Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again,
this time more intelligently
this time more intelligently
Having heard of Alys's loss through the grapevine of Halo, Elizabeth made it a point to visit the seer on her next appointment in King's End. She'd sent a letter detailing the time and location to meet, hoping she might be up for a meeting with a friend. It was beyond her comprehension of what it must be like to lose a companion, but she'd helped many people navigate the steps of grief, finding ways to accept the reality and cope with that truth in whatever healthy way gave them relief. For some, it took a single conversation, letting them talk through their thoughts in order to release the finality of their loss and return to the rhythm of their life. For others, it took months of meetings and learning of skills in order to navigate their day-to-day selves, only finding a way to manage rather than move beyond. And for all, it took time. Time to process. Time to heal.
Elizabeth wasn't sure what Alys's path would look like. All she knew was that she wanted to be there as a supportive friend during this difficult time. So as she stood looking over the water, she clutched her brown coat tighter around her to hide the small package underneath. Her hair hung loose, catching in the ocean breeze. Although the snowfall had graciously paused for the time being, the cold still nipped at her nose, flushing it to a light pink against the tan of her cheeks. Despite it all, she waited patiently, enjoying the sound of water crashing against the shore.
