She stood there, looked me in the eyes
asked in a quivering, cautious cadence,
"How long do half-elves live?"
And it would have been the most heartbreaking thing
If I had still had a heart
(After that girl who was more beautiful than she was living -
but it had to be done.)
But I still answered
As warm as I could
With Melora not by my side,
Not in my heart,
But, perhaps, cooking up a jambalaya
in my stump.
And in that moment
I know she would sacrifice herself
Sacrifice anything
Just to better the lives of others.
That girl is a treasure
And I hope not to forget it.
