95 [video]

[He seemed more agitated than even his usual video-post nerves.]

I see that Captain Harkness has made his announcement. I will confirm that I am going with him for a while. I will be back, although I don't know how long I'll be gone. I've made arrangements for Madame Owens to take charge of the gardens. She'll probably be better at it than I would

Armand.

Thanks for letting Jack tell me.

Private.

[young_idealist]

I thought it was best. I was thinking most especially of you and the Doctors. I have to admit I was terrified when he first told me, but as you see, we've come to an agreement. I hope it will be good for both of us, in the end.

There's a little time left today, if you want me to come see you. Up to you, of course. You'll be here when I get back won't you?

Private.

[thegooddrjones]

Good, I'm glad you two worked it out.

You'd better come see me, Armand, I'd be cross with ya if ya didn't.

And I will be, of course.

Private.

[young_idealist]

When is good?

[a_bit_put_upon]

You were right in your decision. The choice, and the explanation, are his to make, and your involvement is yours.

I wish you both well.

[young_idealist]

Thank you. That means a great deal to me.

I wanted to prepare certain things so I would not be neglecting my responsibilities, but this had to wait until he was ready.

Do you have any advice? For me this is going to be time travel.

[private] (dear LJ, kindly suck eggs.)

[a_bit_put_upon]

I wouldn't know, unfortunately. I could tell you all you need to know about TARDIS travel, but that's quite different from the sort of device the Captain uses.

[private] (I think Frank eats cans, not eggs *winks*)

[young_idealist]

I don't mean the method. I mean getting used to a time that isn't my own. I think once the Admiral sends us to Earth, we aren't time traveling again, but tis a long way between the 18th and 21st centuries.

[empirical_data]

I wish you well. [Despite the fact he's a little afraid, now, he will say that.]

[young_idealist]

Thank you.

I hope we can talk more when I get back, whenever that is.

Take care of yourself until then. It can be rough living here.

[preachyrose]

Your choice in temporary garden replacement is wise.

Safe travels.

[young_idealist]

Thank you. I'm sure she'll make sure you'll all safe and not working too hard.

You've been a big help there when you've been well and able to work. I'm grateful for that.

[preachyrose]

The garden is the only place worth having here. I aim to do my best in maintaining it.

[young_idealist]

I wish it were possible for it to be a bit more contributory to everyone's well-being, but it simply isn't large enough to provide a significant amount of food.

*Mano scrubbed at his face with the back of his left gauntlet, trying to wipe away his tears. He knew Armand was deserving of happiness... deserving of love. But Mano just felt discarded. Again.*

At least you have the chance to find someone?

I mean... Just -- just go, go with him.

[private - voice]

[young_idealist]

I've done badly by you. I'm sorry.

Even if I'm not your warden... we can still talk when I return. I'm still friendly with Loki.

Farewell, Mano. You deserve better than this.

Do I?
