Verse 07 -- Voice

[poeticverses]

[The feed's just a voice one today. Jehan wants it to be quick and to the point]

I apologize for this announcement, as it could not possibly come at a worse time, but I feel it is my duty as his friend to let others know. If you knew Grantaire, he is no longer here. It is possible that his disappearance is connected to the rapid decay of Asti in these last few days though I do not think that is likely to be the cause.

[Still, you never know.]

It would not hurt to keep in contact with friends here, should this illness lead to more disappearances.

Comments

audio;

[poeticverses]

I am. I had hoped he was simply out, but no one near his apartment has seen him come or go all day.

audio;

[trifurcate]

I see.

[Bryn is quiet a moment, trying to come to terms with this, and finding herself unable so quickly.]

Are you at his suite now?

Re: audio;

[poeticverses]

I am not. I returned to my own suite when I realized he was gone.

[And he snagged some drawings, mostly of himself]

[trifurcate]

[She nods, and remembers belatedly that he can't see that.]

I hope you and...and the others would not mind if I stopped by there? I have some of my things there, and...there are other items I would have if there is no objection.

[Mementos, or at least his drawings of her.]

audio;

[poeticverses]

I have no objection to this and I doubt the others would. You were a friend of Grantaire's as well, after all.

audio;

[trifurcate]

Thank you, Jehan. And if you need anything, of course you know you have only to ask.

[Though how much help she might be is debatable.]

audio;

[poeticverses]

Of course, and I extend the same offer to you. I do not wish to lose your friendship, Bryn.

audio;

[trifurcate]

You will not, I can promise you that.

[They may have had a mutual friend in Grantaire, but that did not mean they were not also friends in their own right.]

audio;

[poeticverses]

[He sounds a little relieved when he replies]

That is a great comfort. Thank you.

[He starts to ask about her powers and if she's been affected, but he stops]

Ah...if you do not mind Gavroche running in and out at odd hours, you will have a...a safe place here, should you need it.

[Since powers]

audio;

[trifurcate]

[Oh, Jehan.]

I...might take you up on that offer, for company if nothing else. I can handle myself but with so many things changing, I'd prefer to be close to friends. The offer goes both ways of course, if you want to get out for a while. Anytime.

audio;

[poeticverses]

Thank you, Bryn. You are a wonderful friend.

audio;

[trifurcate]

If I am it's because you make it easy to be.

[It's a sweet sentiment, one that's a comfort with Grantaire's recent departure.]

I think I ought to head over now, while I'm still motivated to do so. I'll be back in an hour or so if you find you want company.
