[There's an unseen smile as she leans back against him. She sighs, and is quiet, reflecting on that day. Was it only three months ago? There was still snow then, still signs of the eruption. Now the remaining lava is simply a part of the landscape, the scorched earth and charred trees a passing reminder. Time rolls on and on and changes become part of the new normal.]
I found out that day one of my best friends was gone. He left me a letter. Told me I was stronger than I thought I was and I brought joy to people by being around them. That my emotions weren't a weakness. That I could tackle whatever was ahead of me.
[Oh, Lancer, you were always too good, too noble, too kind. The first of many to echo the lessons she's taken so long to learn, is still learning. Tears sting her eyes; she lets them remain.]
I suppose ambushing newbies was my way of making myself feel important and useful that day.
