2nd Sending [Audio/Commentlog]

[Much has been happening in the past week or so, and a good portion was not good. Some creature ransacked the Keep during the night and attacked several people that she knows and one that she shares her life with. After assuring that Kevas was bandaged and on his feet (protests be damned), she had taken to heart the matter of a certain missing raptor.

Shaka was nowhere to be found and Talia was beginning to think that the creature would not be seen again.

And then there was the matter of Sollux and poor Isabella, also victims of the recent attacks .. Talia was concerned about the young bard and troll (whether he wanted that concern or not).

Having not see Coen in a few days, Talia goes with the way she knows best to find him and the others.]

Coen .. if I might have a moment of your time when you are able?

[Yes, Coen. Accept it now, sweet cakes, cause it ain't gonna change anytime soon. :D]

Kevas, I've seen nothing of Shaka these past few days, whether inside or outside of the stables. I will inform you if this changes, or I learn anything ..

Sollux and Isabella ..

[Here there is a brief pause, her concern evident in her tone.]

I pray that you are both feeling better .. 'Bella .. when you feel up to it, and in your own good time, I have located the Bower and a most suitable harp .. I would love to play for you if you are still interested.

[Again Kevas goes silent. He's long since given up on ever seeing his little girl. She died a long time ago and killing her form on the boat months ago cemented that for him. Shaka was his connection to her again. Now that she's gone it's almost like losing her again. Maybe it's not as painful this time but dammit it still hurts. For now he'll just sit in front of his makeshift graveyard and remember.]

Maybe, but my luck nevah been dat good.

Alright. Be careful...I love joo.

[He's not sure why he says it. It just feels like something that he needs to say.]

[The silence is almost worse than the knowing. Talia could never forget the raw grief and pain the troll had gone through upon losing his daughter. She would never presume to think that pain ever gone entirely, and this incident has only brought the matter to heart and mind again.

Her voice is soft and comforting as she responds.]

Always with the utmost of care, beloved .. I love you, too.

[She'll never not return that sentiment .. even if he's only told her a moment earlier. She threads love into the bond in the most gentle of caresses.]

[He readily accepts it. Kevas won't make the same mistake with her as he did with so many others. Willow, Monoxide, his sisters, he loves them all so dearly even if they are lost to him, but did he ever tell them that?]

Call me if joo be needin' me. Ain't be doin' much. Just havin' a drink wid some old friends.

[It wasn't too long ago that Kevas drank to forget. Now he strives to remember every last memory of them he can. He's the only thing keeping them all alive in some form. If he forgets, then they really will be lost forever.]
