ah beautiful, the shadowing is amazing :D

Alex: *stands in the dark some feet behind lotus* *thinks: "she looks so beautiful... but why so sad?"* *looks sad too*

Lotus:*sighs*
..... Finishing the back story now, wich is what she's thinking about,: Lotus remembers when she was younger, her grait grait grandmother telling stories of the spirits that protekted the indians, and how the could grant the gift of eternal youth to good hearted people with Gods premosion. Lotus has figured that is why she is still alive, and has outlived her kids.
wich is why Lotus looks like she is about to cry.

Alex: *still standing a good lenght behind her* *sighs* *I have to do something to cheer her up* *walks closer* uhm... do you mind? *points at the spot besides her*

Lotus: hmm? *brightens up* no not at all.

Alex: *comes closer* *looks up in the sky* what a beautiful view, it´s very rare these days... *waiting some moments then turning to Lotus* want to share your sorrow with me?

Lotus: *looks down and sighs* It's a very long story, alittle hard to talk about it. but if you realy want to here.....

Alex: *looks into Lotus eyes* you know that if you want you can always talk to me and I´ll always try to make you feel better *smiles* It´s not easy for me to... understand human emotion. But if it´s for you I´ll try my best

Lotus: *smiles back* Im just thinking about the past, my old life and my son and doughter. *closes eyes puts head down* they were only six but had the know how of you or me. They were such good kids...

Alex: *looks into the sky again* family... is something wonderful, isn´t it? I sometimes wish I ever had a family. *stares into nothingness* I haven´t had neither parents nor wife or children. There was a time when I believed that I had a sister. Her name was Dana. But... she wasn´t my real sister. At least not blood related. We helped each other and she was one of the few persons who really tried to help me and meant something to me. When she and me had found out who I really was she first was shocked...but... after that I felt that she still cared for me in some way. *pauses a bit then looks down* Then my enemies found out what she meant to me. A hunter kidnapped her right in front of my eyes. I followed and was able to rescue her but... she was in a coma. (Alex remembers the sentence the infected said when he asked about what they´ve done to her: "She´s with us now") She never woke up. Neither did the person I once was. It´s like I too fell in a coma. My whole personality changed. I wasn´t human anymore. *laughs* At least I was able to break free in the end.

Lotus: Blood or not she was still family, and as my grandfather once seid ' those of whom we love will always be with us no matter what happens. *smiles*

*still stares to the ground* love... I thought I had forgotten how to love a long time ago. *thinks to himself and then a small smile forms on his lips*
*it suddenly fades*
but not only those who love you will follow you for eternity...

Lotus: Not all good things last forever you know? Be glad for what good happens and don't look back! Or you will only get deprest, its good to remember, but not dwel on it. Other wise weres the fun in life!?*looks up* *random but cadualy* so do you remember the music there was befor everything happend?

*laughs* it´s nice if you have any good things to remember...
*thinks* music? well I heard more of rock-typed music back then *chuckles* unlike now

Lotus: heh, same here, I actualy went to a few conserts once, if I remember right, it was awesome.
