[Right when the the feed starts, purring is heard. Hedy hit Suki's 'berry without her realizing it.]

I'm sorry. [Suki sounds like she's been crying, having a hard time catching her breath.] Don't worry about me, alright. You must be sad too. Come here. [It can't be seen but Suki hugs Hedy. Her soft cries can be heard though.] I miss him. I miss all

[It takes Amy a little while to decide exactly what to do, what to say, but finally she picks up her 'berry and calls.]

Hey Suki... It's Amy. I don't want to intrude but do you mind if I come over? I... [She clears her throat. A large lump has taken up residence there and it shows no sign of going away any time soon.] Well, I'd like to talk to you. If that's alright.

Amy? You were friends with them too, right?

Uh yeah. It's fine. I'm in suite four.

[audio -> in person]

[kiss0gram]

[A short pause.] Yeah, I was. Thank you. I'll be right there. [She hangs ups the 'berry and heads for suite 4.]

[A few minutes later she reaches her destination and knocks on the door.] Suki?

[Suki forced herself up to open the door.]

Hey. [She smiled at the red head.] Come in. [She stepped aside to let the other girl in.]

Hi. Thanks. [Amy returns the smile and steps into the room. She walks a few paces before turning around to look at Suki. Her eyes are watery and red-rimmed. She's spent some time crying herself.]

Listen. I know that we aren't really friends or anything, but I just wanted to come by. [How is she possibly going to say this? She has no idea how to express what she wants to in words. She looks away and rubs her hands up and down her arms, trying to collect her thoughts.]

I know how important they were to you, and you were to them. I know that what you felt... [She corrects herself.] Feel. I know, it goes much deeper than most of the relationships we make in this place and I understand how much it hurts. I just wanted to say that I'm so, so sorry. I want to do anything I can to help you through this. And, well... [Finally she looks up again to meet Suki's eyes.] I loved them too.

[Suki listened to Amy and everything she said, but the only thing going through her mind was Don't cry, and she was doing a good job, but then Amy said those last words and her heart broke all over again. It wasn't Amy's fault; Suki felt like it was going to break even at the mention of their names. The tears formed in her eyes, falling down her cheeks.]

I am so sorry Amy. I'm sorry you have to go through this.

[Alright. That's not exactly what she wanted to happen. She didn't want to make her cry. But really, what did she expect? Was there anything else to really do now but mourn and believe that it's better for them not to be here anymore? She wishes there were more that they could do. Suddenly, she finds herself crying too.]

Oh, Suki. I didn't mean to make you cry again. [She's not really thinking when she does this, but Amy closes the space between then and pulls Suki into a hug. Only hoping that it isn't more of an intrusion than she has already caused.]

[in person]

[tessenwarrior]

No! No. It's alright. [Suki whispers to Amy while hugging her.] It's just...I never thought I make a family here, but then they came along and everything just changed.

I'm happy they had you too.
