Part 789: Morgan A

Morgan! You're not gonna believe this!

What? What happened?

After we spoke, I decided to reach out and join the group. I've been talking to the others more, and I make it a point to keep smiling. Not like an idiot, mind you, but just... you know. All friendly-like.

Great! How's it working out?

It was pretty awkward at first, and everyone was still a bit cold. But they've since warmed up! Now I've got people dropping by to chat all the time!

hey, that's wonderful!

For the first tim, I actually feel like part of a team.

Well, I'm really glad to hear it, Yarne.

It never would have happened without your advice, Morgan. I'm really glad we started talking. I'd always watched you and wished I could be like that. Now I think I'm even ready to take the lead in combat and start protecting my friends!

I don't know what to say, Yarne. I'm blown away. *sniff*

Whoa, whoa, whoa--! Why are you tearing up?

I'm just really, really happy for you. I'd noticed before, you know? You always looked so lonely.

I guess I was, until you came along. You're the best friend a taguel could ask for! And I'm going to keep at it until I'm as good a friend to you!

I know it won't take but a week, tops!
