[:((((((((((((((((((((]

Ah.

I'm sorry, Smellerbee.

[femininecharms]

[much later]

It's him you should feel sorry for.

[lifeandliesof]

[a pause. he doesn't know much about Jet, but he can hint a guess at what that means]

My condolences.

Can I do anything for you?

[femininecharms]

Can your magic or whatever it is bring people back?

[charmandsmiles]

[:|]

[femininecharms]

[:<]

[charmandsmiles]

[have some pen-tapping, Smellerbee] You going to be alright?

[femininecharms]

[still writing]

I guess.

smellerbee; Jun would have totally been the first one if I wasn't sleeping.

[iknowhowtogetit]

[it takes her a while, but she knows she has to say something. anything.]

...at least you got to see him again.

Jun; SHE'S FIRST IN BEE'S HEART

[femininecharms]

Yeah. And then he died. Again.

[won't be cheered up easily]

smellerbee; I guess with the FFs leaving, Jun kind of has to be. >>

[iknowhowtogetit]

[well, for once, Jun isn't going to pick on her for being a little brat about things. she's kind of justified today.]

The point is, you got a second chance that no one else usually gets. And I know you made that time worthwhile.

jun; very...true. how does it feel, Jun?

[femininecharms]

[long pause. she knows Jun is right, but it's hard to feel grateful right now]

..You don't know that.

[cruxified]

...

[Damn, Five and Jet gone in the same day.

FML]

My apologies.

[femininecharms]

[FML, indeed :<]

Yeah, you.. too. [doesn't know what to say; all these people she barely knows who were close to Jet.. what's the right way to handle this?]

[cruxified]

... He was an excellent fighter, a strong leader, and a spirited warrior. I had the pleasure of training him in other sword arts in secret for many months.

[femininecharms]

He was- [voice breaks; she can't tell you how much she appreciates hearing that, but she does. a lot]

[a pause, then clears her throat a bit] I thought he'd gotten better. [hesitates, but:] What was he like as a student?

[mmm_paradise]

Aha.

[femininecharms]

Yeah. [tries to sound...menacing. it ends up sounding more like she has a cold]

[mmm_paradise]

They have medicine for that, you know.

[femininecharms]

For what? Having to deal with skinny creepers? I wish.
