On a certain muse suddenly waking up again

[lightbranded]

[Will couldn't help but be a bit amused.]

Well, then. That break didn't last long, did it?

Comments

[inafadingcrown]

They never do.

[lightbranded]

I suppose I can't really complain. It is something for me to do, after all.

[He offers her a small smile.]

It is good to see you again, Lady Galadriel.

[inafadingcrown]

You have always been excessively practical.

[And she returns the smile]

As it is to see you, Will.

[lightbranded]

I've never seen the point of being anything else. [But he says this with a hint of amusement at himself. It was true, he could truly be terribly practical at times.]

It has been some time, hasn't it?

[inafadingcrown]

Too long, to my way of thinking.

Does your Lady have plans for you?

[lightbranded]

From what I have heard, I rather expect I shall be seeing some version of your world soon.

[inafadingcrown]

Then we will meet again. though I fear I will not know you. And, indeed, I will not yet be the woman you know. [A little less wise, a little more brash. But getting there.]

[lightbranded]

I shall not know you either, I suppose. [Will smiles sadly.]

I do now know whether it is better to be the only one who remembers, or to be one who forgets along with the rest.

[inafadingcrown]

You have quite a history with such things, do you not?

[lightbranded]

I suppose I do, at that. Sometimes such things are necessary.

[No matter how much it grieved him.]
