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

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:
'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. :)]
Fi stares at the words on the page for a long time. Maybe it's the smoke that's making her eyes water. Eventually, she picks up the pen and starts to write.
Of all the money that ere I had, I spent it in good company. And of all the harm that ere I've done, alas was done to none but me. And all I've done for want of wit, to memory now I cannot recall. So fill me to the parting glass. Goodnight and joy be with you all.
Of all the comrades that ere I had, they're sorry for my going away, And of all the sweethearts that ere I had , they wish me one more day to stay, But since it falls unto my lot that I should rise while you should not, I will gently rise and I'll softly call, "Goodnight and joy be with you all!"

'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.*'
