Name: Scathach
Date: Before the Dorchacht celebrations, late evening
Format: Voice

[ The voice is a solemn one, if familiar to some. The statement is kept simple, as little else needs to be said. If you know, you know, you know? ]

If you were friend or colleague to a girl by the name of Zelda, you should know that she is no longer within this world. Her scent has left the city, and is not even in the outskirts beyond.

[ It probably wasn't strictly necessary for her to say anything. Even a little trite. But she knew Zelda was connected to the community. It mattered. But that was all she had to say, in the end, too. ]

And you have my gratitude, and love, for it...

[ Scathach reached for a kerchief left on the nightstand to wipe her face, just as quickly returning to nuzzle against Jill, her tail waving just slightly... ]

I think I've cried enough... I just feel tired, now.

[Jill planted a gentle kiss on Shadow's forehead.

She really wanted to say "I'll be here when you wake up" but she couldn't guarantee that. Given the sudden disappearance they were both still coping with, perhaps it wasn't the best time to say something like that.]

We can stay right here, then.

I'll hold you for as long as you want me to.

[scatmaam]

Falling asleep in the arms of a bonny girl like you, I feel as if my dreams will only be welcoming...

[ Love and warmth in her words, but also, perhaps more than anything else; gratitude. It would take her some time yet to truly say goodbye to Zelda. After all, a year might not have seemed like much to an ageless immortal like her, but she clung to each and every year, every moment of that year, as a reminder of her humanity. To keep herself from falling into that ever tempting void of ennui that her infinite time allowed her. ]
