Dawn at the Ruin

[Vau]

Dangerous place to be, utterdark. *rrrrr* not like it.

Good you keep safe though *rrrrr* happy more than can say to see you well. *rrr* Thank you for look after 'Tier'. *rrr* Sometime it ... difficult with us, but *rrrrr* you make I happy, *rrr* which as know, once thought not possible.

Can't say I like the Utterdark much either, it was like the Lands only worse, at least there you have to wait for the unpleasant creature to get a hold of you, rather than just the whole place sucking all life away.

*Crystal smiles rather wryly*

We do have a rather peculiar relationship yes. But I miss you when you're not around,even if things can be awkward when we are together.

[Vau]

*Vau smiles fleetingly at Crystal then endevours to rise unsteadily to his feet.*

*rrr* Not really weak, just *rrr* head jumbled with thought and memory. *growl* Feel very strange when was Tier *rrr* was simpler but without you was ... *snarl* emptier.

*Vau looks around, eyes blinking in the midday sun.*

Need talk kaalgrisch Straw, kaalgrisch skûtogal Halthane and... *growl* other. Need say sorry.

*Tentatively Vau offers his hand once more to her.*

Shall walk for while? *rrrrr* Remember enjoy walking in sun with you.

*Crystal smiles and stands, taking the offered hand*

I don't think you really need to apologise. Most people will understand that you didn't choose to have your head slammed until it broke.

[Vau]

*With a brief smile, akin to relief, Vau holds her small hand in his as he slowly meanders down the path with her, subconciously heading in the direction of Fibbleweed Farm.*

Know probably not need but *a smile touches his face* is polite?

Not want *growl* head bashed until broken *a troubled look touches his features* but still in Arda with you so "where life: there hope", yes?

[Palthera]

Oh probably very polite yes. Especially since she so kindly came to help, I think she enjoyed it though.

*Crystal nods with a grin*

Oh yes, as long as people are still alive there's hope. Although I tend to operate on the theory that they're not dead until you see the body - just to be sure.

*Crystal smiles slightly*

Not so very lost really, when you got knocked unconscious as Tier you said my name, so I knew Vau was in there somewhere. That, and your reaction to my singing gave me hope too.

*she shrugs*

And I hardly ever go away now, I'm practically settled. *she sighs*

[Vau]

*Vau mutters half to himself*

Using song *growl* like light in dark, to guide lost traveller back to *rrrr* home.

*He squeezes her hand gently, oblivious to where they are heading.*

Did find confuse why you *rrr* accept task from kaalgrisch... kaalgrish... ... Isilwen? You want to wander free, but you take job with *rrrrr* duty and responsibility. Maybe should train *rrrr* replacement?

You say not travel, but go *rrrrr* utterdark and go other world of imperfect copy. Seem travel lot already. *rrrrr* But if resign commission can go anywhere like. *rrrrr* Nippon? Cathay? *rrrrr* Nurun? And if miss I when not with then take I along. *rrr* I no longer Defender for Ithron and there is weak to protect all over world. *rrr* Duty will find I.

*He smiles briefly at her.*

Also help I because I not *rrr* miss you then.

*Crystal pulls a face and then grins*

But Captain sounds so much more dashing than "master", what's a little inconvenience against having a better title attached to my name? Besides, other countries are nice, but there's nowhere quite like Ithron for weird and entertaining excitement.

Maybe in a few years I'll go visit another country for a while, I have a long time in which to see the Plane. And besides, as an adventurer I can see so many weird and wonderful places... I just always come back here is all.

*she smiles gently*

But I promise, wherever I go, if you want to I'd like your company.

[Vau]

*Vau stops walking, touched to the core by her words. After a moment of silence he gives her a rare warm smile of actual happiness.*

I want...

*he growls softly as he recognises the strangeness of wanting something for himself*
...I want keep you company, *rrr* whereever you go, for as long as Seven allow us.

*Actual humour touches his eyes as he takes her pale hand in both of his...*

I promise I not mind where *rrr* or when you want go *rrr* to be with you is enough.

*His eyes sparkle with unshed tears, as he says more seriously*

Is all I ever wanted *rrr*

*Crystal smiles crookedly and her face has flushed pink*

Well, that's alright then. Just so long as everyone gets what they want.

[Vau]

*Wordlessly, and with his growling almost inaudiable, Vau releases her hand to give her a brief hug. He blinks and takes her hand in his once more with a touch of a smile as they head south together.*
