Ouroboros Spine so long gone

Having someone with me would be good.. Aiolos decided then and lifted himself up from the side of the lake, pausing there as though to allow her to take the lead a moment before he would join her side. 

Though Aiolos had thought it best to go alone at first, so that he need not speak about what had recently transpired, he instead decided company would be good. Especially a soft and gentle company as Ajei. She was a sensitive girl. She got nervous, shy and scared easily. Because of this, she had learned to see the uncertainty and unease in others. She new how softly to handle it, because she knew her own feelings to be the same. She would make a good counselor, he felt. 

This, and she would be there to keep Aiolos thoughts from wandering back into those dark corners of his mind.
