Sixth Cup of Tea [Public|Voice|Various Filters- Posted Amicus Morning]

[myfavoritetea]

[No Filter]...It has been said that the flower which blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of them all. Let us not forget, even in such times of pain and unrest, that life in Reial goes on. This morning, even as so many lives have been brought to an end, new life continues. Babies are continuing to take their first breaths, children

[The first meeting he had gone to in years was under an illusion and at the moment Sam has no intention of revealing himself.]

Understood, I'm following a lead of my own. I have reason to suspect this incident may run along my line of specialty. [Re: The 'gods' of Reial.]

When do I not? But your advice has been noted.

Even further caution is suggested. Events are unfolding at an alarming rate. All information is appreciated.

Understood. I am not currently mobile, but say the word, and I can be. This cannot happen again.

We are all agreed to that point. Remain in your current position at the moment, but watch for any information that could be useful.

We need to know more.

I-iroh . . .

[The soft voice breaks into a crackle . . . there's a faint buzz as he resets his vocal modulator and tries again.]

Cybertronians . . . once said the same thing. A-about surviving anything. Cybertron is . . . is gone now, exactly the same way, and all its people with it. Well, e-except me and Optimus. And . . . and Dinobot.

[And with that seems to come a needed reminder. Iroh will hear a soft rush of air like a heavy sigh as the little mech vents his frustrations and fears with the cycle of air from his cooling fans.]

Yeah, so . . . I guess we're not all gone. And you're right about those still living, of course. We're fortunate that even more lives weren't lost, though the lost of any is unacceptable. Sorry.

And . . . thanks.

You have no reason to apologize.

It is never easy to lose anyone you care about, be it one friend or many of them. And it never will get any easier, Bumblebee. But dwelling on the past only ensures that you will have no future.

Your friends live on within you, just as those who have died this day live on in us all.

All we can do is continue to move forward.

[flightofthe]

. . . I know. It's . . . what I've been doing since the day Optimus and I were brought back online.

You're right about it never getting any easier, though. I know it really doesn't. Only too well.

...As do I.

[Sigh]

Ultimately, you can either let it consume you or move through it. Those are, regrettably, the only two options.
