I don't really like doing that announcement thing, but since I'm her roommate... Snow White's gone home! Which is good, that means she's finally back with James, who's her total love at first sight wonderful husband and she has a daughter that maybe she'll get to see now so I'm happy for her. Right, and Al left too, but that was last month. Uh... a few others, but I don't really know the full list.

It makes me curious about something else, though. What do you guys do to show you remember and care about people who you'll probably never see again in this lifetime?

I'm a long-lived man, Collette. It's not easy for me to pare down my memories that way. I suppose I remember most fondly the ordinary things. Eating together at a long table. Fighting over the last apple or slice of bread. Training, every day, right at dawn. That sort of thing.

His name was Faltora.

Still had an answer for me, Kolts.

Faltora. I like that name. He sounds like he was a pretty cool guy!

[deadelfwalking]

I suppose he was 'cool'. I loved him, in any case. [There's a brief pause, as though he's about to leave it there, but then--]

Collette, why did you ask this question? Is it because of the people you mentioned? Or someone else?

[whatsupcroc]

Can I cheat and answer both to that?

[deadelfwalking]

You can, but then I'd ask who 'someone else' might be.

[whatsupcroc]

All right. Then I'm answering! Both.
