Back where I'm from, there were never any seasons like there are here.

Every bit of the weather was controlled and left up to the desires of the people. Did more people want it to rain? To be sunny? For flowers to bloom, letting their petals float away on a breeze? Everything left up to a vote.

It feels strange to watch everything turn dull and quiet with nothing's input but Nature's own, and just as stranger to know that it will all bloom once more very much the same way.

Do you think that most situations can be like that- a two way street that has the possibility to flourish or fade away?

Or are there things that can't ever be changed from 'good' or 'bad' once they've happened?

Just some thoughts on a nice day.

[You learn not to question things after awhile...]

No, no one was hurt there. I'm not really sure how now that I think about it...

Lucky miracle?

[adai]

Yes, I suppose so. That's not surprising, since they've lived through a lot.

[...well, Simon has lived through a lot.]

[ladywithnovoice]

And were you traveling with them before you came here?

[adai]

I was, yes. We were fighting together with many other people. Things weren't going all that well though.

[ladywithnovoice]

I'm sorry to hear about that.

We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.

[adai]

...I've spoken about it to a few people here and they've all reassured me that everything will be alright. Things might look bleak now, but there's always hope. It's been very nice to hear. I don't want to bring it up and ruin the conversation, but thank you for the offer.

It's the least I could do. We're all pretty far from home. The least we can do is offer one another solace.
