She would dip her head, her teal-green eyes would shine with sympathy, and rather than walk away, as she probably should have, the soft hearted healer would speak softly. "I can understand your pain. When I first came to Alacritia it was full of ups and downs as well. I was force to have children... I had an accident and was separated from my children, my friends.

If there was one thing I've learned is that life is not easy... but you must take the company, the kindness that is offered when it comes. If you neglect to do so you'll be alone... lost in this world and wandering like a wraith forever."
