Aisling, sprawled in the shadows with her fingers steepled, says simply, "I envy you, Robin.  Any reason why I shouldn't?"

"Yes!"  Robin says with absolute certainty.      "Envy is horrible useless emotion, Aisling."  The girl's voice is soft with a hard learned – and still being learned -- lesson.  "It deafens us to other people's natures and the difficulties they face.  It severely limits our flexibility and responses to the world around us.  It eats away at our confidence, comfort and happiness until everything is ashes.  And it gives us nothing but isolation and self-pity in return."  Robin wrinkles her nose and sticks her tongue out.     "When I first came here, envy and jealousy... they built a wall between myself and what *could* have been a good friend."  Soulful green eyes look over to the Chaosian.  "They hideously curtailed my ability to find a solution to a situation where honor, duty and the friendships of a lifetime were on the line.  And they isolated me to face the greatest crisis of my life alone."      A bitter smile crosses her lips.  "Now, I can only hope that there hasn't been too much damage and that I'll have time to repair it.  But..."  Robin shakes her head.  "I don't like being in a place where I have regrets.  And usually I'm not.  Envy did that to me, Aisling.  Please don't let it do that to you."
