It was one thing or another, and all these events made Kalie remember all the times. Other people used her for an easy out because of how smart she was. All she did was try her best in school and got excellent grades and a high-grade point average to go to any college or university. However, she chose K-State for specific it wouldn't require her to fly by plane to it. It hurts massively, but some people did care about what she was going through more than others. In the back of her mind, [i]Why am I such an idiot?[/i] It was the only thing in her mind; she has caused herself some self-harm with her primarily being not good enough or not beautiful enough. All because she's so average outside of the game, it hurts much.
 
Kalie tried to smile while listening to what Alja said to Dariel, but her smile disappeared slowly. She was a bit lost for words since she could see Alja being a bit distant, but she didn't want to make it worse. All she does is make things worse with her speaking to others, and it is hard for her to understand others. It hurts slightly, but she did hear someone come close to her. She looked over to the person who was moving a seat, and it was Siegfried. The only thing she could do was blink at him slightly, still hurting, and she tried to smile. It was all wrong, with everything going on, and it mostly because of her. However, what Sig said made her feel a bit better, but she was still hurting.

[color=F9FF22]" Hey Sig, I am not okay. Though you are right, your words are encouraging." [/color]

Kalie did hear Alja leave the bar to go somewhere else in the Tavern, probably to talk to the others. It was a bit hard on her, but she didn't want to make anything worse than it was already. She did have a problem with wanting to talk frequently without understanding others' feelings or desires. It has been one of her most significant weaknesses in her life that causes her never to gain any friends. She sighs sightly at all these frustrations, and it isn't like anyone would want to be her friend now. All she does is continuously sabotage herself, but thankfully the food she's eating was good. In the back of her mind, [i]I dislike this feeling of utter helplessness...[/i] She took a while before she looks back to Siegfried and sighs slightly. 
 
[color=F9FF22]" Um, I might as well introduce myself. It's Dawn Sara Hughes. I just wanted to, Sig." [/color]

Kalie felt like it was the least she could do for Sig because she can tell there is something up with him. It is only around her, though, but she cannot place her finger on it. Her beautiful smile returns to her face. She has a long way to go to feel better, but it is something. However, what shocks her was an argument behind her, near where the others were explicit. It was over as quickly as it came up, but the voices that were apart were Kazuki, Graves, and Benkei. She shakes her head in not understanding why it was happening in all honesty. It was trying to keep herself from breaking down by trying to ignore the yelling. It would be better if everyone cools down before she involves herself in their business. However, it's so hot in this place that it might not be able to cool down.

[color=F9FF22][i]' It's never this hot in Kansas. It feels like temperatures from Florida.' [/i][/color] Kalie thought to herself. She moves her hand in front of her face to cool herself down slightly. She drinks her ale and eats her flat cakes, with a slight smile on her face. It was a bit of a dumb idea to get an alcoholic beverage, but she ordered it. At least, she was taking small sips of it, though.[/indent][/indent][/indent]
