Sildarin's shoulders slumb.
"So... it has come to this..."
He gets up and starts drifting towards the shore, seeing if the shaman's body is still in sight. If it is adrift on the waves, he manifests ectoplasmic strand to pull it back to the shore. His inner conversation continues as he does all this.
So... I'm a hero...
Better get used to it, you're going to be hearing that a lot.
So it seems... what did I do to deserve this?
You ended up following the wrong people first to the cafeteria, then to the library.
You think that's when it started?
At least by the time you tried to hook me up with Charlotte's psicrystal.
That didn't go well... I was too scared to answer when she asked how the two of you would talk.
Yea, and you still haven't made up that for me. How about trying to repeat that act now? Especially since Keith isn't on the way anymore.
Isn't what? What do you mean?
He isn't on the way. You know, he's been keeping kinda low profile for the last day. Charlotte's pretty much a free target, considering that one day was all they were together. If even that.
How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not interested in Charlotte right now. Not interested in anybody for the moment. Besides, me being an elf would probably just remind her of him even more...
So you are interested in her. Or are you interested in one of the guys?
No, that's not it. I just don't think I'm ready for a relationship.
Bah!
