"I lost him...a long long time ago...and that's why I can't lie to you and tell you the pain will go away. It never does..."
She...was tormented by loss quite a bit...too much to ever really move on..
"It gets easier...and one day you'll feel better about it...but the pain never truly leaves you."
Nightmother: Nyx
"I feel like I don't even know what to do anymore..."
She trailed off, frowning as she rested beside the other, "Your husband too...? I'm...so sorry to hear that."
She exhaled deeply, her eyes still watery from all the thoughts in her head.
"I relive that day every single day, it feels."

"And the news of my husband still flash in my mind every so often...I can't help but hurt over it still..."
That shadowy tentacle continued to stroke her back slowly...doing it's best to comfort her...
"These things never truly leave you...you just have to continue onward despite it all..."
Nightmother: Nyx
"Just...still mourning my son. My own shortcomings cost him his life. And I can't ever change that..."
She sighed, curling herself up more into a ball.
"It's been so long but I still hear it like yesterday."
A Goddess Wearing Away
"It's alright. We all need our time to talk...I've nothing better to do anyway.."
She yawns again...her eyes fluttering softly as she tried to get herself fully awake...
"We can stay and talk...for as long as you need to.."
Nightmother: Nyx
Another shudder. A soft, pained sigh leaving her.
"Delaying the inevitable... I wonder sometimes if that's all I did in the end..."
Slowly, she drew a breath to try to steady herself.
"...heh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be complaining..."
A Goddess Wearing Away
"I guess so..but it only delayed the inevitable...I had to approach him eventually.."
Palutena would feel a gentle stroke along her back...one of the goddess' shadowy tentacles has taken to comforting her fellow goddess
"Something certainly did..you could say that..."
Nightmother: Nyx
"...did it help-? Did you feel better...?"
Palutena...shivered a bit, actually. Rolling onto her side, she drew her legs to her chest, trying so hard to roll into a ball.
"... surely something happened to make you sleep like that."
A Goddess Wearing Away
"I've slept far longer than I've wanted to here before...although not without reason..."
She DID sleep through the entire Uprising War after all...Gods know what could've pushed her to that...
Nightmother: Nyx
"Huh."
Realizing she was teetering tiredly on her feet, she decided to flop down beside her. A bit hard, even.
Carelessly.
"...I wonder if I lay here long enough, I'll fall asleep long enough to go numb."
A Goddess Wearing Away
...yaaaawn~
"Its...not much to worry about..I rarely get visitors nowadays...and any that do brave the journey here respect me enough to keep their distance..."
She seems...oddly comfortable...
Nightmother: Nyx
"You know, sleeping on the ground outside isn't the best idea. You good there?"
A Goddess Wearing Away
Yaaaaawn...
"Oh now..where was I...?"
Seems she had just woken up-!
