Rising Tides [Meeting]
When Faite spoke, Solveiga felt the full force of her words and chagrin seemed to sweep over her and settle deep within her stomach. She felt an incredible amount of guilt for what she had done, and she felt it inside her like an awful, twisting knot. "I'm so sorry," she whispered again, and she knew there would be tears if she had any left to shed. But she only felt more empty because of it. Solveiga had always been the type that was eager to please, eager to prove herself, and she had blatantly failed. Maybe they wouldn't want her back once she had left.
She lowered her eyes as Faite spoke to her and to Luck, but then it was her turn to speak and explain herself. She drew in a deep breath and tried to lift her eyes to Faite, but it only made that knot in her stomach twist even more, so she looked back down. "There is no excuse for what I've done. I know I've been a burden to the pack lately, and I just want you to know that you have my deepest apologies for that. My life... isn't what it used to be, I don't really know what to do anymore..." She swallowed hard and shifted her weight awkwardly. "I'll spare you the details. I just don't know who I am anymore, but what I do know is that I would never want to continue to burden this pack. Celestial has been a wonderful home for me, but if you'll allow me, I'd like to take my leave now." Solveiga took another deep breath and lifted her pale blue eyes to Faite, clenching her jaw a bit in resolution. "I refuse to be a nuisance any longer. I'm no help around here, and I won't be until I... fix whatever is wrong with me. I'm sorry."
