[raavashing]

[Late in the evening of the 14th day of May, Wan's voice comes over the networks very briefly. It is haggard, quiet, almost dead sounding. It sat at the edge of being numb to everything.]

I'm sorry.

Comments

[digophelia]

Rest, then. Take some of that time to heal your heart. All of you have done a noble thing, Mr. Wan, something that likely this world hasn't seen in a long time.

voice;

[raavashing]

...it's just Wan. Please. No mister.

voice;

[digophelia]

[ She really isn't sure how to act when people ask her to stop using formalities. ]

Of course, I apologize.

voice;

[raavashing]

You don't need to apologize. You did nothing wrong.

[He just wasn't a mister.]

I'm sorry. I'm... I didn't mean to be rude.

voice;

[digophelia]

You're far from rude; if anything, I was always taught that it was immpolite not to call anyone by "mister" or "miss".

voice;

[raavashing]

...you can call me mister.

[It was the way of her people. Wan wasn't going to ask that she not respect the values of her people just because he didn't think of himself as a 'mister'.]

voice;

[digophelia]

Oh, goodness.

[ She sighs. ]

I will not, if you do not like it. I figured to offer an explanation.

voice;

[raavashing]

It's okay. I don't mind if you do.

voice;

[digophelia]

As you wish.

[ Rare of her to do, she will not call him that anymore. ]

But I implore you to rest as much as possible. It will be alright, we will stop this.

voice;

[raavashing]

I'm going to take some time. I think I'll be heading back to the University. Do some reading.

[Do some training with his shard.]

If you're still looking for a place to take the children, you might think about Azure. I know it's close to Caer Scima, but it's not close enough to see it through the forest. And the people there are kind. Zuko sees to their needs well.

[It wasn't neutral. But it was safe.]

voice;

[digophelia]

I will have to think about it.

[ For the children's sake, she's not sure. Perhaps closer to Redgate, maybe further away from it.

All of it is frustrating, having gain a home and be faced with losing it again. ]

Please take care of yourself in the meantime.

voice;

[raavashing]

You, too.

[And with that, Wan closed his locket. He didn't have much energy for further conversation. As much as the distraction of a topic change was welcome, it was one that didn't have many avenues before it turned back to the problem of the Void and the war. Nothing did anymore.]
