[ when he sits to join her, he's close enough to occasionally brush shoulders... friends!! ]

Our island was pretty isolated, and it was ocean on all sides. But... similar, in the past few years, it's been pretty hard to find peace.

So it's nice - the quiet like this.

Hard to find peace because it is busy? Or was there another reason?

[he can brush shoulders. normally she's a bit flinchy at contact but with the affection week, she won't shy away.]

From:

[ :) affection week ]

Um...

[ he's clearly looking for a way to say it ]

Another reason. A lot of people were dying due to an internal conflict.

sacredpath

[that is more what it sounded like, yea.]

The same one that ultimately took your life?

[ nods ]

That's when my friends went off the deep end. [ he'll look back out into the ocean and take a deep breath in with the next breeze ] But I loved my hometown a lot, even up to that last moment.

[ and then, like he's remembering something now: ]

Are you going to take their offer, Shadowheart? To go back to life. I thought of you when they mentioned it.
