Correct.

It doesn't hurt to try, though.

... I want to try. I just don't know if it will help in the long run.

No way. No point in trying to go against something that's already set in motion.

Though I'd like to think I can alter the direction the "inevitable" is heading towards. Make it work in my favor.

.... Alter it? How?

Well, if you're sure something is going in a certain direction, then you can try to do little things to make it possibly turn your way. Or, at least make it seem better.

Uhmmmm, okay. Let me try to think of something... wait!

Okay, so, you throw an apple into the air. The inevitable is that it's going to come back down and hit something hard. The ground, most likely, right? But- you can place something underneath the apple as it falls, like a pillow or something, which would make the fall more bearable for the apple. So you've changed the inevitable slightly, from making the apple crash land with a splat, to making it take a rest in a cozy cushion.

...I hope that wasn't too confusing. Sometimes it works, other times, it doesn't. I just go and try to adapt in whatever way I can if it doesn't.

... That wasn't so confusing. Actually... it's an idea at least.

Glad I could help... if it did. If not, at least I provided some comfort.

I like the comfort... makes it a little better.

That's why it's called 'inevitable'.

That's why I put the name to it.

What is it...?

My eventual separation from a close friend.

I would fight against that as long as possible.

I have been... it's been years now. But I don't know how much longer I can.

What is your friend doing?

Searching for his home.

And... he won't return?

... No. They don't allow outsiders in his home and he's a prince there.

And they won't let him leave?

No. He's supposed to save them or something.

He still might return after he's finished.

I don't think he will...

Why not?

... His kingdom needs him to survive apparently.

Constantly?

I guess. Something like that.

I wouldn't think so. He might have time to visit once in a while.

I'm not looking for a relationship with someone 'once in awhile.'

It's better than nothing.

Not for me or him.

Are you just friends?

You could go with him.

... No.

I'm helping him find his home. But once he does I know they won't let me in.

... You should try. I hope they would.

...Kaelyn?

Just.... thinking.

About?

Agkelos.

...we don't know for sure that we'll have to say goodbye.

.... You know how likely it is we will.

That depends if you want to stay or not.

... I want to be with you, Nox.

Then let me try to reason with them. If they don't like what they hear... I'll threaten to leave if they don't do as I say.

..... If you think it'll work.

I'll do everything I can...

... I know you will.
