{A rush of warmth mingles with the ice, melting some of it and he breathes out shakily. When ice melts, water is able to flow freely. His tears are no different and they fall silently while he rests his elbows on his knees, bowing forward.}

I did not imagine in my wildest dreams that I would encounter you. Every story barely touches on the Elf you are and I mean to correct that. {Family is like a brilliant flame to him - too soon extinguished but too bright for him to avoid.} All I ask is that you do not rush for...death... If your light Fades, take what light I have left. I share it freely.

For years, I have dwelt detached from others. I was cursed by some and admired by others, but I never knew my place. Now I see that, even in the midst of loss, if there is but one friend, there is my place.
