[ Kenshin sits at the table, a rather large bowl of sake in his hand, a flat yet somehow forlorn expression drawn across his usually soft features. ]

People come and go. Thus is the cycle of this land and of war. Vatheon is like a war. There are gains and losses, many come at a price, some a larger price than others.

[ he takes a sip of sake from his oversized bowl. ]

It is my unfortunate duty to inform you that Selphie has returned home. Perhaps for the better as she missed those she left behind so dearly.

She... did?

[Rinoa doesn't know whether she has the right or not to be sad. But she is. Even though she'll see Selphie again, once she returns... it doesn't help much with coping with the loss now.]

Thank you for letting us know.

[echigo_wargod]

Indeed. It was a rather quick departure.

[sorcery_fledgling]

At least she's home now. Where things are good, at least from what she tells me.

[echigo_wargod]

Indeed. She will be reunited with her friends, I am certain.

[ashihara]

I see...

I wonder what will be left of the birds she has to take care of.

[echigo_wargod]

I am uncertain at this time. I know not how to care for them, however, I hope someone here does.

[ashihara]

Is there anyone from her world who is familiar with them?

[Because she sure doesn't!]

[echigo_wargod]

I am uncertain. She had not mentioned anyone from her world being here.

[ashihara]

Well, do you know how? She must have said something right?

[echigo_wargod]

Unfortunately no, I have no knowledge of caring for chocobo. It was a project she undertook herself.

[ashihara]

Hm...it seems that we'll have to figure it out for ourselves. [Mumble mumble] Hopefully, they should not be that hard to take care of.f

[kagayakashi]

[ She missed it again. People dear to her leaving, without her saying goodbye. And Selphie was one of her friends - her best friend. This was... ]

[ She didn't get to say goodbye. ]

[ She moans in melancholy. ]

Sel...

voice

[echigo_wargod]

I am sorry to be the bearer of such unfortunate news.

voice

[kagayakashi]

[ She frowns deeply, and she lets out a soft, sad sigh. ]

I'll miss her. Oh, Ken...

voice

[echigo_wargod]

As will I. However her memory will always remain with us.

voice

[kagayakashi]

[ That does little to cheer her up. ]

I know that, but...now, I'll never see her again. What if she doesn't come back? [ Gracia sighs again. She was never good at dealing with these matters. ]

voice

[echigo_wargod]

It is a great possibility she may never return. However, there is a slight possibility she may. We must remain strong for either case and carry on.

[6coined]

So she has left ... [ a moment of silence. ]

It is a shame. She would have loved this scenery.

[echigo_wargod]

Indeed, quite a shame. I am certain she would enjoy the scenery as well.

[6coined]

... What will you do now, my lord?

[echigo_wargod]

Continue forward and pray Bishamonten protect her on her journeys.

[6coined]

I suppose that is all we can do. I wish you best of luck, my lord.

Although I do not think you'll need it much. [ a slight smile. He's trying to cheer you up at least. ]

[echigo_wargod]

Thank you for your kind words, Tiger Cub. It is appreciated.
