Having finished telling her friends and teammates about her past Evelyn received words of sympathy from both Rehni and Bylur.
They had known that something bad had happened to Evelyn in the past to make her wary of making connections, but the truth of the situation was far worse than what they had imagined.
In fact they did not even truly know the half of it. Evelyn's traumatic experiences went far beyond what had just happened to her in this life, but her previous one as well. In some ways it is a miracle that she managed to form any connections again at all.
"Thank you both for your kind words. I have been doing my best to work past what happened and becoming friends with the two of you has really helped." Evelyn said, a warm look in her eyes that surprised Bylur and Rehni.
Up to this point they had never seen such a genuinely happy expression on Evelyn's face, which was normally just blank in order to hide her emotions.
