[tonight, up on the roof of the library]

...Well.
That is that, I suppose.

[papillondejade]

...oh...

[dieinnafire]

...Majesty. I--

[dieinnafire]

Thank you.

[papillondejade]

*hopping up quietly*

Really, still that after all this time...

[dieinnafire]

I thought it best to, perhaps, show my proper respect at this time. Milady Seth.

[papillondejade]

Polite to the last, then? Sir Radu Barvon.

[dieinnafire]

Thank you for coming. I was not sure you would.

[papillondejade]

Ah...this is something I have always owed you, I believe.

[dieinnafire]

You owe me nothing. The debt has always been mine.

[papillondejade]

I have always had a debt to you, Baron of Luxor. Radu Barvon. For creating my empire with a thousand flaws, my glass castle, which you were brave enough to see past, and to rebel against.

My child: thank you. I hope there is happiness you may find, wherever you might roam.

[papillondejade]

And, speaking as Seth...

...I'm glad to have come to know you. If only we could just be people.

[dieinnafire]

As difficult as it has been, I...am glad to have gotten to know you. And though I have never been able to let the formality fully go, it would be a great honor if you could accept that I--did. think of you as a treasured friend.

[papillondejade]

*inclines her head to him, very slightly*

Of course...and I you.

[dieinnafire]

Thank you--Seth.

[papillondejade]

And thank you, Radu.

[dieinnafire]

I--...

...do not know. what I can say.
