10)) mourning

[andcountry]

Ben has [ pause ] died.

[ A drop of water soaks into the page but is hastily smeared. What drop? You didn't see a drop. ]

There is no body, just [ another pause ] some personal effects.

Where is he?

[andcountry]

[ Is kind of momentarily confused by this question. Ben isn't anywhere - there's no corpse, and even if there were it wouldn't really be him. Now is not necessarily the time to be a literalist, however, so he just sort of guesses at her meaning. ]

On this really cold island. If you look at the map it's the one at the very top.

[Having felt him dissipate into the Force, she's still thinking in terms of Ben existing... albeit in a different form.]

The island with the lighthouse? I will be there shortly.

I'm cool with a QL if you'd like. Don't think they've spoken before.

[andcountry]

Yes. I'll be here.

[Oh. Oh, god.]

Thank you for telling us.
