[Someone certainly sounds serious today.]

Galadriel. I'm sorry to ask this of you so suddenly, but can you go to Legato's room and check to see whether his name is still on the door or not?

[After Galadriel confirms that Legato is no longer in the castle, well... Rin has to take a minute and share the good news.

She sounds a little weird. Mostly it's because she can barely believe he's gone. Legato has been a burden and responsibility for her one way or another for a long time. She feels relieved and weirdly... sad. It would have been nice if he could have changed here, become a different person, a better person. But that didn't happen and now he's gone. With any luck, he'll stay that way.]

... Legato Bluesummers is gone.

[It sounds like she might say something else, and then she just stops and doesn't.]

As did I, in perfect honesty. ... But we both know, that wasn't the answer. [he sighs, a frown slowly crossing his face. darkly:]

Besides. ... That was what he wanted ...

[payback]

Yeah, well...

[She shakes her head.]

I don't know. If he wanted it... [How much a difference that made to her final decision, that is.]

... It's over now anyway.

[cricketycricket]

It is. [he nods] Your time's your own, again, now. ... [just enough happiness creeps into his tone - a considerate amount of teasing] Which means you'll have no excuse not to come and visit.

[payback]

Visit? I'll move back.

[cricketycricket]

Even better.

There's no reason to stay out there now, you know.
