[hr]

Karina had a sad expression on her face as she heard Chres talking about Sil. According to him, she had only said that she couldn't come back until she 'knows'... She knew that her absence would affect the group. Her presence was, after all, one of the few things that was able to distract them and brighten up the mood.

[color=6ecff6]"She is... I'll miss her antics. I hope she comes back soon."[/color] Karina said with a delicate smile to Chres.

[color=6ecff6]"Perhaps not in the traditional sense of the word but yeah... They are. They have their own ideas, their own personalities and their own ways to see the world around them."[/color] she replied with a calm, understanding voice after Chres' words. Seeing how he was as he held a metal glass pendant on his hand, with a sad, distant look on his face somewhat worried Karina. More than anyone, Chres would already be used in having Sil nearby. Her antics her happy and cheerful behavior was something he knew very well... and would miss the most too.

Standing up after thanking her though, Chres handed her the metal glass pendant, mentioning something about being weighting him down. Judging by the face he did before when looking and muttering at it, it had something to do with his painful past. Karina didn't knew how to react at first, simply holding the pendant in her hands with a bewildered look on her face. She was going to ask him if he was sure about that, going on how that apparently was precious to him but the moment she looked at his face, she knew that it was something he had to do. A something he had to get rid of if he wanted to keep going forwards and not be stuck to his past.

[color=6ecff6]"Thank you, Chres. Sleep well, if you need anyone to talk with, don't be shy. It is an officer's duty to take care of her subordinates isn't it?"[/color] she said with a chuckle and a discreet smirk as Chres walked away.

The night was calm and uneventful for Karina, but she did spend some time before sleeping with the pendant on her hands, looking at it and thinking about everything. Her last thoughts were about the situation in the army... About how her father and the other officers would react when they knew about everything she had to say...
