This is going to be a long thread... you want fun stuff happen, but your toon wants to wallow in her depression. :D Sorry!

"That's the point. The usefulness to others," Sarah repeated, what Mahler's word thoughtfully. "I am not used to kneel before those, who I do not know or respect, or like. And those few that I wanted to be useful to are either gone or dead or did not need it," she spoke audibly, but it was not clear, whether it was with herself or with her companion.

But she decided not to dwell on this too much anymore. In Mahler's company she did feel a tiny bit better, safe even. She had needed someone to tell her that breaking down was no reason to feel ashamed. "I could benefit from keeping you forever," she said suddenly and in the brief look she gave him, there was both a grin and a smile and an edge of cheekiness as well.

"But you have your grand plan and I... I would not wish to share," Sarah concluded and sighed, then - feeling confused and embarrassed about, why she had loosened the reins on herself - she got up to her feet and shook her coat. "Maybe I can steal your company for a while though?" she side-glanced at him.
