On the beach a bonfire is burning, there's still light in the sky so its not at its fullest yet. Beside it cords of wood and driftwood are ready to be tossed on so it can go higher ( Read more... )

The fire is tall and high and in the sand with driftwood and other wood beside it so it can be built up as the night grows darker.

Teja stands by the bonfire, brooding quietly.

One year ago, he was by a bonfire also, speaking to Charlie whom he then barely knew; but one year ago, it was Atton's birthday, not a wake.

Teja is thinking of Charlie, of Atton, and of Doc who was just another guest, then. He sighs, deeply.

Will moves to stand beside him,

"Will burn through the night, plan on keepin' vigil with it."

Teja greets Will with a nod.

"So shall I, also."

Pause.

"I saw Ramon Salazar the other day, a free man. That is wrong."

There's a table piled high with the kind of food that just works best when its burned over a fire, sausages and marshmallows and some other things.

Also there's a cask of rum that never runs out and lots of whiskey.

Guppy gets a hot dog first, then adds rum to a coke. He takes them over to sit on a large log and watch the fire.

Will comes over to grab a sausage and nods at Guppy,

"Glad ye're 'ere."

"Thanks." Small smile. "Wouldn't have missed it for anything."

He takes a bite of his sausage.

"You seen Atton? I've got his birthday present in my inside pocket but I've not seen him for weeks. I was starting to worry."

There's a table set up not too far from where Doc's never-ending cask of rum and some of the other drinks are. On it, there is a framed photograph of Doc (and the rest of the Regulators). At one corner of the photograph, sitting on the table, is a lit candle, and near the other corner is a steel green origami crane. Kate folded it herself.

(If we're being honest, this was about her one-hundredth attempt at getting the bird to look right. A few of the 'rejects' are currently sitting in her bedroom, on her desk.)

Also on the table are some fresh flowers, and a nicely framed poem:

"Lying on high seat in the south study ( ... )

Kate starts it off:

'Since the loss of you
I've learned that when everything goes wrong,
To never give up on what is right
Because it can only make you strong.*'

*from the poem, "Since The Loss Of You," found here, because the mun was struck with a flailing fit of writer's block. :/

[ooc: for anyone who may be confused, this is just a little idea I had for your pup to put down one or two lines about how they felt about Doc or just anything in general they'd like to add. It doesn't have to rhyme. :)]

'You looked out for us,
And in turn our hearts reached towards you
And I wish that there had been more time
To do all the things that friends can do'

Will reads through what's there and in time writes:
Proud to fight beside ye an drink with ye. Hope the Lord welcomes ye. Will

When the sun has long set and the fire is burning high, Will pulls out a box of fireworks.

He's slightly wobbly as he lights them off but there are more than enough for everyone to have one.

As he sets a few off he's singing, not fully clear what he's singing but join him in music and explosions.

Teja has fetched his guitar to sing 'Yesterday' with Guppy, and has been playing, and sometimes singing, since then.

Kate's been watching and listening to him play for a while before she decides to approach, a soft smile on her face.

"That's lovely," she says.

Teja stands, and bows to her.

"Greetings, Katherine Barlow," he says. "I am glad my music pleases you; it is your cruel loss why we are here now, and why I play."
