[Out near the start of Barrier effect, there's a lone musketeer getting ready to shoulder his pack and his musket.

He's already gone and left a few notes around Camp.]

Well... It was nice while it lasted.

[there is a girl running up, with only half her hair pinned up like she dropped everything she was doing and ran]

--Mullin? Mullin!

[tinmedalsoldier]

... you came. That's all that matters, and I don't think I'd have it any other way.

[pieta_au_lait]

... that's alright, then.

[tinmedalsoldier]

[Trying to lighten the mood.]

You... You be careful from here on, okay? I know you have magic powers and everything, but now I won't be around to look after you...

[pieta_au_lait]

[s-smiles]

I'll be okay. I promise.

[tinmedalsoldier]

Good. That's all I needed to hear.

[pieta_au_lait]

[oh I hate lying to you but it'll have to do for now. touches his shoulder]

Take care, Mullin.

[tinmedalsoldier]

[Well, given how much he fibbed in his letter when asking her not to worry... Reaches up for her hand and gives it a momentary squeeze.]

That's my plan. I... I'll see you when I see you, Robin. Till then, good luck.

[pieta_au_lait]

[slowly lets go]

Yes. You too.

[tinmedalsoldier]

[Reluctantly does the same... And then shoulders his gear.]

Thanks again--for everything. I... I love you, my friend.

[pieta_au_lait]

Mullin...

We'll meet again, someday. I promise.

[tinmedalsoldier]

[This is finally a smile he doesn't have to force.]

I look forward to it.

Goodbye!

[pieta_au_lait]

Goodbye.

[tinmedalsoldier]

[Gives her a last wave, then turns and goes.]

((♥~ Thanks for everything!))

[pieta_au_lait]

[waves, watches him go, and wipes the corners of her eyes when he's finally gone.]

((♥♥))
