[Jedao smiles into his drink, thinking of Gonou's reaction to finding out about Kujen.]

I know the feeling.

[major_rawne]

[Good. It's not just him that gets like that, then.]

Do you like it here, mostly?

[deuceoftears]

I do.

[The small, warm smile stays.]

You?

[major_rawne]

[Oh no. That smile looks good on him.]

Yes. I've got a life here. Friends. Boyfriends.

[deuceoftears]

Big step up, is it?

[major_rawne]

Giant. I come from a place that's... like where you come from, from what I've been told. Very violent. Full of war.

[deuceoftears]

Then I'm glad you're here.

[major_rawne]

Me, too.

I'm glad you're here, too. No one deserves to live in a place like that.

[deuceoftears]

It's getting better.

I mean, we're still at war, but...the worst excesses are over.

[He wonders how much Jedao One told Rawne about those.]

[major_rawne]

Like the human sacrifices?

[deuceoftears]

[His mouth twists in an extremely wry grimace. Question answered!]

Yes, those.

[major_rawne]

[Jedao one had told him a few things, and he'd seen some others from various floods.]

Good. We had similar things, though not as formalized as what you did.

[deuceoftears]

Some people have friends, even in places like that.

Not me, but. The General, certainly.

[major_rawne]

I had a few friends, of a sort. Eventually. They're... they're dead, though. Gaunt and Feygor both.

[He takes a long drink. Talking about Gaunt's death still hurts, even though it's been over a year. It's why he came back. To save the Ghosts after Gaunt died.]

[deuceoftears]

I'm sorry.

I've lost - well. My Kel didn't like me much, but I liked them.

[He raises his glass, wordlessly, a toast for things that can't be spoken better, and takes another deep swallow himself.]

[major_rawne]

[Rawne just nods and stares at his glass. He doesn't trust himself to say anything right now.]
