On something that's been a long time coming

[shadowsfadeintolight]

Will I miss it?

At heart, no. You know what my opinion of the city has been, ever since I first pulled myself up out of the well.

Will I miss who I met there? With one exception, no. Everyone else there that was familiar to me was from my time before the city, and... [Heaves a sigh.] From my perspective now, there will be no distance between waking up and seeing them again.

From their perspective, well...

They'll just have to have faith.

As for you, you wonder if I mind no longer being one of your more active muses, and the answer is no. I do not mind.

You've grown past needing the type of catharsis playing me provides, and for that... I am proud of you.

As for those I left behind, they're in good hands. After all, Legato remains.

If anyone deserves the rest, it's you.

...I hope you have a good...sort of retirement, Bass.

[tearsofsteel]

That's life I guess, we move on...as much as we wouldn't want to.

[theytookmypants]

We'll miss ya around the city Bass, but hey, at least it just means I'll see you more around the house proper, eh?

[shadowsfadeintolight]

One could easily say the same of you.

[shadowsfadeintolight]

Thank you.

...

I regret that we didn't speak more.

[shadowsfadeintolight]

Such is the way things are. And we must catch up and keep up, or risk being lost in the change.

[shadowsfadeintolight]

True enough.

[paleofcourage]

You're welcome.

[Shiro smiles lightly when he says that.] ...Same here. I wouldn't have minded it...at all, really. You were pretty cool.
