Great, I'd gone and screwed up the evening, hadn't I? My eyes wandered slowly over to Kalia, remorse in their depths. I'm sorry I'm being such a freaking idiot. I didn't know if she could hear the thoughts, but I wished she would. When you think things, it doesn't seem to be as permanent and solid as if you say them. Thoughts come and go, floating in the endless dark that is our minds. We forget them, but words hang in the air forever, like knives just begging to be spun around and pierce their foolish owner. Words can be used as threats, to coerce, to calm, and express love. Thoughts are just thoughts and seem so little and unimportant. Yet, they often convey the deepest, most true parts of us. Our thoughts are untamed and uncontrollable, while words spill forth at our own whim. By speech we can bring about our own doom.
I stayed silent, but suddenly so many thoughts flooded my mind, like an overwhelming flood.
A small smile crossed my face for a reason beyond my immedient grasp. Did the idea of the absurdity of this all amuse me? Perhaps.
How long have you yearned to not be alone?
I asked, pulling my gaze from her. What had happened to the light, witty banter we'd been sharing just moments ago I did not know, but I felt myself quietly yearning for once more.

Kalia waved her hand in the air. "Don't worry, you weren't an Idiot...Your just not used to being so open with random people!" She smiled. "Oh, and by the way, don't blaim yourself you haven't scared or hurt me in anyway." Her tone was cheery again, and she was back to her usial self. Though now he probly thinks that there's something wrong with her attention span, but oh well. She glanced at Daemon, and then back to the fire. "I'm not sure...I've been alone all my childhood, and always wished for someone to be there...how ever, now that I grew up and started hearing thouse calls, I can't say that I've been alone much." She shrugged and looked back at him. "Cheer up! This is an unusial evening! I've got you to do something unthinkable, and you've got me to open up a bit as well...which, by the way, never happened before."

I smiled lightly, not really feeling it.
Right, well, I do admit I've enjoyed this evening.
I remarked, my eyes wandering outside to the darkened sky. I liked to imagine I had places to go, people to see int he morning, but I knew I didn't. I was still just... wandering aimlessly. At at least before I'd had a job... of some sorts. But something felt sinister about this night, almost as if I could sense an impending death. Not my own, no. I glanced nervously at Kalia, wondering if it was hers. No, not her either...
Hogosha whined again, licking my hand and making me leap from my chair in shock. I'd almost forgotten he was there. He looked up at me, mouth wide in what I imagined to be a smile.
And as much as I hate to, I really should go. I've got... I... something is, uh... Well, I should go.
I said, rising from my chair to Hogosha's delight. He enjoyed it when we were moving and doing things, especially together.
Dear Kalia,
I said, bow and taking her hand to kiss.
I shall see you again, and that is a sincere promise.
I really did meant that. Why I needed to promise it, I didn't know. Why exactly was it I expected to happen tomorrow? Or to me? It just felt right, anyway, to make that promise.

Kalia smiled when Daemon shot out of his chair but only nodded when he took her hand. "Indeed, you will." She placed her hand gently on his cheek and smiled a knowing smile. Somehow, Kalia knew that it would be true. Indeed we will meet again, my work is not yet done.
