[The comm clicks on to a heavy breath. There's a pause before Vie speaks, and when she does her voice is lacking it's usual enthusiasm. Instead Vie's tone is quiet but firm, an attempt at hiding any emotion but failing more than she would like to admit.]

Marco.

[Another pause. This is harder than she thought.]

You have my loyalty. I will aid you in whatever way I can, just as I did him.

[And that's all you get. She's forced calm for long enough for today. Vie shuts off the comm and lets it drop to the ground beside her.

Anyone passing along Deck 12 might notice a young woman sitting against the door of room 1212. She's hugging her knees to her chest and staring blankly ahead. Not wanting to believe that she's lost her closest friend once again, Vie is waiting. Silently she prays to every god she's ever believed in to bring him back, or at very least protect Godric and everyone else that's vanished without a trace where ever they are now.

Vie refuses to think any of those lost to be dead.]

(ooc: She won't be much for conversation right now. Vie's not taking the loss of Godric very well. This is the third time that she's let someone in only to lose them a short time after. She's got a pretty short fuse and is severely lacking patience. If she snaps, it's nothing personal. Vie's a bit of an emotional wreck right now. In time she'll be back to normal. For now? approach at your own risk. :<)

[Kevas knows that tone and he's not bothering to reply. Instead he goes out looking for her. He can guess where she might be and sure enough there she is. He's not sure just what her relationship was to Godric but it doesn't matter to him. Right now Vie needs someone so he'll do his best to help.

He doesn't say anything when he approaches. There's not much he can say honestly. Instead he just leans against the wall next to her and waits with her. At the very least he can give her some company.]

[Vie likes the company, more so when it's a friend like Kevas. His silence is appreciated.

For a time, Vie doesn't speak, simply sitting and staring ahead. She shifts, stretching her legs out in front of her and glances up at him.]

Sorry for this, Kevas. I'm not much for conversation right now.

[It's not a dismisal, rather a quiet explanation for her current state.]

[When she speaks Kevas looks down at her and offers her a comforting smile.]

It be alright. Can't say I know what be goin' t'roo joor head right now, but I be knowin' what it be like to loose somemon.

[And because of that he'll stay here, offering her a shoulder to lean on until she doesn't need him or wants him to go.]

[She nods and meets his eye. From where she's sitting, he looks like a bit of a giant.]

I think it's... shock. Once I come to terms with what's happened and accept that it is done, then I'll be...

[Vie shrugs a shoulder. If this wasn't the third time, she would be handling it much better.]

[He slides down to the floor so he's no longer towering over her. Kevas really wishes he knew what to say here and that it would take away the pain she feels. Instead he just reaches out and places a hand on her shoulder.]

Can't promise jah dat I gonna be here forevah, but what I can promise jah be dat, as long as joo still be needin' me, I'll be dere fuh jah.

[There's so much more he wishes he could do for her right now but right now it looks like this is the best he can do.]

[The hand on her shoulder is enough to shake Vie out of her daze. She looks to Kevas, expression a little brighter than before. Vie knows that he's right.]

And I the same to you.

[Vie hadn't really stopped to think about the friends she has on this boat until now. Perhaps it's time to stop dwelling on the past and move forward. She'll work on that. Vie reaches up to put her own hand on his and give it a gentle squeeze.]

Thanks.

Joo ain't gotta t'ank me. It be what I be here fuh.

[Because, whether you like it or not Vie, Kevas has adopted as one of his own and there's nothing he wouldn't do for his family.]

[Words seem to be failing her right now, so Vie just gives that big troll hand another squeeze before letting it go. Somewhere along the line, Kevas has worked his way into Vie's circle. To her, he's not just a friend. He is Nahnzel, roughly translating to 'comrade' in common and being one of the most respected titles to give to an ally.]

I'll get up, soon.

[But not just yet.]

[Kevas gently squeezes back and remains silent. There are times when there are no use for words and this is one of them. Instead he just stays by her side to keep her company.]

Den I'll wait wid joo.
