Who: Adrasteius
Broadcast: Everyone
Action: the Golden
When: Now

[Oh, Light; Adrasteius is exhausted. He's barely slept for the last however many days, a product of his campaign to avoid the calibrations as much as possible. Even then, the memories of what he intruded upon dog him (especially in Coil's case), and--despite his discipline--he's drunk from sleep deprivation. But today is an important day. An important time.]

I don't know about the rest of you, but --

[His speech is a little slurred. He blinks a few times, sighs, and goes on.]

-- but back home, we have a tradition on this day. 'S called Pilgrim's Bounty. There's ... typically ...

[He makes a bunch of vague gestures.]

You know. Feasting. Turkey and pies and everything. We all sit around outside the capital and just--jump from table to table. And we're thankful. That's the key bit. More than the food.

We're thankful that we're still alive. That the Light, or --

[He exhales slowly.]

-- or the elements, or pure happenstance ... that it's preserved us. For this moment.

[He runs his hands through his long hair, his fingers tangling in his feathery bangs.]

And even though I'm here, and I miss my home, I'm still--grateful. Because I don't have my whole family. But I have my son. I have the grace of the Light. And I hope that, despite everything, you all can find something to be thankful for, too.

[He rests his head down on the kitchen table. He mutters.]

Light be with you.

[ She nods. She could go on, babbling how happy she is to have someone to call her father. But she considers how tired he looks... ]

...You look like you could use some rest.

Um... okay?

[ Even though she's not much of a storyteller. ]

I'm not sure where to start.

He's... strong and brave!

[ Sometimes he had nightmares too. He'd probably think of it as "weak" of himself. But most of the time he showed his strongest side for Elize. ]

And a little overprotective, sometimes? I know he's just worried about me.

[ She said something similar, when Cullen was telling her that he was a soldier where he came from. He didn't quite agree being called a "knight in shining armor", but she still thinks he is one.

It brings out a little laugh from her. ]


That's exactly it!
