She fairly glowed!  So happy, and at ease.  But she never does anything so quickly…. But as you know one can not guide the heart!  And the seamstresses will have a time getting a dress to please her in time.” A small chuckle escapes, “I warned her that I would have to now pick up all the pieces of the broken hearts across the land…. It seems I should pick up all those break for you I should pick up on my way.”"I am happy for her if she has found her happiness.  She is fortunate to find time for love in such times as these.""You too have found such joy, and perhaps at a harder time for you both.  At least you and he can be together... she will have to leave him behind, and she will not stay behind herself."Xath smiles at her friend.  "I hope you do not think me melancholy from Justice's news, my friend.  I simply came here to contemplate recent events, and even joy such as Justice's cannot wash away everything else that we have been through."L’Aurel’s smile falters, “I know it can not.  Time will not stand still long enough for us to adjust to anything, and I used to there would be time enough to analyze and evaluate everything before time was up.  Do you want to talk about it?”  Moving a pace away, “Or should I leave you?”She moves to catch L'Aurel's hand.  "I have learned that there will be plenty of time for contemplation after I am dead." She winces in her smile.  "But my time to spend with my friends is limited, and thus, cherished.  I would always be glad to speak with you."Squeezing Xath’s hand, L’Aurel says, “Do you think of Arfin?  He is in a better place, he searched for death in anyway for so many years.  It would have been shameful for him to see his family again in such a way.  Instead he can join them having died in combat as a warrior desires, and having helped as no other could save a town and a kingdom.  He learned to be a dwarf again, he learned to care about people again.  He will never be far, just a breath away really.  You held a special place in his heart.”</blockquote>
