I'll be in the pub if anyone needs me.

Armand...?

[young_idealist]

Yes?

[strangehstorian]

Are you...?

[Private]

You don't seem alright.

[no filter for his response]

[young_idealist]

I'm drinking, madame. That is never "alright," as you say.

Private

[strangehstorian]

What happened?

Private

[young_idealist]

Loki's gone.

Private

[strangehstorian]

Oh, no. Armand, I'm so sorry.

Private

[young_idealist]

I shouldn't be upset. It's good for him. He's graduated, and sometimes it's just time. He's a god, restless and all that.

It's just I'll miss him, and Freya.

Private

[strangehstorian]

Sometimes things must end. It is alright to be upset. If you were ever happy with him in the past, though, you will always have that with you.

Private

I keep trying to tell myself... at least he was able to say good-bye. And I know he's out exploring, getting into mischief... it's what Loki does.

I'll miss him though. Sometimes it feels as if no one else on this ship cares.

Private

[strangehstorian]

I care...

I'm sorry. Truly. Perhaps he will return to visit you.

Private

[young_idealist]

Thank you for that.

I feel as if the Admiral is simply taking people away from me. I know it isn't true, but the more people leave or simply disappear, the less I like it here.

Private

[strangehstorian]

It is extremely trying here. I admit I wouldn't stay if I didn't need my deal.

Private

[young_idealist]

I have had my first deal. I only wished for--

It doesn't matter anymore.

Private

[strangehstorian]

I am sorry, Armand.
