Well. Did you think I would forget? A year today, Tristan Thorn, that's when you---

I guess it doesn't very much make a difference at this point, but---

...

Has anyone here heard of a Babylon Candle?

And supposing that you have, do you know where I might find one?

[ pause ]

I would be grateful for any information on the matter.

I don't know

I think I have but...I never found out what it was.

[shiningdown]

When lit, it allows the holder to travel to where they most want to go.

[treadingdawn]

Why do you want one, Yvaine? Isn't a horse enough?

audio;

[shiningdown]

I'm afraid not.

I want to go a bit farther than that.

Though it's possible even with one in my possession I wouldn't get anywhere.

Here.

[treadingdawn]

Where are you looking to go?

[shiningdown]

Ideally, back to the place and point that I left off...and before you or anyone else says it, I do realize the likelihood is slim to none.

But I don't think it's been tried either.

[treadingdawn]

You are ready to go home?

[shiningdown]

I've been ready for that since this journey started.

[shiningdown]

If only to know how things end, yes.

Better than wondering about it for another year.

audio;

[treadingdawn]

If you know you will find yourself where you were left off then I think you will more than know how things end; you intend to see to such endings.

[shiningdown]

I want to know whether or not I go home.

My home.

Not Tristan Thorn's village of Wall. Not the kingdom of Stormhold.

I want...

audio;

[shiningdown]

I would rather it be sooner than later. That's all.

audio;

[treadingdawn]

Well, what person would I be to persuade you otherwise.

audio;

[shiningdown]

You would be... a different person. Obviously.

audio;

[treadingdawn]

And I would not want to keep you from going where you wish to be.

audio;

[shiningdown]

[ pause ]

Where do you wish to be? Still here?
