No. I do not think that.

I lead the people as she would have wanted. I carried on her legacy - of that, I have no regrets.

Re: Yujing Terrance

[inspiteful]

It sounds like she would be proud of you.

...This is probably presumptuous of me, but I think she wouldn't be happy to see herself in your place, if it meant invalidating what you actually did. Even if you believe she deserved the title more.

Re: Yujing Terrance

[leaveofabsence]

If she were still alive, I would willingly bear that burden.

But I appreciate the sentiment.

Re: Yujing Terrance

[inspiteful]

Well, I try. But...

...She isn't. Yet you still bore that burden for thousands of years.

Re: Yujing Terrance

What would you have done in my place, Skylark? Had you not been able to prevent the passing of someone so close to you.

Re: Yujing Terrance

[inspiteful]

Unfortunately, I can answer that.

[ And the way he smiles, even though it's like he's trying to say this plainly, is bitter. ]

Stay alive and keep living. The sun will continue to rise and set, the tide will continue to ebb and flow. The world won't stop for you and your grief.

...That is, unfortunately, how it seems to go.

. . .

Like I said. Wise beyond your years.

Perhaps we should get tea when this is all over.

Re: Yujing Terrance

[inspiteful]

I'd be happy to. You're interesting to talk to.

Re: Yujing Terrance

[ Wraps a tail around Skylark's leg ]

You're also quite the interesting conversation partner.

Re: Yujing Terrance

[inspiteful]

Hehe, thanks.

...I'm guessing the erosion will be gone, soon?

Re: Yujing Terrance

[leaveofabsence]

Yes, I do believe Pentium is taking care of the Pavilion in particular.

Re: Yujing Terrance

[inspiteful]

Mmm, then I'll see you later, alright?

Re: Yujing Terrance

[leaveofabsence]

[ A rumbling laugh ]

Of course you will.

Good luck, Skylark.
