Sun Mote Copse silver lining

To be honest, Wraen had not given Eljay much credit, considering him weak-willed and somewhat cowardly. Sometimes stupidly stubborn. His low self-esteem was a quality of his that she would not be able to tolerate daily. But she also realized that her observations were very subjective and were born out of the fact that she would never be a "nurturing type" in a relationship. There were women out there, who wanted to save the world and would consider Eljay a God's given gift and Life-long-mission to save and fix him, but the Sovereign was not one of them. Last year before Wildfire had mated with him and shortly after her death Wraen had toyed with the idea of, whether she should claim the man, but a year had been a very long time to quench any spark on her side. 

But this did not mean that she was heartless or immune to the depth of pain that still tormented Eljay. She knew she could not step in his shoes, even if she tried. Wraen had never loved another person like that and therefore could not even begin to imagine, how it felt to be in his place. The Sovereign did not say much, she walked to stand next to him and leaned her head against his shoulder in a comfortign gesture. Whene the time felt right, she retreated and said: "I heard that Maia planned to go out scouting for Elfie. Don't you wish to go with her? It would give you time away from Firebirds, where everything reminds you of her. And it would give you something else to do. We would look after Weejay in your absence. And Maia is all you need for a good comrade. I am not suggesting that you let anyone inside your heart, while you are not ready, but you need a good friend as a start. You should not walk alone."
