	Ash watched alongside the owl girl as the duo finished their songs, he had noticed as well the ornamentation that signified the loss of the other tree men. Ash looked to the owl person, she seemed to be staring intently, [color=f7941d]"You know, I envy them horribly. They found a way to keep alive the memory of their fallen kin, with out losing hope themselves. It's beautiful in its own way I think."[/color] Ash took another draw on his cigarette before flicking the remainder into the snow. [color=f7941d]"This campus is full of exquisite music, food, drink, pleasures for all kinds, and while you stay, you can be something a bit more than what you came as. If you don't mind my asking, what is it you came here to be?"[/color]

Ash stood pondering the question himself as he posed it, the duo began the next song in their repertoire and Ash thought to himself. [i][color=f7941d]Why did I come back here, if I was going to manage anything I would have already, all I am doing is wasting away the life I have while the memory of people[/i][/color] I [i][color=f7941d]care about fades to dust around me.[/color][/i] He looked back at the owl woman and smiled, [color=f7941d]"Nevermind me, here I am prying like a first day counselor, I'm sure you have better things to do than indulge my questions. It's a pleasure to have met you.... um, I never actually caught your name?"[/color]
