[se] wildest dreams

You made yourself a bed
At the bottom of the blackest hole

Alys had always been happy to be a quiet listener, and that, as far as she was concerned, would never change, especially not for her friends. And while she didn't know what Tal was feeling, she, too, had felt Hotaru's absence in that quiet, dismal way of losing a friend to her happy ending. And while she was happy for Ru - for anyone who found that happiness - it certainly didn't make her feel any less left behind. Perhaps that was why she longed to travel when she'd been so content in Halo for seasons now, but that was neither here nor there.

"You know where to find me if you ever want a love reading," Alys offered with a smile of her own. "Although it's rarely a black and white thing. Romance is complicated," she said, with the wisdom of someone beyond her years. With that, she turned to trying to cheer her friend up. She didn't say that it would be okay, because she didn't know that it would; nor did she say that people would forget about it, because she didn't know that they would. What she did instead was return to the topic of travel. "Well, we can avoid Torchline. I'll definitely visit Stormbreak with you, though." Then, realizing that he hadn't exactly invited her along as such, she backtracked. "I mean, if you don't mind. It would be kind of nice to travel with a friend."
