Sheemie is downstairs, with the kitten on his shoulder.

The call is stronger than it was yesterday, so much stronger, and the song grows louder by the hour.

And he knows.

They go today.

Last chance to say goodbye, folken.

Naraht is coming in for a bit of supper when he spots a familiar face.

Familiar face, but no clue as to the name. Perhaps it is time to rectify that.

He glides over.

"Good evening, sir. I am so glad to find you again now that I can talk and understand language once more."

"I know," Naraht says aloud. "We'll all go there...and trip never as bad as we make it out to be."

Sheemie nods. "No pain, in the clearing."

The fringe brushes Sheemie's hand once more, then Naraht pulls slightly away. "I suppose I had better track down Susan. I should bid her farewell..."

His voice trails off as he considers something. "Would it be presumptious to give you what I would to one of my siblings if they were about to take this journey?"

He won't be taking much in the way of objects, but he doesn't think that's what Naraht means.

"Never in life."

Naraht reaches out once more to Sheemie's mind. A Horta benediction. A thought-form: deceptively simple, timelessly beautiful and as ancient as stone itself. Impossible to translate adequately into audible language, but if you were to try, it would be something like...

The long day is over. Now is the time for resting.
Go now with love. For you are loved by Mother and sibling.
Go now with peace. For all is well and all shall be well.
Go now without fear, knowing that She who created you and sent you forth to share the Universe welcomes you home.
The Mother awaits you.
Farewell.

Sheemie smiles, hearing it.

"Say thankya, sai Naraht."

"My pleasure, sai Sheemie," the Horta says. "And, if you see any of my siblings over there, would you give them my love?"

"It's promised", he says seriously.

Naraht bobs his body and sweeps his fringe in a bow.

"Thank you, Sheemie. May the First Mother hold you tightly."

With that, he glides off in search of Susan.
