyone else.
