I'm Gailardia Galan Gardios. I'm just a trophy of Malkuth, since my House doesn't hold any more political clout than it did before I assumed my real name. I've drifted away from the others, and Luke still...hasn't come back. It's hard to keep the faith that he will, with every month that passes. I'm lonely there, and afraid to go back to that loneliness. Here, I need Luke more than I think he needs -or wants- me, and I don't know how to take you back to Auldrant...if you'd even want to go. I don't have any particularly redeeming qualities or strengths, and most people associate with me for the prestige of being on friendly terms with the "last Gardios" and to get some funding for a project. I have no purpose on Auldrant. I'm useless.

Those are my problems.

The reason I don't talk about them is because they make me a sad, bitter person. But that doesn't mean I'm unhappy. Even if I'm worried about something, I can still be joyful about something else.

Please don't assume I'm lying to you when I smile. You and...well. Everyone I have here has made me happier than I've been in a very, very long time.
