Mathias smiled a little bit. Though it was a sad smile this time. He put both of his arms around her, wondering what you should do when trying to comfort someone. As he wasn't used to having to deal with these situations any more. "I'm not one to talk about not feeling guilty." He started, thinking about how he was going to say this and how much he wanted to say. "I know full well how difficult it is when your loved ones are murdered. Especially when you are away at that time. Isabel and child...they were murdered too. I know Dhampirs are forbidden by our laws, but love does weird things to you. But enough about me, this is about you. Evon, as difficult as it is now, you should always strive to move on. Never forget, but try to focus on the good times as much as possible. You may very well always have that pain in your heart, but think of what your parents would have wanted. And instead of living in the past, try to live a life that your parents would have been proud of. I hope I'm making sense."

(Btw, Evon's parents' murder is tied into the plot with the big bad guy, so please remain vague about it a while longer. ^^;; The plot specifically incorporates who the murderer was and his motivations.)
