117th Devotion: Reliving Old Feelings

[The video feed clicks on,  but whether by Solomon's own hand or by itself is unclear. His body slouches in a comfortable chair in his penthouse apartment and he holds a wineglass of some unknown red liquid with a supply of bottles at hand.

He sighs unhappily and reluctantly addresses anyone who might be listening.]

How empty this place feels without her presence...

I just don't understand. What is it that keeps me here when others come and go so often? I don't suppose anyone can venture a guess... I really would like to know.

... don't you know?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

No. Due to the 'trip', my Network connection was spotty at best and the Hall excluded from the City 'caravan'.

She's gone.

[Doesn't need three guesses as to who.]

During travel, may have passed close to her world and she got pulled back into it. [The last part doubles as both a believable explanation and lie to spare Solomon's feelings. More than likely Marishka willingly slipped away - she did long for her Master and sisters.]

Perhaps... but does the 'how' really matter?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Wallowing in sorrow doesn't suit you.

I believe a creature as beautiful as Marishka deserves a little bit of sorrow, wouldn't you agree? The City is diminished by her loss...

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

True....

I'll take a tourist and use them as a toast to her.

It was a pleasure to hunt with her. And what better way to honor the memories?

Private

True...... but what will I do now?

What do I do, Luke?

You go on.

Mourning a loss once again, Doctor?

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

This is beginning to be a trend, isn't it?

[jiyuna_togabito]

A trend only you can break. It's never worth having such a thing in the end. Remember that well.
