[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.]

No, they don't.

( if they did anything at all, it only made things worse. bad memories had corroded a wonderful thing, even if it had fallen apart in the end. she wishes she could have let go sooner, that she could have had perspective that she'd never managed until it was too late.

the best she can try and help others from the same fate.

Emma's smile is sad but hopeful. )

Yeah. It can get better. Lean on the people you still have. It helps.

( hopefully she has those connections. Emma had never been so lucky. )
