[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.]

I think time is th' only thing I have goin' for me here.

[Merida realises it's only been a few days. She can't expect to get over it so quickly. The worst part was she'd made him promise not to leave. The question makes her shake her head.]

I'll be fine. There's plenty of crows around for me to do some target practice.

[Steve's probably guilty of that too, and guilty of making that promise.]

You know, Sam left behind his cookie recipes. How do you feel about oatmeal raisin?

[She manages a small laugh.]

If those are th' ones he tried to teach me to cook, I like them better when I don't have to.

[there's a nice sound, even if he knows the sadness is still very much there.]

I can't promise that mine will be as good as his, I doubt anyone's could be.

[The sadness is definitely still there, her chest aching at the laugh she just gave as she wrings her fingers around a depowered shard.]

Anything's better than th' monstrosities I made, believe me. Even th' gulls wouldn't take them.

We'll try 'em out, and if they're any good I'll work on extra for the kids next time.

I think I'd like that.
