Mein darwaze ki taraf ja raha tha aur mera dil zor se dhadak raha tha, meine pehle kabhi aiesa nahi kiya tha. Jaise hii mere dosto ne mujhe dekha voh ...asne lage aur sitiya bajane lage. Akash bola “Aao Radhika betho hamare saath, 2-3 drinks lo.” sab aur zor se hasne lage. Mein abhi bhi sharma raha tha, phir mein betha aur Ranveer ne mujhe ek glass pakdaya. Mein bina puche saara drink pii gaya, voh kaafi strong tha par mujhe uss time pe daaru ki bohot zarorat thi. Voh drink mujhe kaafi zyada hit. "Delicious, isn't she?" asked Helena."Yes," said both Tash and Naomi, Tash's much quieter.The raven haired, naked Goth gazed at me. "You don't mind?" she asked."Of course not," I grinned. "Even if it mattered."Eva surprised me by hopping off the bed and standing in front of me, her eyes suddenly sad. "It does matter, Joe," she said, pulling my head down for a kiss. I embraced her and she embraced me tightly back, almost too tightly, but I had no reason to complain."I'm sorry," I told her.She. I put my hands on her neck and start to massage it slowly. ‘Elijah, sleepy time.’ Lynn curls up into a ball. I slide my hands down her back and continue to rub. Lynn’s face turns to me and with slit eyes gives me a sharp glare. ‘Sleep. Tomorrow.’ Lynn wriggles away from me. I lay on my back again to see the pheasant across the room, at least she is no longer trying to sap my body heat. The pheasant is lucky to be alone in his painting, no wife, no worries, just the open sky and a full wheat. " I felt guilty, despite knowing we'd made the best choice we could at the time."Yes. And you released us from our 'curse'. Only, while the others had somewhere to go – back to families, or to a new human settlement they are building bordering the Brecilian – I was an elf. There was no place for me."I travelled for a while; I went to the Dalish, who tried to accept me, but I didn't fit in. I didn't know their history, didn't have Vallaslin ... I was an outsider. Keeper Lanaya offered to try to.
