You Are Not Alone [Giselle]

[Crona]

(ooc: July 9. Open only to Giselle and Crona.)

As strange as it might have sounded, Crona felt that it was too quiet. Nothing of any particular importance had been going on since the wizard had left for his home the previous day, and this saddened Crona. The only reason it did was because in the silence he began to think about all the things he missed. His thoughts had led him to a balcony where he decided to rest his head against his arms while he stared out into the space in front of him. As strange as it seemed, he missed Ragnarok nagging him. He missed Black*Star and his antics, Tsubaki's quiet ways... even Kid and his obsession with symmetry were missed. It didn't even need to be said that he missed Maka. She'd been his best friend, and now he was alone. This thought caused the pink-haired angel to sigh a little. Why did he have to be so alone? Was he doomed to forever find himself deprived of friendship?

...Well, that wasn't entirely true. Crona knew he at least had made a couple of friends while in the Kingdom of Light. He just felt so... alone. Even among his own 'kind', he supposed, he felt like an outcast. He was just the timid teen that didn't know how to deal with things. No one else had that problem. Ion was quiet, sure, but he had found a position of importance among the angels. Crona? He was just Crona. Nothing more and nothing less than that. Crona hated that fact, but he didn't know if he could do anything about it.

Great... now I feel even worse.

Almost as if he were admitting defeat, Crona allowed himself to slip into a sitting position against the balcony as another sigh passed through him. He brought his knees in closer to his body and wrapped his arms around them. Why did this always have to happen? Why did he always have to feel so alone?

[Giselle]

Giselle was still getting used to the fact that she now had wings. But a deep lonley pain had entered her heart and it had worried her. Her death had caused a war. Several people had already been hurt. She was responsible. As if the world wasn't bad enough already. Now she couldn't even let Musa or the others know.

She slowly made her way out to the balcony where she saw the same boy from before. "Crona? What are you doing out here?"

[Crona]

There was that voice again. The voice belonging to the redheaded former nymph that seemed to have gotten the ball rolling for a war. Crona didn't blame her for it, as she'd had no intention to start such a catastrophe, but he did wonder how she felt about the whole thing. Dark blue eyes shifted from his hands to her face, and for a long moment he stayed silent. He didn't know what he should say. Crona didn't even know what really was wrong with him. It was as if all the feelings of loneliness, misery, and doubt he had ever felt before were flooding his being and making it difficult for him to keep focused. It didn't help that he really was missing his friends from before he had become an angel.

"...It's complicated." he finally murmured. Even that didn't seem like a good way to describe what was going on in his head. He didn't know how to word it. How could he explain what felt like years of loneliness and the like crashing down on him and making him feel miserable? "I don't really know how to... describe it. I guess... it just feels like I'm all alone here. Even though everyone is so nice, and I feel welcome, it's like..." Crona let himself trail off. He didn't want to end up talking in circles, but how was he supposed to get his point across?

"...It's like I'm the only one having problems adjusting." he finally decided to say.

[Giselle]

Giselle shook her head and placed a hand on Crona's arm. "That's not true. You may think you are the only one that is adjusting here, but its not. Even now Proteus is still adjusting, Molly, Anya, everyone. Especilaly myself." she smiled gently. "I promise, that no matter what. I will stay with you."

[Crona]

"R-Really?"

Crona almost couldn't believe it. He did want to believe it, really he did, but part of him just couldn't. People had said they would stay with him before. Maka had promised, too, but they had wound up separated by fate. It was as if the world was setting the poor boy up for one disappointment after another. Giselle, though, seemed truthful. That was enough to put the pink-haired teen at ease to some degree.

"I... I didn't think anyone here would want to do that for me. I mean, I barely know anyone here. No one has..." Crona let himself trail off as he shook his head a little. Why was he beating around the bush, anyway? She was being kind enough to offer to stay with him when others would have backed out on him. That was all he needed, right? ...Right. The slightest hint of a smile returned to his features after a moment. "You... really won't abandon me? Like so many others have?" Crona decided to ask.

[Giselle]

"Of course not. I would never do anything like that Crona." Giselle said giving a soft smile. "I never abandoned my friends in need, and now that i am an angel i have to do my duty to keep the peace here. I would hate for more innocent people to get hurt."
