It was late in the evening as he finished up things elsewhere he decided to pay an old friend a visit. Crossing the various stones accompanied by Delliah a large white cat from the frigid mountains of Haiul. He carried at the side some aged brandy and a single stem full of bluebells. He knelt before the stone he came to visit.

~Lurie Castillo Gordon~ was written upon the sone. He wiped it a bit with his hands softly brushing off residue from the letters. Placing the bluebells gently ontop of the head of the stone.

"The soil keeps you well my friend, it seems...I". Cinder trailed of thinking of something else, but ignored it and what he was about to say. He opened up the bottle and wavered it around as if his friend could find the aroma. "Your favorite, Brandy from Lemoux Smute. We certainly engaged in serious times of laughter back then". The elf sparkled for a moment having a phrase to light this moment by. "A taste from a memorable past, those times shared, to pour a drink and recall those moments which will always last".

He pursed it to his lips and took a sip draping it across one knee in a rest upon his arms.

"I to come to a dilema in my life as you have once had. I know I could have vistied you sooner or not for adivice just to remember you..". He shook his head and took another sip and poured some onto the soil. "I fear I am lost once again...back then it was easier to deal with things now I am older and have less reasons to hold onto my future, despite I have found love. I fear love....I doubt there is anything else I do fear anymore". He nodded. "We had some times you and I, good an bad. How much money do I owe you know" Yes...I still havent forgotten that wager we made, that day". He smiled a bit looking to Delliah a second. She knew what Cinder was tlaking of and she grinned from whisker to whisker.

"One day soon perhaps I can pay you that bet, I pray there is no intrest?" He wiped a few tears and patted the large cats head. Looking back to the stone between sips from the bottle, he felt good to have brought himself here.

"Delliah has gotten huge, of course she has always been the best at eating between me and Kristae, I hope you two are looking out for each other wherever that may be?.

Delliah smiled some at Cinder and rested her head on the stone for a moment before backing up. The elf stood keeping the bottle of brandy beside the gravestone. He smiled feeling he recieved the answers he was looking for. He walked back whence he came with the feline company in tow as she too smiled. Perhaps the madness and feeling of being lost they both were feeling would soon pass. The past mends the wounds of the future it seems.

It had been a few years but nothing was distant in his memory. Cinder as always when lost went to the one person who showed him the ropes of this world. He sat beside her grave, mournful forever. He brushed the snow from the stone plate and smiled touching his lips with his only hand and touched the stone. He bowed his head. "I have brandy...but the season has passed for bluebells, I'm sorry". He didn't want to talk to anyone alive they wouldn't understand, not even Rewa he wasn't even sure if they'd hear him. "i'll come back when they bloom". The strange man was mindful of his manners, he opened the bottle and poured some on her grave first before pursing his lips to the bottle.

"Do they know I'm no longer with them Lurie" No, don't try to read my mind, don't try to console me. Your house still stands did you know" I think Kayla visits as often as she can, you'd be proud of your daughter. I am, she's a cheerful girl.

If I am alive I suppose I wouldn't be here....I'm a cast away you know. I'm in some darkness, I'll try to imagine the way Kristae felt, her soft skin agaisnt mine the way her lips felt in the rain. Your smile, you always brightned up a room. Kayla asking me for help with her homework, heh an A plus? The good things prove to me how much it hurts being where I'm at".

He took another drink from the bottle and left the rest beside her grave and he vanished.
