[Zhaneel has been witnessing the change of season the same as everyone else, and she's was quite excited to see the blooming flowers. She was equally excited, if not more so, to see the freshly fallen snow blanketing the ground outside of her pod when she woke a day ago

[Lucas is here to help.]

Ain't heard nothin' of him for a while now. Hopin' he got home all right, yeah?

[bondedgryphon]

[She needs it, Lucas, lemme tell ya. Girl is a hot mess of irrational thinking at the moment, negl. She feels silly all around .. Why should she think that she and Warrior had some sort of special bond? They were all just here to take care of Vertiline after all, not to play silly games of hope, right?]

I .. I had rather expected such .. [Oh, look! She's trying to sound all strong and stuff. Isn't she cute?! But her mind is running away with her, a soft tremor shivering through her body as her wings fan and retract again in distress.]

Of course he will be back on his home world .. he missed it horribly. It is only rrright, after all ..

[They always left .. getting attached was a silly waste of time. She was better off on her own, right? No one wanted a wasted away useless gryphon ..]

Aww...aww c'mon hun. Ain't no use in feelin' too sad. Y'don't know. He might come back soon. Y'know he was doin' somethin' real important. Heck, probably was surprised by it himself! He knew he was goin', he woulda told ya.

[This is, of course, the sensible way for a sensible person to think. Pathetic gryphon is go ..]

I am certain he was not expecting to leave so suddenly ..

[The uncertainty is clearly audible in her voice; and this is even KNOWING that the Warrior considered her special. But he was gone now .. Silently she finds herself wondering if he really would have told her.]

[oneperfecthit]

Of course he weren't. He ain't th' type t'just go without tellin'.

[Granted, he didn't know him that long or that well, but saying as such isn't exactly comforting.]

It'll be all right, hun.

[bondedgryphon]

[Zhaneel nods for the sake of nodding, but the thought is there now. She knows well that she'd have been expected to toughen up and move on if she were home. They lost fellows all the time, after all, and weakness could lead to a slip that cost other lives.]

I know .. I ssshould concerrn mysself with thosse ssstill herre. He isss ssafe, now .. and would not wisssh forr me to worrrry.
