Kit's thumb stroked soothingly over the back of Drew's hand. "I feel that whatever I do, it could...take something away from me. I want to be with you and I want to be part of your life, but I want to be me as well. But, then, if being me is the thing that messes us up, then...I don't know how to deal with that."
"I don't not want... I like who you are. Can't we meet in the middle here?"
"Where's the middle?"

Solace hadn't actually lied or led him on. At worst they'd been slightly evasive and let Drew draw his own conclusions. So he had no reason to feel betrayed.
Except he did. Utterly.
What he really wanted to do was gquit, turn off his computer, and go hide in a hole forever, but that would have made him a total dick. It wasn't the guild's fault that he'd broken the first rule of the internet.

To [Solace]: you fishing?
[Solace] whispers: Yes
[Solace] whispers: It helps me wind down after a raid

[Solace] whispers: You can come join me if you like
[Solace] whispers: you don't have to

[Solace] whispers: :)

Solace is now group leader.

Drew was sweating slightly as he mashed his rotation. It wouldn't really be his fault if they wiped, but he was the best geared tank on the server and he didn't want to be dragged down by some mouth-breathing pillock with an RP-inappropriate name.
Also, Solace was kind of depending on him. And the healer wasn't dying on his watch.
His health dipped, and he threw up Wall of Blades as one more cultist keeled over.
