[QUOTE="Elf_Ariel, post: 2561986, member: 34891"] [I]Tacked to the boards is a cluster of notes, all written with a careful flowing hand. Each appears to be a goodbye, but for a short time (aka 3 weeks). Before all the notes appears a poem.[/I] [B]What if? [/B] An awkward hello Follows a difficult goodbye Too much time spent Searching for those perfect words Until we meet again... In this life Or another A piece of my heart Will always be with you Begging for your soft touch Pieces of my thoughts Will always be with you Begging for the answer...[I]what if?[/I] [I]The first reads:[/I] To Belaros, A pity, perhaps, that I choose this time to wander, when things are so ‘smooth’ between us. Happy hunting, I shall return, to see what choices you have made; and thus, what courses I choose to take. With all love Ariel. [I]The second reads:[/I] To Byron, Take care, son of mine, both as my blood and as my friend. Be wise, and take time in your decisions. Know that our contact can never be broken, if you have need, I will return as soon as possible. Please, with love and care Ariel [I]The next follows:[/I] My dear Mara, Take care of Byron. He needs you more than he needs me. Stand by him, and do your best to stay out of trouble. Always keep an extra drink handy, it’ll save you most every time.

I will see you upon my return, and hope that the awkwardness has washed away with the flowing of time. Have a care to know I love you, even if it is not in the way you wish it. Love dearly Ariel [I]Yet another note is found:[/I] For Gilgamesh, I expect some cake when I get back! [I]And below is found a cartoon drawing of a pig.[/I] Love dearly Ariel [I]And another note:[/I] For Zanza, I suppose I’m not leaving on the best of terms. Take care, and forgive me some at least. Things press on my mind, but that is no excuse for my behaviour. Love Ariel [I]Yet another note:[/I] For Cyrus, Well, what can I say? I’m running off for a while, perhaps, in the end, for longer than we both expected. Keep well, keep smiling, and please please keep your lovely attitude. It makes a fresh break of things that I enjoy. You’re company will much be missed.
