[b][u]Alaira Taenn[/u][/b]

Alaira was aware of Meirin and... other guy, when they arrived thanks to her keen senses (To be fair, massive wind gusts and landings like that weren't exactly stealthy... not that anyone was trying to be), though aside from quickly debating fleeing she didn't do much... The yarosmerian said nothing, but Meirin said quite a lot of things... Alaira fell silent, sniffling as she turned to look to Meirin. She looked utterly miserable, and it was probably the first time Meirin had seen her without a trace of anger or arrogant pride. 

[b]"I don't regret what I did back then... I-if I had to die to save Lyn, it would be alright... And if I had taken just a single second to come up with a plan, I would have failed. B-but today..."[/b] She buried her face in her hands, sobbing once more. [b]"T-today I almost killed her! I-I promised I'd always be there to keep her safe, b-but she almost died! F-for no reason! And th-then you got stuck with cleaning up my mess... y-you saved her and almost died yourself, just because I had a bad idea..."[/b]

She grew silent again, wiping the tears from her eyes. [b]"Sh-she deserves better... L-like you..."[/b] She said, quietly. [b]"Y-your pretty and smart, everyone likes you... I'm just a brute... I'm just a burden, only good for wrecking shit. The most I can get from anyone is to leave me alone... I've always been alone..."[/b] Hrm, she usually wasn't willing to talk to anyone about... well, anything. Perhaps the alcohol was to blame?
