13th oath of the moment: The Wolf and the Moon

[lunawolves10th]

1.
[Around Mayfield, morning Garviel is visiting friends. He stops by Abel's house, just to check and make sure his friend is in fact droned for good. When he finds Abel's things nowhere around, and the typically polite but distant Frenchman almost too chummy, he stops, walking away swiftly. The confirmation is a far more bitter thing than he

[A pointy-eared shadow appears next to Garviel, growing smaller and smaller until the Bat stands next to where Garviel sits.

He is silent, simply nodding in acknowledgement.]

[Garviel nods to Batman, silent for the moment, once again looking up to the moon and stars. For the moment Garviel has the aspect of a warlike angel, cast down from the heavens, and mourning the fate that brought him here.]

[Batman simply sits down next to Garviel, taking care to make sure he doesn't get tangled up in his cape. He chooses, for once, to be the one to break the silence.]

Something on your mind?

[That would be obvious to anyone--the question is more of an invitation for Garviel to tell Batman whatever it is, if he feels so inclined.]

[lunawolves10th]

More some people... You familiar with the process of droning, by chance?

[beyondthecowl]

Yes, unfortunately. Who was it this time? Someone close to you?

[lunawolves10th]

[Garviel nods]

Two people, actually. A man and a woman.

What is punctual tagging apparently

[beyondthecowl]

[Batman reaches out and puts a hand on Garviel's arm. That hand would be on Garviel's shoulder normally, but since Garviel's a good two feet taller than Batman, that makes that a bit more difficult.]

I'm sorry.

Not necessary when you're the g-d batman

[lunawolves10th]

[Garviel nods, gratitude apparent in his movements.]

There is no need for such regret. But your concern is appreciated.

LMAO win

I know what it's like to lose people that are important to you.

Are you going to be all right? [Not a question he'd normally ask, but he's been where Garviel's at right now way too many times to count. Not with droning, but with death.

He also knows he himself is not quite all right because of it all.]

Re: LMAO win

[lunawolves10th]

[Garviel nods.] Before I arrived here, I had lost everyone important to me. Either by departure or death. I shall endure though. I know what I need to do here.
