...I'm afraid the primary school is without its headmaster again. To all of Gyatso's students - and friends - I am sorry. I know that he would have wished you all the best...and that he would have been proud of all of you for continuing to persevere in this place.

[There's a long, painful pause, and a long, painful sigh.That means the soup kitchen ( Read more... )

his purpose has been to protect, fffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, the lament of the highbourne, miles to go, all for a sight of somebody, old man is old, gyatso, zombie lost his baby ;o;, fmlfmlfmlfml, gyatso is the waifu, unexpected family, humanity, homemaker meryl

[Amu, who had been fairly quiet as more and more of her friends have been leaving noticed one of her family members' post. She looked down at her communicator and then decided she should get up and look around for Meryl.

Finding him, she quickly made her way to him, hugging him.]

[He was really really hoping to get a hug from one of the kids. He needs it right now - they couldn't replace Gyatso, of course, but he still had them, and that counted for a lot.

Perhaps they aren't especially close, but that doesn't matter now. He puts his arms around her and rests his head on her hair.]

[Her voice is a bit muffled when she speaks but she squeezes just a bit for the sake of reassurance.]

We still family together.

[The squeeze helps a tiny bit. The Engrish is rather endearing as well. The old mage closes his eyes and pets her hair.]

...Yes. Thank you, Amu.

Mr. Gyatso...

[Her voice is small and strained.

In light of Lute's disappearance only a few days ago, she can empathize with Meryl's pain in the worst way... That poor man.]

Would you like to come over, Flonne?

[He noticed the lack of future son-in-law as well. This was not turning out to be a good week for them.]

Huh? Well, I... Um...

[Oh dear. The poor Fallen Angel's torn.

She thought that he might have wanted a moment alone, but--Meryl did extend an invitation for her to come over. It would be rude and a little more lonely for Flonne to turn him down now.]

... Yes. I would be glad to.

[He'll have quite enough time to be alone. The invitation was almost more for him than it was for her, really. After growing used to having company, even one less body made the house feel empty.]

Thank you, Flonne. Should I come to get you?

[Must do something.]

sorry for never tagging back on my last post, I suck super big time appleblossoming March 8 2011, 11:32:07 UTC
[AWKWARD AWKWARD because she doesn't know him well but she feels like she should say something] Um...are you...going to be alright?

its ok I still love you <3 medanmyboy March 8 2011, 21:36:58 UTC
[The old man swallows hard again before responding. He presses his lips together and tries for a pitiful attempt at a smile, but it doesn't even make it into vaguely content look territory.]

Time marches on. It will never wait for me, whether I want it to or not. [So, it doesn't really matter if he's going to be alright.]

<3 I just got distracted with school and stuff, then LJ stopped giving me notifs... appleblossoming March 8 2011, 23:59:50 UTC
Well, I guess so, but...but it would still be better if you were okay. I-I know it's sad, but your friend would want you to be happy, right? Um, that's what I think, anyway...

[She's right. Gyatso would want him to be happy - he was thankful for the time he had been given, and had accepted his fate. But he - he can't do it. The thought of him returning home, only to be killed - massacred along with the rest of his people, an innocent culture destroyed by war - ]

Well, he doesn't always get what he wants. [He might be a little bright-eyed. It's almost funny, in a horrible way.]

[Takato goes to find Meryl. The boy is holding a large folded up piece of cloth.]

[Baby. He was hoping to see Takato - he might be the closest to Meryl now. But what is this cloth...? Zombiedad just looks confused.]

Re: [Action] gallantgoggles March 8 2011, 21:52:32 UTC
[Takato notices the confused look and smiles sadly.]

I made a banner for Gyatso. I'm trying to make them for everyone who went home. So we don't forget.

[Meryl blinks in surprise.] A banner...?

[Children are so touching. Why didn't he have a million kids beforehand, seriously? (And can he keep Takato forever?)]

...may I see it, Takato?

[Yes. Yes, you are, Shaun. Congratulations!]

I'm afraid I wasn't very involved with the school. I would offer to help, but my time is already taken up by the kitchen.

[Meryl would feel bad for you, but he's busy wallowing in his own despair.]

I apologize.
