IC Burninating the countryside

[littlestsoldier]

*Close to the edge of the barrier, far from the center of camp, a cornfield has just caught fire. The cause? A certain mopey archangel of fire who is currently hanging out on a nearby tree branch.*

Mika?

((When I run out of paid time, Sara gets Gabriel'd. :|b))

[littlestsoldier]

*The only response is the fire spreads and grows a bit larger*

[withwhitewings]

*Softly*

Michael...

[littlestsoldier]

...

*Sits down by the trunk of the tree, willing to just be nearby*

I'm sorry.

[littlestsoldier]

What for? You didn't know her.

[withwhitewings]

Because Mika misses her.

[littlestsoldier]

That's nothing to be sorry for. It's my own fault for getting attached.

[withwhitewings]

No, I think it's good that you did. Besides, it wouldn't hurt if it hadn't felt equally as good, I think...

I wish there was something I could do, though.

[littlestsoldier]

There's not really.

[withwhitewings]

*pauses for a long moment, then sighs.*

I love you, Mika-chan. You know that, right?

[littlestsoldier]

That doesn't change the fact she's gone.

[withwhitewings]

But it's why I'm sorry, too.

[littlestsoldier]

....what?

[withwhitewings]

You'll think it sounds hokey, but when you're hurting, your family hurts for you too. So you're never really alone in it.

[littlestsoldier]

The hurting isn't the same though.
