[Anise hadn't even been gone a full day yet and Ion already didn't know what to do with himself. It hurt to look across the hall and know that the room was empty. It hurt knowing he wouldn't see Anise's smiling face as she cooked breakfast in the morning. It hurt knowing he wouldn't get to spend another day with her around the village. It hurt ( Read more... )

[Tear hasn't been around the house much, coming home just shortly before Ion did. The pain of losing Natalia, then Anise in less than a day was still on her mind, making it hard to enter the quiet household knowing that the guardian wouldn't be there to greet her. It felt wrong.

She'll come out once she realizes Ion isn't coming in, joining him in silence on the front porch. Sometimes words couldn't express how one felt.]

[Ion doesn't acknowledge Tear's presence right away. He's spent the whole day avoiding his thoughts and now that he'd finally calmed down... well. It was finally settling in that Anise was back home now. He wasn't quite at peace with that idea just yet, but he was getting there. It would just take more time...]

[He looks up at the starry night sky, his voice soft when he speaks.] ...it's cold tonight, isn't it?

Yes it is... [Beyond that, she doesn't know what to say, she had never been good with these things without coming off as scolding. So she looks up at the sky too, thinking back on what Aether said about his home long ago.]

At least the sky is clear...

[He nods. His eyes remain locked on the sky, his expression somewhat hard to read. His voice remains even and calm, despite being so quiet.]

It's strange. Even in a place like this, so different from Auldrant, the stars feel the same... I wonder if that's the case for many of the people here.

I met someone who described the sky in his world as like broken glass... I suppose it made me appreciate the sky more, hearing what he said. [Especially when she remembers the Qliphoth, and the miasma preventing sunlight from filtering through to Auldrant.]

[He's silent for a few moments.]

I know of at least two people here from a world where humans can't live on the surface. Living underground, unable to see the sky...

...it's easy to take something for granted when you become so used to seeing it everyday.

[He's not talking about the sky anymore.]

It really is... [Like when Ion disappeared, for her sake. She hadn't expected him to do that for her. And back home, when Luke nearly disappeared... she swore she would never take anything for granted again, but now with Anise gone...

She'd done it again.]

Perhaps it means we achieved such a level of happiness, that we can't comprehend it ending. So when it does...

[Action] soreplaceable February 14 2011, 08:50:26 UTC

When it does, we're unprepared for it. [His eyes look to the ground.]

...you know, for all the bad things that happen in Luceti, it would be a lie to say I'm not happy here. Not... just because I'm alive, either. I've had to chance to do things I'd never have been able to do had I not been brought here.

[There's a small, thoughtful smile on his face.] To have even another moment by her side was blessing enough, but these past few months... perhaps it's too selfish to wish it could have gone on indefinitely.
