[Capell is still sleeping when Sigmund knocks; however, the noise is enough to wake him. He gets up with a yawn and shuffles over to the door, opening it and peering out at Sigmund.]

What is it?

[Action] chaincutter October 18 2010, 19:09:57 UTC

[Poor Capell, this early in the morning and such bad news.]

Aya has returned home.

[Action] the_soother October 18 2010, 19:34:04 UTC

[Whaaaaaaa? When did she even leave home?

His brain hasn't quite cleared of its sleepy haze and the true meaning of the statement isn't registering.]

Huh?

[Action] chaincutter October 18 2010, 19:38:18 UTC

[Sigmund is just going to start nudging him back towards his bed. Go sit down, kiddo.]

She's gone.

[Action] the_soother October 18 2010, 20:10:31 UTC

[...Gone? As in gone gone?

Yeah, sitting down is a good idea. He gracelessly plops down onto the bed.]

Oh. [He can't summon up anything more intelligent to say. It's a little hard for him to think right now. The metaphorical ton of bricks he just got hit with has left him dazed.]

[Sigmund rests a hand on his shoulder and gives it a little squeeze, wordlessly. Aya had always seemed like the person Capell was closest to. This can't be easy for him.]

[Action] the_soother October 18 2010, 21:10:36 UTC

[Capell lets out a shuddering sigh. Part of him is glad that she is home and safe, but right now, it's overshadowed by the disappointment.

Silently, he bows his head and takes comfort in the fact that at least Sigmund is there.]

Thank you for telling me.

[Sigmund sits down next to him. He still needs to go tell Edward, but... Capell. That hand on his shoulder is turning into a sort of one-handed shoulder rub.]

You're not alone.

[Action] the_soother October 18 2010, 22:30:41 UTC

[Capell manages a small smile.]

I know. You and Ed are still here. [And he couldn't be more grateful for that.]

[Action] chaincutter October 18 2010, 22:55:10 UTC

It may be for the better. [Which is not to say it's any easier. But maybe it helps a bit.]

[Action] the_soother October 19 2010, 01:41:22 UTC

[Definitely not any easier, but it does help. Somewhat. He just needs a little while.]

Yeah. [But he'll probably mope around for a while despite agreeing.] It's probably safer for her.

[Action] chaincutter October 19 2010, 01:54:48 UTC

[Sigmund leans forward a bit, so that he can look Capell in the eyes.] You'll see her again.

[Action] the_soother October 19 2010, 21:30:58 UTC

[Deep breath. This isn't the end of the world. She's alive at least. He will see her again and he can't let himself think otherwise.]

Not for a while though. [Two years at the least.]

[Action] chaincutter October 19 2010, 21:55:24 UTC

Don't let it torment you. [Chin up, Capell.] It took seventeen years to find you. It was worth the wait.

[Action] the_soother October 19 2010, 23:49:26 UTC

[How can he not chin up after that? Warm fuzzies, Capell has them.]

Heh, well, I'll try not to let it.

[Action] chaincutter October 20 2010, 20:08:48 UTC

[Good. Papa won't tolerate any sad Capells on his watch.]

Are you still tired?
