Broken Antler Fen Llewellyn

"Alone and feeling alone are two different things," Lele pointed out, not answering the question directly. "Alone" was a state you where in either by choice or circumstances. You could remedy that by finding people. "Feeling alone" was an emotion. It happened to you regardless of, whether you were on your own or surrounded by people. She had been alone for a long time, but not felt particularly lonely. Sometimes. 

"Do you?" she asked in return, meeting Teya's gaze briefly, but to her the intensity of it (or, what she thought she saw there) was hard to bear and she looked away.
