Eternal questions (Ithea)

[Anastasia]

You find Stille just outside. He leans against the wall, smiling widely as you approach, "Ithea," he greets you as you approach, going to gently put his arms around you. "I'm sorry I wasn't here sooner."

[Merc]

"It's fine. Nobody can be here all of the time," Ithea says with a small sigh, leaning against him. "I'm not gonna say I'm fine, but I'm dealing with it. Just got back from a quick visit to the Memorial, in fact."

"Otherwise managing to keep myself busy, which is helping. Comfort is appreciated though."

[Anastasia]

Being held is warm and comfortable, Stille's arms holding Ithea tight. "Sometimes it's all you can do," Stille whispers to her, "Would you care for a late breakfast? I've prepared something for you."

[Merc]

Ithea looks apologetic at that. "Crystal and that new pixie, Moore, are waiting for me. I can spare a bit of time and have a few quick bites of something, but I really shouldn't keep them waiting too long. If you'd like to tag along though?"

[Anastasia]

"Ah yes, that would be a smashing idea," Stille flashes a grin, "We can eat later. Let's go see them. Something to keep you busy, indeed."

[Merc]

"Do we need to put the food away or anything?"

[Anastasia]

"Sweet Elena will take care of it. If you would, Elena?" Stille asks, then offers Ithea his arm. "Shall we?"

[Merc]

Ithea nods. "Alright then."

Moving you on over to Moore's thread, Ithea. Expect a post there shortly.
