Aurelius had been ever so grateful to see his old friend, he didn’t really have many of those anymore it would seem, if he ever did to be honest in the first place. Although it wasn’t as if he activity tried to make them, not that he disliked people by any means but there was just always so much to do, or perhaps he was just afraid of getting close to others. Afraid he might let them down or say something stupid, his father did always say to keep his mouth shut did he not? It had never been that way with Sybil however, she had always treated him with nothing but reverement and kindness. @sybeaumont
She was younger than him, yes; but to be fair the lap dog had been a rather stunted youth emotionally in his younger years, still was. He could recall times she’d stuck up for him as if he’d been the younger one and he could also recall the times she’d run up and jump in his arms, of course he’d been a rather gangly young man but he’d hoist her up all the same into a warm embrace. He would always catch her, he thinks even now it is the same. He wonders what happened somewhere down the line, she is now to be married and he with his own life, it saddens him to think they’d lost touch all the time, he tries not to dwell on it too much, to think of the here and now; that she is tangible yet again in his life. He’d been out looking for Theodore a Sanda Mel gift when something caught his eye, stowed away in a small box of trinkets on a street side stand had been a small sundial necklace and while his thoughts had been on the healer seeing this necklace couldn’t help but remind him of the not so young girl he’d seen again recently. Aurelius wants to keep in touch with Sybil, he wants to hold her dear to him again, to not lose track of someone once so important, she still was of course and it had been as if time hadn’t skipped a beat; except it very much had. He scoops up the pendant in his hands, inspecting it as if he could already see the look in her eyes when she’d receive it. He hoped giving her the gift didn’t seem too odd or forward and he’d simply thought of her and couldn’t help himself, besides what were the chances he’d find something like this right before the holiday and right after seeing her?! He thinks for once the gods had smiled upon him as of late.
