Lael smiled softly. "I'm not so petty as that a little foul language will offend me," she says. "I think the words enough. I just choose not to say them." She sighes. "And six years is a long time. Who is she? Someone you love?"

"Yes," Darian replies, sadness again in his voice, "I have run into her many times in my travels, although it was after the first meeting that I fell in love with her."

Lael nods. "Tell me about her," she says. She knows how it feels to be away from one you love.

"She is very kind, always putting the needs of others before herself." Darian explains, "She doesn't like hurting people. She likes it when I hold her in my arms, and every time I have she's been very warm. Not uncomfortably, but just warm enough to feel nice." Suddenly the elf breaks down in tears. He could not stand being away from her for so long. It had taken all the strength he had not to kill himself after the first two years.

Lael quickly fumbles with a handkerchief and hands it to him. "There, there," she says as soothingly as she can manage (something she hasn't had to much practice with). "I know. I know." She puts her hand on the elfs back and rubs softly, remembering that her mother used to do the same to her when she was upset.
"I used to have a best friend... Well, three years ago we became more than best friends." She smiles softly. "I was only 14. He was my first love. But... No... Never mind. I shouldn't say more."

"Thank you," Darian says after he stops crying, "It's always nice to know someone cares enough to comfort me. I suppose you may want this back" The elf hands her the handkercheif. It was wet from his tears but his nose did not run when he cried so all he had done was wipe off his tears.

Lael takes the handkerchief. "Don't worry about it," she says smiling. "There's nothing like a good cry sometimes." She shakes out the handkerchief a bit and puts it back in her pocket.

"True," Darian replies, feeling better now, "I don't think I caught your name."

"It's Lael," Lael says. "And I don't believe you ever told me yours."

"Yes, you're right," Darian replies, blushing slightly, "My name's Darian, Darian Moonleaf."

"Ah. Well, it's nice to meet you, Darian Moonleaf," Lael says smiling.

"And it's nice to meet you too, Lael." Darian replies, "It's always nice to meet a kind person."

"Yes, it is," says Lael. "I don't get to meet new people very often."

"I have no trouble meeting people," Darian replies, "However, I rarely have time to get to know anyone. I guess we'll probably be seeing each other quite a bit."
