"I... Don't know if he will. Is it because I wasn't enough? Is there something wrong with me? Was it the vampirism? What if he never loved me at all? Or... Is he just dead?"

*Tears begin streaming down Katherine's face and trail down her clenched jaw as she tries not to cry. She was attempting to let out emotions that had been bottled up for so long that it was near impossible to control; if the cork didn't give way, the glass would shatter.*

"It just hurts, thinking about him. I don't know what to do anymore!"
Jodi
*Sirdan paused for a moment, letting Katherine let it all out, simply acknowledging her. He wasn't really good with this emotional stuffs. But he tried to process and give her some counseling anyway. *

"It hurts to have someone missing. We all want closures to what happens in our life."

*Will it work? Is he being too blunt? Can their friendship cushion it? The elf thought to himself*

"But you are only hurting yourself with your speculation. You want to blame yourself for his disappearance, so you have something to work on, some way to make him come back or to stop it from happening again. But it can't heal you, because you don't know why he disappeared. You play rational with a world of chance."

"Don't go down that path. You will destroy yourself. Tell me. What did you miss about Alexander?"
Kenneth
*The emotional wreck that is Katherine simply nods, as that's all she can muster at this point. She buries her face in her hands, placing her arms on her knees and bending down.*

"He-he was everything. We did everything together. Talk, quest, fight, run, explore, ride, eat... Love. He was the only thing that I had. I didn't have any friends or family at the time, and with Ale at my side, I didn't need any. I miss his gold hair, crystal blue eyes, that warm smile... Just... He was my world."
Jodi
"It is fine to mourn him. But you need to look for someone or something that can fill the void."

"Make some friends, find a new family. It sounded like you wanted a love of your life again, you felt empty and he was everything."

"Do you know anyone else from New Sunlight? Someone you can go on an outing with? It will take time to heal, but you can start by having someone to socialize with."
Kenneth
*The blunt realization causes Katherine to wince, as if if she had just been punched. That was it? No words of comfort? Just a simple truth and a message to move on.*

*But in her mind, she doubled back. Maybe this was what she needed. Feeling sorry for her wouldn't solve anything. The captain nodded, barely containing herself once more.*

"Charlotte De'Loin, a Bronze rank under me. Aldeberto, another Bronze, though he's a wandering mercenary. He travels with an uzhi named Serena, though she's not affiliated whatsoever. You, of course. And then... Ralki and Mevis, but I don't see them anymore. I haven't seen them in ages."
Jodi
*Sirdan too, realized he had the same problem. It seemed that whatever friendship he made was always of the opposite gender, with half the chance of him ending up in some sort of relationship with them.* 

*He is determined to make sure this don't end up the same.* 

"Sounds like you and I both need more friends." *He smiled,*"I don't have many friends, you know. I came in as a loner, a foreigner in a hunting guild, found the love of my life, took care of her. Then she disappeared." 

"I think I've overcompensated, and now I end up with only one friend or two I haven't ended up sleeping with." 

"Maybe you and I should hit the bar at New Sunlight and make some new friends. Hell, somewhere outside of New Sunlight. The real question is - what can friends do nowadays. That's always a problem. You have any special skills outside of fighting? I'm learning to cook."
