Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Synge can't help but break a small smile in response to Aykon's. Even know he made her feel a little bit better about things.*

Maybe you're right. I'm starting to think I've been running away from nothing. I really do wonder though, it scares me but I have to do something.

*She nods and looks around the room and to her bag for a moment.*

*Synge nods and continues to smile.*

I guess I'm just looking to be forgiven by my ghost...and the living.

*She looks down to her bag again and then back to you.*

I don't know, I should I suppose. I tried for a couple days to leave, it is harder than I thought it would be. Here I am though, on my way out.

*Synge sits without saying anything for a moment, thinking about all of the things are soon to come, hoping for the best in every situation, but fearing the worst. For a moment her eyes tear up and it seems as if she might cry, but by breathing deeply she calms her emotions and lights up a smile.*

Oh yeah? I would have liked to say goodbye to her, but I feel like if I stay another day here I might never have the courage to leave. Can you pass on a farewell for me? I have really enjoyed talking with her these last few weeks. I think she is really great. She seems to care a great deal about certain people.

*Synge takes a deep breath and looks a bit like a young girl who was about to set out on a journey that she was far too young for.*

This wouldn't be so hard if I knew what I was getting myself into. I guess the longer you run the harder it is to turn around and face things.

*Letting out a small sigh she looks down, appearing to be quite afraid, she could almost be shaking at this point.*

I'm sorry to keep you up, you don't have to wait around for me to leave.

*As Aykon touches her shoulder he can actually feel that she was shaking, however after a moment of his kindness her body relaxes and she is able to regain a bit of her confidence. Looking back up to him she produces another smile.*

Thanks, it always helps to hear that every now and then.

*She sniffles, an indication that she was indeed pushing back tears. After a moment of silence she gets up from her seat and calmly brushes her clothes off and swings her bag over her shoulder once again, looking very much like how she did on her first day here. As if suddenly remembering this detail, she reaches into her pocket and produces her room key, holding it in your direction to take.*

I guess you'll be wanting this then.

*Synge finds Aykon's gesture to be incredibly kind. As she clutches the key tightly in her hand she can't help but allow her eyes to well up with tears, that she quickly wipes away. Slipping the key back into her pocket she pats it with her hand.*

That's really sweet. I'll keep it as a way to cheer me up then if I ever need it. I know I said something different before...being angry and childish...but I do hope I come back here someday soon. It has helped me a lot...you have helped me a lot. It is strange, I haven't know you long at all yet I know I will miss you a great deal. So thank you, for being an amazing host.

*She smiles, her eyes glistening with the tears that have gathered and those that are trying to push their way out.*

I hope you are happy with your decision. I know you'll be happy to see your precious daughter once again.

*Synge lets her hand fall to her side as she listens to Aykon's kind words. She is clearly having a hard time fighting back her tears, still.*

That's really kind of you to say. Just knowing these things will make my journey all the more doable. I tried to be the best I could! Always nice to be missed.

*She might have said more, but she doesn't get the chance as she is hugged close, an act she wasn't used to. She could feel all of your kindness surrounding her and she finds that she is hugging you back with just as much care. When she is released you can see that tears have stained her cheeks. Sniffling, and feeling quite silly, she wipes away her tears as she laughs nervously.*

I feel like I'm leaving behind a brother or something! I think that hug was the best thing I could have had right now. Well then, I have to get out of her before I cry myself to death. You may not be happy about everything, but I feel like you will find happiness through this choice. Good luck with everything. Keep protecting people like me! We need it every now and then.

*With that Synge nods and turns away from you, takes a deep breath, and walks out of the tavern and into the night air. She was happy to travel at her favorite time, in the cool air of night. She walks off down the same path she came by, going quite slow until she finds herself surrounding by trees, at which point she breaks into her usual running pace. As she runs she lets her tears flow under the moonlight. She whispers a prayer of hope to herself and she goes.*

Please don't hate me mom...I didn't mean for you to die. Forgive me and let me come back to this place one day.
