[It's been a few days now, but when Merida flicks the locket on, she looks like an absolute mess. Her hair is disheveled, it looks like she hasn't slept in days, and in spite of how she's feeling, she's only contacted a couple of people. Who knows how many others he knew? There's a couple of wolfhounds on either side of her, and she rubs at her eyes, wiping a the corner.]

Lancer - that is, Cu Chulainn - he left th' Drabwurld this last week.

[Her throat clogs up and she has to clear it before she continues, one of the hounds nuzzling her and licking her cheek before she gently places a hand on his collar.]

I'm goin' to be livin' in Leathann from now on, since th' fortress is gone, but I'll still be comin' an' goin' between there an' th' trainin' grounds. Anybody that had any unresolved business with him, I'll try an' follow through with it.

[There's a pause before she lets her lips quirk into a tired, wry smile.]

I don't suppose anyone knows a cure for heartbreak, huh?

[And the feed ends.]

[There's a small smile.]

Maybe I'll draw his face an' stick it to a punchin' bag. Beat th' stuffin' out of it.

[gordianknots]

And then move onto the defenseless stuffing?

[notyetlegend]

It wouldn't be th' first time stuffin' has deserved it.

[gordianknots]

Nor the last.

[notyetlegend]

You'll pass things on to Lady Rin?

[gordianknots]

I will, although I don't relish doing so.

[notyetlegend]

Thank you. I'm sorry for th' pressure.

[gordianknots]

Don't mention it. If you need someone to talk to, I'm here

[notyetlegend]

I'm glad you're still here, honestly.

[She pauses before she sighs.]

I don't suppose there's a way to bring back Servants, huh?

[gordianknots]

No. There have been attempts and they ended er, badly.

[Rin's attempt to call Archer back had ended with blood everywhere.]

[notyetlegend]

Well that puts that idea out.

[Not that she was actually going to attempt it (since she didn't know the first thing about summoning a Servant) but the thought was there.]

[gordianknots]

Sorry to deter you, but better to avoid the injury.

[notyetlegend]

It's okay, it's probably for th' best.

[gordianknots]

You'd get cool scars, admittedly.
