In Recognition of Seven Years

Seven years is no small amount of time. Certainly, the princess bound to silence until she'd made seven shirts from nettles for her brothers could say so. How fortunate neither you nor I have been bound to such silence. We're rather the inversion of the tale: bound to speak rather than bound to silence. The nettles, though...

Still, it's worthwhile to recognise the occasion.

I'll ring for Riff and we'll have tea.

It's not likely to be proper to toast with tea, but we will, and we'll remember them all: Lailis, the crippled queen; Megumi, who left and returned again; Princess Rue and Ahiru and Autor and Fakir who showed me such generosity when I first arrived; Radu and the Order above him, and the Professor and whatever rivalry was between them all; Rosiel, the mad angel and those following hi and standing against him; the Corinthian, for whatever he was worth...and, most of all, Rosella. Between the two of us we could name a thousand names, friends and foes alike.

Seven years is no short time, least of all in the City.

Come, we'll make an afternoon of it, recalling it all, from that first sight of the Carousel to the last view through the Door. And you know I've kept my promises.

We'll toast the City and seven years.

[In recognition of what would have been my seven year anniversary at POLYchromatic playing Cain Hargreaves. Thank you for humoring me♥]
