[PRIVATE :: The Queen]
Excuse me... milady? [ Why are titles always so awkward? Her hesitation is hard to mask, but she tries to stamp it down as best she can because she is not here for answers for herself, but for many. ]
I have a question of you, if I might have a moment of your time.

[ Some time later, Cid addresses the whole of the network. It's not a common occurrence for her, and she sounds flat. She doesn't feel particularly happy or sad or confused about the news she is about to give, but rather... empty. A friend has gone home; not just to any home, but a home world they shared, even if they had not met before coming to this place. "Mixed feelings" does not begin to cover it. ]
I am sorry to bother everyone, but... if anyone is still searching for Melusine and Ember, we need not bother. [ She takes a deep breath and exhales slowly. Brave face time, Cid. ] We must all wish them well on their journey, for they've left Demeleier and hopefully returned home.
Home to Vana'diel, under Altana's watchful gaze. [ She whispers a brief devotion in her native tongue, her tone slightly more upbeat after she finishes. ]
I'm no musician, but I know my brother would sing a song to send her on her way, were he able to. The exact words escape me, but I believe it ended with: "May the winds fill your cape and the sun kiss your cheeks."
[ ...Ye Goddess that was hard to get out, but she has one thing yet left to cover. ] I... will gladly split her current Watch assignments with others, if it would help. Thank you all for your time. [ And then she disconnects. She has to go... chop something. ]
