Firestone Hot Springs Is it getting any better

ooc: sad, but beautiful. I think that Coldplay's "Scientist" sums it up nicely - "Nobody said it was easy. Oh, it's such a shame for us to part. Nobody said it was easy. No one ever said it would be so hard. I'm going back to the start."

[size=medium]"I will," Osprey promised, glad that there was at least something she could do for her friend, because otherwise she had this feeling that their meeting and reunion... which should have been a happy thing had not quite gone that way. That she had hurt her friend's feelings without intending to do so. The worst part was that she did not know, how in their circumstances she could make things right again. [/size]

[size=medium]"I am sure, I will find it," she lied and smiled, knowing well that with her sight becoming worse she would never be able to make long journeys again. But Charon did not have to know that.  "Good luck and..." she paused, "... see you later then." A "good-bye" would be final and she had not quite given up the hope of making things between them right again. At some point. [/size]

[size=medium]But for some reason, as she turned around and made her way back to the plateau, tears were rolling down her cheeks. The ray of hope for a brighter future did not manage to go through the thick clouds of grief that day. [/size]
