[ it's so, so hard to witness this and know there's little to do to help. even closure, even answers, won't necessarily do anything to save that sorrow, especially for someone as empathetic as meteion. his fingers tighten a little when hers does, his grip a little stronger, and as meteion trembles, he pulls the edge of his cloak up and around her, like a blanket.
good memories, huh.
vax makes a soft noise of agreement as meteion talks, and shifts a little to rest his chin on her head, noting those graying wings but saying nothing of it. ]
...I talked to him about this a little, last week. We've got something in common, me and Bu. [ as he shifts a little, he rocks her gently. ] He said...as long as someone remembers you, then you still exist, even when you're gone. I liked that: meant a lot to me, too.
So, it's gonna be up to all of us to remember him. Think you can do that?
[ she buries against him, blanketed by that coat, wings folding closer to herself as she feels the weight atop her head. but it is not heavy. it is comforting, it is warm. it's reassuring. a reminder someone is here.
a steady heartbeat that tells her they're alive. ]
..He told me too. At the time, I assured him, I would always remember him. Because he was here, he was real, he was warm and he existed. [ he was so very, very real. ]
..I can. I will. Even when [ if, her emotions supply ] I return back to Elpis... I'll tell them about him too. I'll keep his memory.
