Something was wrong, something was very wrong. "hey Ai what's going on?" He watched in concern as all of the confidence and energy leave Ai as she started to open the letter, it hurt him to see her hands trembling as much as they were. His words seemed to not even reach her as her eyes slowly lined the writing that was on the paper, the further her eyes went down the page the deeper the pit in his stomach grew. Please don't say what I think it says Adam thought as he craned his neck to try and get of glimpse of what the letter said, he couldn't make out any of the words except two: Come home.
Who knew that just two simple words amongst a whole letter could have brought his hope crashing down as much as they did, just then at his lowest a realization hit the half-elf. An answer to all of the questions that were panging around his head in the last couple of minutes, Love. He had fallen for Ai, a realization that came far too late as she stood up and made her way to the door. The tightness in his chest increased as his head followed her exit, no no no no, Adam, do something. MOVE! he commanded in his mind. "No wait Ai ... Don't go" His voice cracked and tears started to well up at the corners of his eyes as he quickly sat up and followed her. The air got heavier with every step towards her and in a flash of courage as he gently grasped her wrist. He wasn't trying to stop her, he wasn't even sure what his plan was after this but that didn't matter he had to prevent the worst outcome from happening. "Ai ... p-please tell me what's going on. Let me help you" the desperation in his voice only made the tears that were threatening to spill over, flow down his cheeks like waterfalls. "You're not truly going back to Zienav, are you? but you just got here."
He gazed into to her eyes only to see that see the decision had already been made, and that made the pit in his stomach the widest it had ever been. As tears stained his face, he cursed fate for playing this horrible joke on him; pulling the half-dragon away just he as he realized he wanted to be hers. "Oh gods, you really are leaving. Well today has been one of the best days of my life and meeting you has truly changed my life. And here I want you to have this to hopefully remember me by." He gently tore out the page of his notes on their interview, careful to not mess up the partially done sketch of her. He neatly folded it and placed in into her open hand. "Please don't forget me and Ai I ... I-I-" He wanted to say the two final words so badly but no matter how hard he willed they got caught in his throat, Adam say it! Say you love her you might not see her again, now is your chance!. he barked in his head "I ... I'm going to miss you" he couldn't do it and shamed washed over him.
