Silly? No.

Though you make things harder for yourself than they need to be.

how can i make it any easyer...

Of course not

you do what you feel you need to

Now Quoth said something a bout a man upsetting you, it can't have been one of the guild surely

Do not lock yourself away like this...you will only become more estranged from others, from life itself.

I deal with death, life isent part of what i do, but i still try to live...
that idiot in the council chambers just...
reminded me of the outside, of peoples prejudeces...

*Timmy flaps and whistles*

You may deal with the dead but you protect the living...the prejudiced people admittedly but we are sworn to protect the people of Imardin and there are good, wholesome folk out there that with our power would choose to protect us. Even a necromancer.

there are those better suited to help...
*looks at timmy*
what do you want?

[Timmy] To help. Arak!

oh lords not you as well...

*smiles slightly*

there are still people that care for you. granted, it is different...but not all is lost.

I.... do not find it easy to make friends,
and.. He...
we planed to marry after the war...

but... he died helping to secure one of the outposts...

i...i must say i know not of they kind of loos of which you speak...but it is one of my greatest fears.

i would say you have performed admirably, through this. but you must heal yourself.

I... I should have been able to help him...
i should have been there...
I should have protected him somehow...

but no... everything i learned was useless...
*her shoulders shake slightly as she sobs*
I...
i couldent do a thing...
after all those years of learning,
I was powerless to help...

*Lord Curmanis knocks on the door*

Lady Alicia, may I speak to you for a moment?

No. You did not fail him. He was his own person and was a powerful Magician, I remember him, he was capable of looking after himself.

We all know, that as Magicians we risk our lives for our country, for our King. He knew that as well as everyone else, as well as you do. Imardin needs our protection, even if it is with our blood. But he would loathe it to see you like this.

It was no one's fault but his killers. Do not give them an easier resting by trying to take blame that isn't yours.

Alicia, People like thhat Wolf person is not worth the effort of crying, save your tears, show him you're bigger and better than he is, take a look around you, we all came to your side because we are your friends, we see past the necromancy we see the woman, that is the majic of true friends.

Don't worry about wolf junior, if he carries on with his campaign against you he'll upset too many people and then I dread to think what he'll look like then

Hold your head up, you're good at what you do, be proud of your station in the Guild

*Masky pads in and jumps on Alicia's bed, she nudges her hand*

You are not alone My Lady, we familiars are with you, you are one of the best, you have a kind heart and a feeling for all kinds of life, be it cat or bird we are with you My Lady.

*Masky licks Alicia's hand in support*

Faren was a good man. He wanted nothing more than to be with you. But, like Elandra said, he would hate to see you like this. You must move on with your life. No one will ever forget Faren, but he would not want you to waste your life mourning for him.

*laughs*
what would i do without you all....

I... did not mean to get so upset,
Its just...
well... sometimes it is not so good to be alone
*strokes Masky *

thank you all... sometimes it is easy to forget what it is thats important

Lord Culmanis you wished to speak with me about something?
