What becomes of the temples built in honour of those who've passed?

Re: [EARLY 200]

It's not the temples we have to remember, but the people they made for.

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

[and the gods... sips.]

Yes. Of course.

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

I know what it's like. So I won't forget.

...do you have any parchment left?

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

A little. Why?

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

In the morning, I'll record their names.

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

... Yes. It's a good idea.

[when I am not halfway to drunk]

Someone may be able to carve it into the temple walls, later.

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

Perhaps.

[lapses into silence again.]

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

This is strong.

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

Yes. That's the point.

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

Where did you get this?

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

A Monoceran trader, a few months ago. I felt it was worth having in case of... emergencies.

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

I see. Like this emergency?

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

There are many kinds of emergencies.

[takes another mouthful]

But, yes.

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

I see.

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

[sighs, slumping back in his chair, a warm buzz settled over his emotions.]

I'm... sorry, you were gardening earlier, weren't you.

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

It's fine. I doubt I was going to get much done.

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

Still.

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

Really. I'll finish it tomorrow.

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

Are you feeling all right?

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xistential.insanejournal.com]

... No. But it'll fade. It always does.

Re: [EARLY 200]

[xceptional.insanejournal.com]

[...touches his shoulder.]

I'm sorry.
