[Animayhem]

Having been an orphan, being alone was something he thought he would get used to. Mayhap if he had not had relationships it would hurt less.
He felt like the man who fishes, catches the fish but only to have it slip away.

Although it cut deeply, he realized that unless some sort of miracle he and Alyisse would be nothing more than friends. Close yet apart.

Some other men would most likely visit brothels, but he wanted more. Yes they could provide "comfort" but it would be more of an act than actual.

His mind wondered back to Bree. The time was not right then but mayhap now.
