#####If she had believed she truly had a complete soul, she knew it would be aching at the discussion they were having. As it was, part of the way she felt was that she had never posessed an actual soul; she only felt that she had fragments, incomplete pieces that could not be fit together like the puzzle that could form a complete soul. To have a complete soul would be unbearable in this situation, as she knew that she could hardly stand thinking about Pippa as it was. Any thoughts of her sister included memories from the times they had spent together and the amazing bond that had been severed, and she simply could not handle those thoughts, memories, and feelings. Lolita was significantly less confident than Kaena seemed to be that they would ever be reunited. She almost wished that the older woman would stop talking about it, just so she would not have to think about it anymore. . . But it was in her head now, so even if they stopped their discussion, she knew she would not stop thinking about her at any point in time that would be soon enough.
#####To know that Kaena supported the idea of taking a lover was reassuring, at least, as she had taken many and wished to continue doing so. It was the least that she could do to ease her loneliness, and even though she barely knew the coyote woman, Lolita held her opinion as important. She was obviously worldly and knowledgable, and as a result, the younger woman could only assume that her opinion would actually have something to back it up. It would not just be personal opinion, like what she would get from most. Kaena had experience with love and life's trials, and that was completely obvious to the younger woman's eyes. If there was anyone she had met recently in her travels that she felt she could get an honest opinion from, then she felt that it was the woman standing before her.
#####Still, she did not want to get her hopes up, no matter how certain Kaena seemed about the situation. There was one thing she could think of, that Kaena did not know of first hand: her brother. It just seemed unlikely that she would be reunited with her sister if he still lived, but the chance was there, she supposed. "How do you know so much, and how can you be as certain about things as you seem to be?" It was all she could think of to say in response. The dead girl wished she could know as much as Kaena, or just feel even a smidgen of the confidence she thought the other to have. Cmwfen had been a similar case; she had seemed so sure of everything around her. Lolita was certainly younger than both of them, but she felt that did not matter as much. "I feel like it's not just an age thing, or even experiences, I guess," she added.
