[ Though the intended party is gone, gone, gone, D posts this in tribute to him. ]

"JOHNNY JEWEL "WINDSWEPT"" (Watch on YouTube)

[ Maybe, wherever he is, the radio signal of this tune will reach Gren's ears and he'll remember, for a fleeting moment, about D. ]

[Rip's quiet as she notices the post on the network and gives it a listen. Once the song finishes though..]

Zhat vas beautiful und sad at zhe same time.

Did zomething happen?

I miss him too.

[ Nothing he hadn't expected. ]

Something is always happening.

Faye.

[ He knew who she was, Gren had spoken to him about her. Even seeing her name flash across his mobile was enough to make his heart lunge up into his throat. The association and the knowledge she had over himself--

of their shared loss, seemed nearly too much for D. These wallowing emotions were not something he wished for; yet he asked for it in a world of no certainty, hadn't he? ]

[.....]

I zee... Iz zhis something zhat requires drinks? Or a long valk und talking.

If I drown, will I too leave this world?

He had a second chance here. At life.

And in that chance you made him happy.

So thank you.

*Faye knew D's relationship with Gren was very different from her own, and she knew that he could offer Gren far more than she ever could. She is only glad that Gren got to experience that kindness and affection, at least this once*

No.

Death iz alvays met vith revival und a loss in vorlds like zhis.

[She went quiet for a moment.]

Vhere are you?

[Rip might already be on the move. Either he could tell her where he was or she'd hunt him down.]

[ He stared at the text for some time before he set his phone down and walked away from it. Only to come back to it with a sinking feeling in his gut at the words across the screen.

If Gren left this world happy, and D had something to do with that, then that was good enough. It should be good enough.

But it's not. Because he's feeling jaded, cursed, and punished. ]

I'm not meant to be here.

[And she was off to hunt him down. ]

None of us are. But, ve're here anyvay. So ve makes zhe best of it any vay ve can.

That best was a fleeting moment.

[She's quiet for a moment and there's the sound of doors opening and closing along with her feet on the snow.]

He left, didn't he.

[It was a quiet question. If that was the case, Rip knew this pain better than most. Which may have her footsteps speeding up a bit.]

Yes.

I'm sorry D.

[She sighed softly and yes, she's hunting him down by feeling for him much like she could track others who she were familiar with.

It might take her a while to find him, but, she'd do it eventually.]

It always hurts to loose the ones you love and there is no easy way to deal vith it.

I am not familiar with this pain.

[ He can be found in Gren's abandoned apartment. Eventually it would be taken up, surely. But, for now, it's not. ]

[...It surprises her that the search for him takes her to an apartment right next to Augustine's and a few floors down from her own residence. As it was, Rip had been out shopping though, that's definitely forgotten for the moment.]

D?

[She's already easing the door open and peeking in. ]

[ He's sitting on the end of the bed, slouched, with his elbows on his knees and his hands idly turning his mobile over and over in his grasp. The swiftness of her arrival was not any surprise to him. She was likely to smell him here as he her on their separate reasons coming to a shared place of residence. D's reason, however, was gone.. gone... gone. ]

[Admittedly his scent and the feel of his presence ebbing and flowing against her sixth sense did help her to find him. Though what she saw..

Rip quietly entered and closed the door behind her. A few quiet steps later, she was settling on the floor in front of him, legs crossed as she gazed up at him with worried sapphire eyes.

After a few moments she gently reached up to stop him idly turning the mobile over and over in his hands.]

Hey.

[ Ten thousand-plus years have seen him go through various scenarios, he's felt various sensations of pain, but this one.. this was different and he found himself with a disgusting thick weight of hopelessness to that feeling. It enveloped him and turned his already paraffin skin even more apparent for the humanity he lacked.

Yet, perhaps, it was the humanity in which made this so damned difficult. At first he didn't meet her eyes, but when the touch came he couldn't help the obligated slide of his eyes onto her azure stare. ]

[It really didn't matter how long one lived or what pain they've been through. There were somethings that just hurt no matter what. Loosing a lover, especially one that you care deeply about hurt worst of all. It didn't matter on whether they lacked humanity or or not. This was never easy.

Rip knew that pain all to well and wished D didn't have to experience it at all.]

Everything vill be alright. I know it hurts, but..vell, you're handling it better zhan I did zhe first time I lost zomeone in zhese vorlds.

[ He knew it was the obvious question and he hated to be that person who would ask it but since there was no one here other than himself and Rip he spoke up: ]

What's the point to keep finding more? [ Of them, of love, of passion, sex, whatever it was.. why? ]

[She was quiet for a moment as she just held his hands in hers. It was a question she asked herself every time she lost someone close to her. A question she was very familiar with.]

Because vithout zhem, our lives are empty. Vithout zhem, zhere is nothing to fill zhe eternity ve face vith. I vould razher haf loved und lost a thousand times zhan lived a thousand empty years az nozhing but a soldier vandering from battlefield to battlefield.

[ That was a perfect description of what he was. A soldier moving from one battlefield to the next. From town to town, family to family, lives to lives.. lives that were but a blink of his eye in comparison to his own--

so why did he even bother saving humans? In one hand he knew the answer, strong and full of vindication, he knew why. To stop the injustice and entitlement of the Nobles. So, am I entitled? He was part Noble, there was no hiding that and though he may be a long time yet making peace with that fact he worked under some guise of vindication that he would some day be free of who he was through eradicating the evils of what they were.

He lost himself here, entitled to the affections of a human. ]

[She was watching him and then gently sighed as she let one hand leave his to gently reach up and brush some of his hair out of his face. Yes, he was beautiful in his own way but, then again.. were so her boys and so was Rip in her own strange way.

Not that any of that mattered right now. What Rip saw was someone she cared about hurting. Someone that was much older than her and a lot more alone than she ever had been. To find something worth caring about and then having it torn away after being alone for so long....]

D, talk to me. I know it hurts. Loosing zhem vill alvays hurt but, zhe moments you had vith him are something to cherish.
