Hi everybody. My name's Sorey; I'm First Mate on the Huntress, but uh...

[He pauses. Sighs and starts over.]

A lot of people are missing. People we love. People who we don't know if they'll be back; there's a chance, definitely, a good chance, but that doesn't mean the pain and fear and the grief will go away. Sometimes, it even gets worse. The uncertainty is almost as terrible as the loss itself.

I'll be conducting memorial services in the Interfaith Center for the next week, every day at noon. Anybody is welcome to attend. It won't be anything fancy; lighting candles and burning incense, tea, reading some things from texts I've picked up along the way. If you don't want to come but you'd like me to say something for you during the service, feel free to leave it here. I'll add it to everything.


Also, if you'd like to come by just to have some quiet, or for a listening ear, I'll be here most times. There's an area where you can pray or set up altars or anything that you'd find more comfortable; we just ask that you cover up any symbols you make when you finish. If you need any help building anything, please let me know, I've got a shop area back on my ship.


Religious ties aren't necessary, either, and there's a meditation room next door if you just need some space to think. Please come by if you need anything.


.action. - Iskaulit

[Sorey can be found puttering about the Interfaith Center on most days during the current drift. He's usually in the kitchen, sometimes with Mikleo, as well as praying at the small elemental altar in a corner of the prayer chamber, separated from the lounge area by a curtain.

Sometimes he's curled up on one of the couches in the lounge with a book or a set of hand-drawn maps, frowning as he scribbles notes and erases lines.]

... Lord Mikleo did comment that he wasn't fond of the way Lady Lunafreya sent out wedding invitations. He really doesn't like dogs, does he?

Still, I think it looks endearing.

[ It's good to see Sorey so excited, really - it's like a complete turn around from when they lat spoke to one another.

She looks to Sorey, mimicking his movements, then. ]


Then, please allow me to offer my own prayers to it.

[ She takes the time to light one of the matches, almost immediately lighting those candles after. ]

Thank you.

[ She'll clasp her hands together then, bowing slightly as though offering a prayer. It isn't as though this is commonly done at home these days, so perhaps she looks a little silly... ]

[ BRUH.

She looks towards Sorey then. ]


... To tell you the truth, I hadn't been saying anything particularly special. [ He shakes her head. ] I was thanking them.

[ Her expression falls, though she doesn't look discouraged at the memory. ]

I won't deny the fact that some think that it's a little silly to pray to seraphim. But... I believe even more strongly now in the fact that we should offer our gratitude to them.

... It does make sense, all things considering. Still, I... may not be the best teacher when it comes to things like this. There's a great deal that I myself haven't been able to experience that many other people have.

Do you think that the journey's helped you? [ He does get to travel a lot. ]

... As far as I know, praying does differ from person to person in some way or another. I feel as though those who are counting on you wouldn't take offense in your questions.

[ It's likely a weak way to reassure him, but... it's also an honest answer. ]

In the meantime, is there any other way I may be able to help you?

[ She doesn't want him to feel so awkward if she can help it... ]

[ Shakes her head. ] The shrine that you and Lord Mikleo put together is wonderful. [ She never really felt awkward praying here or anything. ]

I've tried to offer my own prayers, though at the same time, I haven't been able to devote as much time as I should. [ Look... She's really busy. ]

Even so, thre's always something more that can be done. [ Her work is never really done. Still, after a moment or so, she offers a small smile in gratitude for his show of comfort. ]
