Open, but resolving

[sable_cloak]

The issue concerning Reldon has been given over to capable hands. The official in question is incarcerated, and his followers are being watched by the authorities. I will be monitoring the progress of the hearing.

The situation is resolving, but still open until all parties involved are brought to justice for their treason. Marquette has been instrumental in finishing the case and acting appropriately.

It will be good to have Reldon back in full service. She may be useful soon.

She must have taken my advice and started wearing red.

[sable-cloak.livejournal.com]

That would explain the appearance of the ribbon.

[evillurks.livejournal.com]

...I was joking...

[sable-cloak.livejournal.com]

...

Vincent noticed her wearing it during his most recent watch, when she returned home from your world. He thought it might be a signal.

[evillurks.livejournal.com]

Well. I probably shouldn't discredit it.

[sable-cloak.livejournal.com]

The timing of its appearance is notable, at least.

[evillurks.livejournal.com]

Hm. I owe a lot to luck.

[sable-cloak.livejournal.com]

We both do.

[evillurks.livejournal.com]

I am frankly astonished to still be here.

[sable-cloak.livejournal.com]

When Myra told me what year it was, so was I.

[evillurks.livejournal.com]

...

Mm. Landmark year coming up, this January.

[sable-cloak.livejournal.com]

Indeed....

It's one thing to accept the gift and all it entails, but another to face the results.

I don't know what I would have thought at your age, knowing what I know now.

I'm still here, and I'm still working. I intend to until the job kills me. I tried retirement once, briefly, but it was a mistake.

The Masters would most likely be pleased to hear that I am thinking back on what was given to me. There's plenty to digest, particularly having had the opportunity to meet face-to-face.

You've mentioned the retirement, and because of that, I'm entertaining the idea of visiting Tibet again. Considering the changes being made, I may or may not make it to an age where I might take advantage of being able to return.

[evillurks.livejournal.com]

I'd like to think so, and I'm glad that wasn't an entirely horrifying experience for you.

That... would be a very wise idea. I wish that I could. I miss it. It's terrible, what happened, and I still feel guilty that I couldn't do more to avert it.

[sable-cloak.livejournal.com]

I was expecting worse.

Past mistakes are regrettable, but you almost sound like you're dwelling.

[evillurks.livejournal.com]

Hm.

... I may be. It's a bad habit. Nostalgia is a poison.

[sable-cloak.livejournal.com]

As long as you are mindful of it.

[evillurks.livejournal.com]

Trying to be. It's probably a symptom of age in the mind. You don't need to hear any more about it.

[sable-cloak.livejournal.com]

...

I'll let you know when Reldon is available again.

[evillurks.livejournal.com]

Thank you, although it's always a good thing if I don't need her.

[sable-cloak.livejournal.com]

I agree.
