❝ There are friends, and there is family, and then there are the friends that become family. ❞

At her question, he instantly had an answer. There was no one else in the world it could possibly be, there was only one soul he had ever had since he was small, and she met everything to him, even though he had never in a million days thought she would. He shifted, and offered the young girl a small smile, a smile tinged with the sadness of one who missed his best friend, who had left a part of himself when they parted ways. He hoped he could give her an answer that would help; it had been so long since he had given something rather than taken, and for as long as he had possessed thought he had known nothing but that he wanted to help, and to heal.

"When I met her, I never thought she’d ever mean so much to me. The path I always thought I’d go on was nowhere near hers, but I found a way into hers anyway and now I know her better than I know myself and there’s no one else I’d ever give everything for." He almost wanted to laugh at the memory of how they had first met, of how timid and absolutely stupid he had been, but he held his tongue, giving only a fond smile instead as a distant look took hold of his gaze as he thought back to the young scrappy girl who had convinced him to steal from a king, who he had been cross with, but then decided to help, and forged a path he never thought he would follow.

"We were so young then, so different. I don't think either of us could have ever known we would be our family. When we met, I had my parents. I had a life, a home, and my books, and she had no one. She was alone and she found me and that day changed everything. I helped her and then I had nothing, no one, no one except her, and she just had me, and that just became how it always was. I was terrified at first, so scared, and she was bold and brash and far too confident, but she was sensitive to me, to my fears, and assured them, even if she was a bit mean while doing so. As time went on we grew even closer, and she was my family, the only true family I had ever had." Dimitri missed his mother sometimes, and his father, but he had made his choice, and maybe someday he could see them again, but first he had to follow his dreams.

"I really miss her. Not a moment goes by that I don't, but we grew up, and realized it was time for our paths to separate, for us to follow what laid in our hearts, and what lay their just didn't match. We'll see each other again, I know that, but it may be a bit before the wind carries us together again."

Alsei - Ren

“Until you step into the unknown, you don’t know what you’re made of.”
- Roy T. Bennett

“This one is easy for me! I think the most special person in my life would be my best friend, Ren! He may really be, well, my only real friend, but he’s pretty special. All the elders told me that going around and talking to the humans of the village would be a bad idea but.. So far its been the best adventure yet! I’ve always been good at following the rules of the forest but since meeting Ren.. I don’t know. The world just seems so much bigger, you know?” He turns to you, large doll like eyes of a warm and sparkling deep pink peering right at you with so much intense happiness you even find yourself flushing. “Whenever he visits me I always can’t wait, and I’m right there waiting for him. He brings me all the pretty shiny things that he can, and I decorate them in my hair and all over me because he said once that he likes it.” You catch Alsei’s pinks also flushing a warmer hue of pinkish red. “I hope he still continues to visit me. We've known each other for a long time now and it's so beautiful to see him growing and learning so many new things. Especially since he teaches them to me, too. It's almost like he's teaching me what it means to me… alive. Does that make sense?” His gaze to you softens, and he carries such a passionate and intense love for this Ren that you feel like you’re intruding on a very intimate moment, even though he’s talking straight to you. At least he got his point across, though.

Fera startled at the question, eyes locking onto the girl next to her before relaxing. She hummed, tilting her head before speaking.

"...her name's Cass. Er, uh, Cassandra. Took me a while to realize how I felt about her. Heck, took me a while to realize how I felt about myself.. but. She helped. She was always there to help, no matter who, no matter what."

Feral paused, thinking. "I used to not like myself. At all. I felt like I couldn't do anything right, felt like the one thing that I liked I couldn't do properly... until she came along." Fera softly laughed before continuing, "She had a tiny cold. Didn't even need to come in, but she did. And... I appreciate that meeting every day. She showed me that, while I may not be the best there is, what I do is enough. It obviously wasn't overnight, in fact... it took a while. But she showed me that I was someone she could love. And I figured... well, if she could love someone like me, maybe I could, too."

"Like I said, it took a while. A lot of trial and error. Started out small, just noticing the things that I did that I was happy with. Truth be told, I didn't notice much... but she helped me, like she always does. Working on the things that I didn't like was even worse.. it felt like it wasn't worth it. But it was, because of her. Even now, when I start to doubt myself, she's there, cheering me on. Reminding me that I am worth it, that I can be loved. And, well, you know what they say."

"You can’t really love someone else unless you really love yourself first."

"can the lonely take the place of you?" - Christina Perri

Alouette has no special someone. Ever since her voice was forcefully taken from her, Alouette has closed herself off to the world. She abandoned her family long before that point, and doesn't know what happened to them or how she'd even go about trying to find them again. The townspeople quickly proved to not truly be her friends when they so easily accepted the lie from the Rainman that she was possessed as a host for a demon causing the drought. And any chance at romantic love has been reduced to almost nonexistent thanks to the Rainman's own behavior. She does not want a special someone, not anymore, because how can she trust ever again? And even if she could, Alouette feels she can't make any meaningful bond the way she used to now that she has lost her voice. It may not be true, but Alouette always communicated her passion with her voice, and now, that avenue is gone. So Alouette has chosen to go it alone instead, and it will be very hard to sway her otherwise. She would rather be lonely than risk the hurt all over again.

Rein lost his family a long time ago and was never able to reconnect or find them again, which saddens him, but he has not been alone. Rein has Jink, a friend who was once made of shadows, but now exists as a living creature. Rein and Jink only have each other, so in some ways they were forced to be there for one another.

Jink was the first person for Rein to ever confide in, Jink was someone who would not judge Rein for the things he felt and did, unlike the people in his family. Rein grew up in a large family, being a middle child often forced him to the back. He was not special and he definitely did not stand out in a crowd, yet Jink always seemed to notice him. Though Jink always noticed Rein not many others did.

Jink could find Rein in a crowd of a million Kals, it was as though their souls were connected together. Tied to one another as they could not exist without the other. And even if they could they would not want to. Who would want to live without the person who held their heart and soul in the palms of their hands?

Rein and Jink were soulmates. They breathed, lived, and slept together, practically attached at the hip. Though of all people they deserved it the most, years of suffering alone was what pulled their damaged souls together. Afterall, our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.

"Someone special, you ask? Well.. there's no one more special than a stupid apprentice I fell in love with named Slaeir" Ruka smiled, he was talking about no one other than his annoying short boyfriend. Ruka loved his boyfriend more than anything, ever since he had first met him on an assassin mission back in December where he had accidentally tripped over him and cussed him out on the spot. It wasn't long before they had started hanging out... every single day... for hours and hours... which ended up with someone falling in love. Who was that someone? Ruka, of course, he fell in love almost instantly. "Everything about his short self is absolutely amazing and I'd never change anything about him, even if he's more annoying than a seven year old finding a knife for the first time, I love him anyways. He's a little dumb, but he's my kind of dumb." He continued on, not yet ready to be shut down about his boyfriend. "Till death do us part, I can't wait to say those words to him."
