Lambda's gone.

...I'd heard of it happening before, but this is the first time it's personally happened to me... What... [There's a hint of hesitation and sadness in his voice.] ...What exactly happens to someone who's sent away from here?

He of all people deserves it.

[Asbel nods. If there was one thing he could certainly agree with, it was that. Lambda definitely deserved to finally receive some happiness in his life.]

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

Lambda... surely deserves to be happy...

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

... Yeah, he does. I'm sure he'll find happiness. [Somehow.]

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

... I'm sorry, Asbel, but I'm a little tired right now. Would you mind letting me get some rest?

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

...Of course, Richard. Get all the rest you need. [He turns to face the doorway now.]

Just call if you need anything.

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

I will... thank you, Asbel.

[And he manages a little smile at him before settling back down on the pillows and pulling the covers up.]

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

Mmmh... [He heads out the door, making sure the light is off and the door is closed behind him.

Don't worry, Richard. He'll watch you over you always.]

[As much as Richard appreciates that sentiment - and he does, truly he does - there are still some things he can't let Asbel see. He doesn't want to make his friend worry about him the way he knows Asbel does. Asbel has enough to deal with now; why make it worse? Richard isn't that selfish.

Or at least, that's how he views things.]
