Lost Creek Hollow she's so high

A challenging Advisor trade thread, huh? :P

Sarah listened to Nikai, who struggled at coming up with a solution, and thought idly that doing a wolf-equivalent of a hearty slap would do her more good than this rambling. Hadn't he heard her earlier? She had said (or, perhaps, thought or... let's keep in mind that she is unreliable narrator) there was nothing and no one. Geez.

But, what really got her, was the last sentence - she should honor her relatives' memory by doing something they liked. She grew pale (that's the description for a sense of draining feeling) and clenched her teeth, as if she was holding herself from saying something particularly devastating. He was no good, was he? Or rather - he was good at poking and prodding, where it hurt the most, the... the... scoundrel. 

"Have you ever lost anyone dear to you? Try to think about that and then multiply it by ten," she told him coldly. "And then you would get just a hint at the extent of my problems."
