[and by fine, Dohalim really means it's not fine. Serval already left and while it's true that they aren't as close as he and Gepard, she's still very dear to him. now that he has the time to slowly process her departure, it's starting to sink in that he won't be walking by her in the hallways, striking up conversation whenever they do pass by. she's always been so easy to talk to, and it's like she's the big sister he never had. and now that there's also the possibility that Gepard may have to leave his side too... it seems that everyone he cares about truly does leave him in the end. but, of course, it's not like he can voice this to the man, not when he brings up a good point. it's just the nature of who he is, and what family he's from. he'd just hoped that, considering how close their families are, how close they are that he could be the exception...]
I find Serval's inventions rather innovative. She could put some of the scientists in Lenegis to shame if she were to bring them back up there. I hope that whatever path she chooses from here out, she'll be able to create whatever it is she wants. Music included.
[he supposes that's why he likes her; their love for music did bring them close, and Dohalim has to smile warmly at the countless hours spent on their craft and sheet music with hastily written out notes stacked around them. simpler days, for sure, but fond memories nonetheless. and while she understood why Dohalim refuses to play his violin anymore, he does have to lament taking away the very thing that created that bond between them]
As for me... I'm not too sure. I suppose it depends on what my family wants of me. I do wish to stay here, but... I would have to make a compelling argument. [Dohalim's voice drops a little] I just don't... I don't want this realm to fall back on old ways. To the days where Dahnans would suffer day in and day out. I don't want to hear those screams and cries of anguish again. I want to see this realm grow and flourish, both in nature, and the people alike. If I were to stay here... Perhaps I could stay as an advisor to the next lord, and pray that they see the same views I do.
