(optional) NOTES

[The sun doesn't so much as rise as flick on with the sudden, glaring brightness of noon. Whatever time keeping device you have on you says its about 8:14am when this happens.

The power's back, but the time on your timekeeping device never really make sense with the position of the sun as it moves across the sky.]

I mean, it's true. And there's no way for me to know how many of those immediately got what they would have wanted most.

[puffs out his cheeks, aware of how that just sounded]

:Immediately? If we're talking about deals Tylendel would have made-- there were years of difficult living in between. And the Vanyel who Stefen returned to is not the one that 'Lendel might have grown older with. That Vanyel will never exist again.

You, who fell in love with a Vanyel different from the one I know, understand what I'm saying better than most.:

Oh, I just... meant that in terms of how fast it must have happened for me to be born. Not... the rest of it.

I'm alright, I'm not even that upset, I just... It's just all whirling around.

:Time may not mean the same thing after death. It's hard to say.

Yes, I imagine it is.: [a tiny mental laugh, sympathetic]

:I don't think it's wrong to think about it, but. . . I don't think that it's something you need to worry about, day to day, either. . . as it settles.:

I'll probably worry about it a lot less when it's not right after... [right after a bunch of people cried on me/said things accidentally alarmist/MY STOMACH IS LITERALLY FULL OF FOOD SOMEONE ELSE ATE???] ...right after.

:That's certainly sensible, dearheart.:

[she rubs her nose on his shirt one last time :X]

:Shall we search for distractions? I have missed you -- and not just for having serious conversations.:

[leans in against her face, giving her neck a brisk rub]

I've missed you too, I want to say, though ... you know. It just feels like yesterday.

:One of us missing the other is enough, surely! And now you're home with us again.:

Here I am.
