OOC'ly - I'm posting here because I have a friend to whom I did not get to say goodbye, and I hate that...so...the last part of this post will be an IC note left for him at the Cleric's Guild. To Sarlon's player - what a sweetheart you are and fun to RP with and soooo silly. Thanks for the past few months, they've been great. If time and my new life allow it I might play again but for now, I have to settle into being a wife and mom so in case I don't come back, I wanted to tell you goodbye. Take care of yourself, bye hon.

IC:

The note found it's way from Laurynn's shaking hands to that of an elder cleric, "Please..see that Sarlon gets this?" she asked, tear streaks shimmering in the moonlight as it fell on her face. "I will, lass, there is no other way?" Her head shook but the only sound she could make was a muffled sob and her hands balled into fists, rubbing at her already red eyes. With a deep breath she straightened and offered a soft smile to the old clergyman, "No other way...thank you for your help, please look after him a little, we had such plans..." and her voice trailed off, fingers twirling around a ring, obviously not hers, for it was too large for her slender finger. The ring glistened and sparkled as it turned around and around on her finger then she shook from her daydream and tears spilled anew, "Tell him I love him.." she murmured, and to seek Miss Teel, I left something for him with her..." The old man nodded and a gentle hand patted Laurynn's shoulder then she turned to go.

Once her footsteps were to faint to hear, the old man grinned a little and opened the letter, it was not sealed, and while he was not reading it with malicious intent, he was indeed curious to see why the girl would leave her beloved. His eyes misted as he read then he folded it and tucked it away and set on his search for the young man. The letter read:

My love, Sarlon,

You will know as soon as this letter is put in your hands that I am already gone. I promised I would say goodbye and it pains me that I was not able to keep that promise. Mother has taken ill and papa sent for me this morning, I have no time...there is no way for me to find you...I pray this letter does. I suppose most of what I feel I should say has already been said in our quiet whispers..those moments when we talked of dreams and how life might someday be so I will forego repeating things that would likely only bring pain. I love you dearly and if it were possible I would be in your arms but the gods have decided this is not to be. I have no idea if I shall ever return, and if I do, it may be a long time. Hopefully what we have shared will not be forgotten but treasured and smiled upon, and perhaps someday if fate allows, we will embrace once more.

Love as always,

~Your Laurynn
