[Video]

[It takes a moment for Meiling to realize that the video was on but she doesn't look like she's all there right now. Both the video and someone going missing just hit her hard and she looks quite lost.]

What...What was...

I don't understand why.....Never mind. I'll just go to think.

[She then shakes her head and turns it off. She's going to stick around the terminal for a bit and then take off to the Graveyard floor to sit quietly]

[Video - a few hours late]

*Enoch had spent quite a bit of time dazed and worried. What if he ruined everything? What if he was responsible for ending an innocent man's life?

Eventually, he sat down to look at the responses to the transmission.*

Did you have their rotation wrong, as well?

*He doesn't think very hard before he responds. He just wants to talk.*

[colorfulbrilliance]

[It takes a while because, She did not want to leave the gravestones. But she would be back later on. She responds back, still looking lost but more depressed then anything]

I never knew the rotation...Have not been here that long

[warriorscribe]

*Enoch doesn't think of actually giving her the rotation he'd thought was true. The look on her face is enough to completely derail that.*

...Are you all right?

*It was lucky that she happened to catch him at a spot where he was near a terminal.*

[colorfulbrilliance]

[She actually looks about ready to lie about it but then thinks better of it.]

Not really...But when is anyone alright here? Except those who are gone we hope.

[warriorscribe]

*Enoch lets out a soft little sigh at that. He can't lie and say those who are gone aren't all right. They're on their ruined worlds, completely and utterly alone... But he doesn't want to cause her pain. So he decides not to bring it up at all.*

You...lost someone here, I take it?

[colorfulbrilliance]

Yes...Someone who I promised to protect with my life. Here and hundreds of years ago.

[She's used to pain..but this and not knowing what was to come next just has her floored.]

Some of us are still here but..

[warriorscribe]

...I know.

*A promise made that was meant to be forever. He knows it too well.*

It's...difficult, when nothing is stable.

[colorfulbrilliance]

[A simple nod. Meiling really isn't one for words right now. She'd rather be sitting at the grave]

I won't let it happen again...I...I can't.

[She pauses for a moment]

I'm guessing that this is a common occurrence for others?

[warriorscribe]

To lose people? Yes. But losing someone you were never meant to lose...not so much.

[colorfulbrilliance]

I figured as such...And I'm sure it never gets any easier.

[warriorscribe]

No... I, for one, haven't missed the two I've lost any less...

*He sighs.* I'm sorry you've had to endure the same. Nobody should.
