[He would rather do this by text, but his English is still very awkward and he doesn't think that everyone he needs to contact would be able to read d'Angeline. Thus, he sits pale but composed, hands folded on the console in front of him.]

I am very sorry to announce that Mademoiselle Favrielle nó Eglantine is no longer present on Tu Vishan. My heart goes out to all who knew her- she was a very good friend to me and to many others, I am certain.

[He looks down, remembering what he has to say next and taking a calming breath, and then looks back up.]

She has given me the ownership of her business, and I hope that everyone working for her now will continue to do so- if we could have a meeting in a day or two, I think that would be for the best.

In addition, she has left letters and gifts for some of those who remain. [He reads the list of names out carefully.] Nita, Stephanie, Kyle, Oliver, Bucky, Bruce, Dorian, Henry, Inara, Sep, Peggy, Amon- there is something for each of you. Please contact me so that we can make arrangements for its delivery.

I have also been instructed to tell any ladies of her acquaintance that they may have what they like from her wardrobe.

[He can't make himself smile right now, so he just nods.]

Again, I am sorry to be the one to deliver this news. I wish I did not have to.

[She's frowning in the screen.]

You're absolutely certain she's no longer here?

[There wouldn't be a post like this if it weren't the case, but she has to ask anyway. It's kind of surreal, given how much of a normal presence Favrielle had been throughout Peggy's entire time on the turtle.]

I wish it were not so, but yes. I am.

[He looks apologetic. He is. He is sorry for every friend who has lost her.]

I'm sorry to hear that, but I suppose if she's gone home, that's a good thing as well.

[A pause.] My apologies - I'm also one of those she's left something for. My name is Peggy.

Yes. She still had... something at home, so it is good. [She wasn't one of the dead.]

Ah, yes. I wish we were meeting under happier circumstances- would you prefer to meet, or shall I have it delivered?

I'm glad for that much, at least.

[She shakes her head.] No, I can meet without issue. Where shall I go? The location of her business or -?

I've had everything brought over to my home. It's in Earth Sector. [He displays his location for her, which brings a pang. Favrielle was the one who had showed him how, so she could come see him on his first day.]

[A short nod.] Is there any particular time that's convenient for you?

Tomorrow, any time you like. I will be there.

Perhaps just after lunch?

Yes, certainly. That would be a good time.

[Brief nod.] Understood.

Thank you for taking the time to pass all of this along.

I am glad it was of use.
