[Her voice is a little flatter than usual and she doesn't turn on the video like she normally does.]

Please be careful in the cold. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, but the welcome center does have extra coats and blankets to lend or give if anyone is without.

[Private to Yuri]
Yuri...

Suzaku [Voice falters a little.] is gone.
[End private]

(OOC: Suzaku went home for a canon update. Of course she doesn't know he'll be back soon!)

Are you all right?

voice;

[deadly_legacy]

[There is a pause as she thinks maybe she should have texted instead.] I'm... Just a little tired I think. [Tired of the people she loves leaving.]

Are you enjoying the snow, Iroh?

Private;

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

I'll be right over.

Private;

[deadly_legacy]

[She makes no attempt to tell him not to come out on this cold, cold evening. She really wants to see him as selfish as it is.]

The door is unlocked.

Action;

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

[He arrives soaked and cold but not the least bit concerned as he makes his way inside to where it's warmer, tossing his coat somewhere convenient before making his way around the house looking for her. He stops by her room first.]

Action;

[deadly_legacy]

[She looks up at him from the bed with watery eyes when he arrives at her open door. She reaches out for him.

Her puppy, Tumbles, knows something is wrong and instead of excitedly greeting Yuri, he remains near her side, dutifully.]

Action;

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

[He immediately joins her, pulling her into his arms without question, without invitation, without any hesitation on his part. In some way, he knows how she feels. Perhaps not loss, but he feels his own kind of guilt. He wants his closure, but instead the City's taken someone important from him. Again.]

Action;

[deadly_legacy]

[There may not have been a verbal invitation, but she couldn't be more grateful when he pulls her close. She holds on to his shirt tightly and buries her face against his shoulder.]

I'm so glad you're here. [Don't leave. Please don't ever leave!]

Action;

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

[He just holds her, now, enjoying her presence, doing his best to be strong for her and himself. He rests his head against hers, not saying a word for now.]

Action;

[deadly_legacy]

[Her cheek gets cold against him, but she doesn't pull away. Her eyes water, but she holds back the flood. Why? Why did he leave again?]

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

Not enjoying the snow, Euphie? You sound a little down today.

[deadly_legacy]

Oh... No, I like the snow. It's always nice. [Normally she would have been out building snowmen and inviting people to enjoy the unseasonal weather with her.]

I just hope everyone has the right clothing. Teddy mentioned new arrivals might not have a winter wardrobe yet.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

If it isn’t the snow… then is there something else that is bothering you?

[The fact remained that she didn’t seem her usual energetic self. ]

[deadly_legacy]

It... [She doesn't want to lie, but talking about it means thinking about it and she isn't sure if she can hold it together for that.] It's too soon to really say anything about that.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

I’m sorry. [Since she was obviously upset, he feels the need to apologize for that. ]
If there is anything I can do…

[private]

[deadly_legacy]

You don't need to apologize, really...

It's nice of you to check on me, Eagle. I appreciate it. I'm... I'm just hoping someone returns soon. [With all his memories.]

[private]

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

[Ah, that explained it. Even if Eagle didn’t know exactly who she was talking about it was always painful when some one disappeared from the City. ]

I hope it works out, but while they are away if you need anyone to talk to or just some distraction, please don’t be afraid to ask.

[private]

[deadly_legacy]

Thank you. That means a lot to me that I have such good friends here. [Her voice breaks a little at the end and she falls quiet for while before breathing more softly.]

I'm sorry.

[aettir.livejournal.com]

It's already been two days... does this happen a lot or something?

[deadly_legacy]

[She's actually kind of thankful it's someone she doesn't recognize.]

Something similar happened last year during the summer too. And sometimes it will get warm during the winter. It probably won't last more than a week at most. Maybe less.

[aettir.livejournal.com]

Huh, doesn't sound too bad! ... as long as it doesn't snow the whole week too.

[deadly_legacy]

Sometimes it can be a lot of fun. [Does she ever not feel like having fun right now, but she puts her very most cheerful foot forward.] You can make snowmen in July and have beach parties in January.

[aettir.livejournal.com]

Sure, but not if it keeps going! We're gonna have to start sledding out of our windows.

[deadly_legacy]

Well, I hope that won't happen. There are some people here with abilities that might help if it gets very severe. I know a person who can control water and another who can control fire. Between them I'm sure they could make some paths at least.
