Right. I suppose I always wonder how others deal with it. People move on. In this case, I'm not sure we have a choice. It's a nice comfort to think they're better served somewhere else. But, my years have made me rather selfish with some.
{ to let people simply go, have the will to move from it. elrond might be stronger in that aspect than him. }
[ he loved his father, despite never knowing the timbre of his voice. he loved his mother, despite the fact that she left them behind in a cave to accept their fate. he loved elros even as their grip loosened upon the shore. he loved the elves, even if he will always seem lesser or greater depending upon his countenance and deeds. ]
But a heart is not a canvas. It is a song. And it can sing again.
I don’t think I’ve been without a companion in both my human and vampire life.
{ all his immortal companions by his side in body and mind. he’d been prepared to have it be just him when he arrived and realized he wasn’t in dubai anymore. now it’s truly him alone in ways that make him acknowledge what he once had, that he wants it more than ever. louis wants to keep loving, but it eats at him when he does. }
I say this with respect. I both envy and admire your outlook.
I've dealt with philosophies too long. I'm not sure everything has a practical explanation. But, we can try.
The enforced factions are someone's doing. What I do know, is that eventually everything has an expiration. Do we bid our time, or search for a way to catch up to the inevitable? I've been pondering this as of late, considering our unique position as immortals.

I imagine their fortunes are better served elsewhere and I do not begrudge them that.
[ and elrond has never been enough to make anyone stay. not his father. not his mother. not even his twin brother. in the end, they all depart. ]

There is only shame when you force your will against theirs.

In truth, I have gotten used to it. I make companions wherever I go, but they all choose different paths.
As for my own path, I am still undecided.

I admit I also find myself undecided with what I want to forge out here, if my path is meant in Solvunn at all.

But perhaps that is a boon in itself.

Overall, I am not a fan of the faction division. Back home I had a familiar concept. I would say it wasn’t a great time for me or my people.

It depends on the trajectory of events. I do not wish to take away the agency of others in regards to this, even with a long-lived life.
