Neverwinter Forest I’m here on funky business

poor mal :(

She hadn't missed the way his face fell at her words, and it only made her feel worse about everything. She hated that she was hurting Mal because he definitely didn't deserve it, but she just didn't know how to be the normal Simmik anymore. She nodded and looked back at him when he offered his time if she ever wanted to talk or hang out. She knew he was available if she needed him, and she was grateful, but alone is often what she wanted to be. Thanks, Mal, she offered quietly. She appreciated him more than she could really express right now. 

However, now was one of the rare moments she didn't recoil from the thought of company, and he seemed to be up for a patrol. He quickly changed the subject from her, for which she was grateful, although it made her sad to think about Caerus and Liliana. She would help however he needed, though. Sure, she told him. What did you have in mind?
