Bali sat looking over Ulduar and its ruins. A scowl on his normally smirking face. His red lock were in disarray like he hadn't slept in a while, the dark bags under his eyes confirming that fact. What the hell was wrong with him? He had Ash, and Morv was still his best friend. Yet...Something felt...Off. Like despite all the pride and youthful sass he felt like...Something important was missing. He got up and walked down to the forge. He glanced at the burn marks, still there from his kidnapping. The image of Engi taking the hit for him, falling over and unable to breathe, her skin red from the blood plague racing through her veins. Why had he tried to save her anyway? It was her fault he'd been taken anyway... But somehow the acid curned in his stomach. Like somewhere deep down...he wasn't mad at her. But then why was he mad. He growled slightly and took off flying. He landed on a mountain top. One that made him remember something else equally annoying. Elly had tried to wake him up, he and onther woman, whos face he couldn't remember right then, because the only two faces he could picture were Engi's limp body in the snow and Elly being hurt from trying to save him. Why the fuck had they been so stupid? Did they WANT to die? "Why...why..." he felt the question echo in his brain painfully. "Because they cared about you" Morvagos came to stand beside him. Bali looked up and snorted "As if , why would they save me when I hate them?"

"Because I don't think you do" Morvagos stated calmly. "I think somewhere deep down in that young head of yours you actually do care about them, not romantically of course, but you bonded with them." Bali crossed his arms, his pride not letting him waver "Why would I ever care about a whiny bitch and an underdressed whore?"

Morvagos shrugged but glared "Engi isn't whiny, in fact the reason I'm so angry with her is because she WON'T tell anyone if something is wrong, and frankly Elly acts a lot like you." Bali snorted at that and Morvagos just sighed "I found Engi, She's hiding out near the mines in Grizzley hills. I'm on my way to Dalaran for supplies. Care to join me?"

Bali said nothing and Morvagos shrugged, "Suit yourself" he sighed before taking off.

Bali glanced back to watch him go, then somehow found himself flying like a freaking rocket towards Grizzley hills. What the fuck am I doing? He cursed as he reached the mines. He looked around a bit before he spotted those familiar Bronze locks, working away at some sort of weapon, beside her was an equally familiar head of red hair working on a ring. They both looked over curiously and time seemed to stop.

Their they were, like nothing had happened, like they never went missing for three fucking months. "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" he roared "You take off and vanish for 3 FUCKING months and now suddenly here you are like, like!" when had he started crying? "Like nothing FUCKING HAPPNED!?" he growled not even sure why he was angry until Elly placed a hand on his head. "Calm down and come try on this ring, I think its your size." she grins at him and Engi waves "I'll finish smelting the copper and then I'll make dinner!" Engi calls, moving to finish the metal. Bali just stood there, still stunned. He sniffled and wiped his tears away quickly. "If you insist.." he said trying to keep up his sassy attitude.

And just like that, in one afternoon...He found what was missing. "Heh...guess I always wanted little sisters..." he murmured to himself as they ate together.
