[Amy's face is stained with tears. She's been sobbing for a while and is making no effort to hide it. She has tissue in hand and looks at her datapad angrily.]

Whoever you are, I hope you're happy with yourselves. You took my boys and I won't let you get away with it. Mark my words. I will get them back.

[Private to Anakin]When can we start

...I think I felt it. [He looks a little shaken. Luke likes Rory.] Are you - are you gonna be all right?

[wrongwayidiot]

[She's resolute, if not a bit hollow.]

Gimme a bit and I'll be right as rain.

[She tries a smile, but fails miserably. And spoken with so much more bravado than she feels. But she wants to put a brave front on for Luke.]

[sand_wormie]

As... rain? [Not an idiom he understands; he takes it to mean "I'll be ecstatic", which is kind of worrying.] You don't have to... never mind.

[He's... he's going to end up getting a pie and just knocking and leaving it.]

[For no reason except that his aunt would make different foods when someone was depressed, and he's just had a conversation with a different Earth girl who said she likes pies.]

[wrongwayidiot]

It's something we say on Earth. Means everything will be good again shortly.

[Pie \o/ Luke is too adorable.]

[notyourlight]

We don't need to start right now. If you need time that's okay.

[He's familiar with losing people he's close to, Amy. Your master is a nice... person.]

/not here

[sand_wormie]

[Just this face.]

[wrongwayidiot]

But I want to. I have to.

[Bury the pain. Honor Rory. Do something useful.]

[notyourlight]

What you need to do is sort out how you feel. I can't have you upsetting yourself even more.

[supercilious]

[ awkward. ]

That's... very brave of you. Are you well? Er, aside from the crying.

[wrongwayidiot]

If I don't do it, who else will?

I'm fine, really. A few tears and I'm all better. [Haaaaandwave.]

[supercilious]

No tears would be better, my lady.

[wrongwayidiot]

I think they're unavoidable at this point. I just lost my husband and my best friend. It's going to be a bit before everything sorts itself out.

[She looks at him oddly.]

Are you a knight or something?

[packing_again]

Shall I come over?

[wrongwayidiot]

Give me a bit on my own. I'll send word when I'm ready, okay?

[OOC: I totally want them to meet up in time for the draft to be announced and they can discuss both the things, if that's fine with you.]

[packing_again]

[Yes, there were reasons why she asked, instead of showing up.] Of course. [Quietly. Because it's something that.. might help. A little.] From what I've been able to find, they are all right. Just not here.

ooc: Sounds good to me! You can action spam in River's post, or... we can set up a log, etc. <3

[wrongwayidiot]

Thanks, River. [You're all I've got left now. So don't you be leaving me either.]

[only_mostlydead]

I'm sorry, Amy.

[wrongwayidiot]

Thanks, Shepard. I...never thought I'd lose them both.

[only_mostlydead]

If there's anything I can do...

[wrongwayidiot]

Do people that go missing usually reappear? [Hopeful, hopeful...]
