Neverwinter Forest Paradise on the right, hell on the left

Probably getting close to wrapping this as Mal is getting difficult. XD

But I want more than that. Maybe at the time it had totally sounded ok, but now it didn't. Now it just felt cruel that maybe he had a tiny chance of some sort of slightly more traditional happiness only to have a giant hole blown in it by logistics. Even if it went perfect, best case scenario, how much time would he still be alone?

See? No answers. What if he was wrong about it all and she was just being nice to be nice? He'd make a fool of himself. He really didn't have much more to say about it, but at least she could see the issue. If Mal had known that his troubles he'd brought up with all of them had ended up putting them in such a bad light for Simmik, maybe he'd have held his tongue. But he didn't hate any of them, or really have any bad feelings... He just wanted them to like him.
