[For once, Koltira isn't using the video function. Instead, there's just his voice, echoing and soft and toneless.]

Ashraf Salib has returned home.

[There's a stretch of silence. He isn't the only one in recent memory--the boy he met, Jack Frost, and Ashraf's friend, the monk--they're gone, too. Koltira hadn't known them nearly as long or as well as Ashraf, but he hadn't missed their disappearances, either.

Still, finding Ashraf gone was a punch to the gut. Despite their rocky first meeting, Ashraf eventually became one of the few people to fully and unconditionally accept Koltira for who--and what--he was. The priest's devotion to his beliefs, his essential goodness, his willingness to learn, his warmth ... these traits were uniquely his own, of course, but they also reminded Koltira of someone else he knew and cared for. Liadrin. A woman just as perfect in her faith as Ashraf, and just as determined to see the good rather than the bad.

She was gone from him, too, though, and had been for a long time.]


I suppose I should be happy for him.

[Another period of silence, and then the feed ends.]

[There's a pause, but his voice is quiet when he speaks. Koltira's words mean much, and he's not bothered by the tone. He's long since grown used to it.]

Something I will never forget.

[A pause. Koltira do you need a hug]

My home is always open to you.
obliterating: (I just want to tell you off)

[come on koltira let's hug and talk about our feelings.]

I'll be by soon enough. Until then, suffer well, brother.
