Morning, February 21

Naraht watches with a heavy heart as his friend vanishes and whispers his people's benediction for the dead.

"Farewell, Barry," he says. "You will be missed. Oh, Mother help us! How you will be missed."

[ooc: Do you mind if Naraht starts an impromptu wake or do you and Sara-mun already have plans for that?]

[silverageflash]

[ooc: that would be marvelous. Thanks.]

All farewells had been said. Remarks, comments were all in the past. There was nothing further but one last goodbye. So he watched silently as Barry was taken home.

O why should the spirit of mortal be proud!
Like a fast flitting meteor, a fast flying cloud,
A flash of the lightning, a break of the wave --
He passes from life to his rest in the grave.
-William Knox

Sara had smiled while he had spoken to his friends, held him as tightly as she dared when they kissed.

Let him remember me smiling.

But when he is gone, she slowly walks to where his costume lay on the ground.

Picking it up, clutching it to her chest.

And collapses.

Gil wraps his arms around her, kneeling on the ground next to her.

He says nothing, knowing there can be no comfort for this.

Elrond stands just behind them, lending what strength and support he can, his heart going out to this young woman he has tekn into his life, his syes watching her as he too adds his spirit-salute to a great man who has Moved On.

Catherine's there, just hanging onto Sara, for all she's worth.

Billy watches from the back of the group, eyes running tears. And as the man he trusted vanishes, he turns, and slowly, slowly, walks away from everyone.
