Rosaline wiped tears and rain water from her face, she had barely known any of them but it still stung. She had always been grateful to Master Makarov for allowing her to join, not many legitimate guilds wanted someone who could steal magic, and it was his death hurt her the most. Everyone seemed to be dealing differently, personally Rosaline felt that voting could wait but it was a welcome distraction. Wallowing in sorrow would not help the situation, she stood. Her mind was made up on the vote.
"Excuse me, I would like to cast a vote for Laxus." 
There were so many things she wanted to say but she could hear her voice shaking and could feel silent tears continue to run down her cheeks along with the rain water, she could tell that she was on the edge of loosing her composure. As usual people had already begun to argue but she honestly could not say that it was unexpected. She sat back down, making no effort to stop the flow of tears, today it would be okay to cry and to feel sorrow but she and everyone else would have to be strong in the days and weeks that would follow this catastrophe.
