[ a wistful smile is his answer, at first, before he nods as his tail curls closer to her. ]

It is. I often wonder if it is better or not, when we might be able to say goodbye to them.

[fightolive]

It was rare I ever got to say goodbye. [ A pause. ] I would've liked to.

[dijun]

[ he's quiet for a moment, before setting his hand on her arm. ]

Let us find some sparklers, then, Miss Firefly. One for each friend that you want to say goodbye to. We will dedicate this night to them, and perhaps... wherever they are, they'll be able to witness this fireworks display.

[fightolive]

I'd like that.

[ Her arm feels like armor, even underneath the fabrics. Time to get up and start looking.

She needs a lot of sparklers for this. ]

[dijun]

[ he doesn't question it, considering that he's displaying his full adeptus heritage with his exuvia traits at the moment. they can talk about it if she wants to, but he won't pry, considering what they're doing now.

he'd rather they could find lanterns or fireworks, but sparklers will do. probably for the best they don't just "sell" them out in the open. ]

However many we need, we'll see it through to the last firework tonight.

[fightolive]

[ Fireworks can do a lot of damage if set off in short range... better that they aren't easy to acquire. ]

Thank you.

... It'll be a lot.

[dijun]

That's alright. I'd like to help with what I can - should we need to spread it out over the week, so be it.

[ rip to all the dead clones, but it's fine. they'll go through as many sparklers as needbe. ]

[fightolive]

There were tens of thousands of us once.

[They didn't all exist at the same time, of course. So many of them died from battle before she was ever created.]

It will likely take much more than a week.

[dijun]

Then so long as we both remain here, I will help you celebrate each life that was lost.

[ sincerely and simply, as if celebrating ten thousand lives lost is not some great undertaking. if they were lost, they deserve to be remembered - and to maybe see the signs that they were. ]

Perhaps we can construct our own lantern for them. I have made many over the years, and it isn't difficult once you have a design.

[fightolive]

If you're willing to teach me, I'd really appreciate it.

[There are so many things she'd like to learn, and so many people she wants to remember.]
