Goodbye.

[Private to Coyo, Sirius, Dracula, Loki, Kay, Rhade, Brax.]

I need to see you. Now.

[Added after she's talked to her people in person.]

When I came here, I did not expect to be here long. I thought that it would be easy to simply graduate an inmate and then leave. I did not realize how hard it was to change the ways of mortals, and I did not realize how much worse it would be with people leaving, or being taken.

Then I worried that the Admiral may have been lying, and I stayed after Edgar graduated. I did not expect what happened next, but now I understand why.

I am done here. I am sorry to those who I have hurt, and I hope that you are able to leave here soon.

The gardens should prosper, even in my absence. I have fortified them.

[Once he's shaken Narvin after the flood, he does rush to her room. He knows she's going to leave, and while he didn't want to drag an unwilling Time Lord before a god, he doesn't want to miss her before she goes.

He actually ends up running and adjusting his clothes primly before he knocks on the door.]

[Persephone opens the door with a smile, and then she took a step back, her hand taking a hold of his.]

Thank you for coming.

[He takes hers immediately, searching her expression. At least she's happy. He can see that. At the very least, content.]

I was happy to.

I wished to let you know that I am graduating. I am going to be leaving, Rhade.

I gathered. [He clasps her fingers gently and briefly.]

Even if I'm pleased for you, I hope it's not too much of a burden to say this place will be less with your absence.

It is not. I would be sad if you did not. I hope that people will miss me. To miss someone is to have them be remembered.

[Persephone smiled at him quickly, and she glowed for a moment.]

You will graduate soon too, yes?

[He leaned in and brushed her hair at the side of her face with the tips of his fingers.]

I'll try. [That much was honesty. Doubtful, but honest.]

[Spam.]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

Good. It took a very long time for me to even try.

[Persephone smiled at him, and then she leaned over and kissed him softly.]

[Spam.]

[He returns the kiss gently, before pulling back.]

Now I have to. Just to be able to tell someone that I actually kissed a goddess. [At least he could leave her with a light-hearted compliment. Living god that he was intended to be, he appreciated the idea.]

[Persephone chuckled for a moment, and then she pulled away and went to her garden. She picked up a purple plant that was a bit like an orchid.]

I made this for you.

[Spam.]

[truth_is_cold]

[He accepted it. A little part of him is worried, because he's never taken care of plants on a vessel before. But there's no harm in learning something new.]

Thank you. You made it?

[He's reminded of Trance and her flowers. The flowers she loved as if she herself gave them life.]

[Spam.]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

Yes. I made it. It will be fine, but do not give it water often. It is dry.

[Persephone watched him.]

It should thrive as long as you have it.
