[ It's late, and, save for the one source of light, it's quite clearly dark out. For a moment, there's not even any sound on the video apart from what trickles in from the late Wyver crowd on the street. Loras opens his mouth several times before he finally decides on which words to say. ]

My sister's decided to leave. That is, returning to stasis. I'll never fault her for any choice she makes. She's always thought things through completely before acting. I'm not entirely certain how I'll manage without her, really, and it's already very strange.

I suppose, mostly, I wanted to let everyone know. I know that she has many friends and I've no idea if she's spoken of this to many, if anyone at all. In case you began to wonder what's become of her. I've got faith that she'll return again when the time is right.

[ There's another lull of silence before the video ends. ]

Decided?

[triplerose]

I believe that she doesn't feel that this is her time yet. Whatever grand design we're here for. Just as well, hopefully when she wakes this conflict between Olympia and Wyver will be solved.

I am not acquainted with your sister, but I am sorry to hear it. Though, you seem to think she has planned this- is that possible?

[triplerose]

Perhaps not, but I'd never be surprised if she worded it to make me think so.

[reek]

Your sister did not decide to do anything.

[triplerose]

If you've come here with nothing but harsh words, I'll let you know now that you're wasting your time.

I do not believe that is how this works, Loras Tyrell.

[ be that as it may, he might be slightly more tactful than the Turncloak.

but only slightly. ]

[triplerose]

We all believe what suits us best.

[ A pause. ]

How are you faring, Lord Stannis?

[ Have a sympathetic look from Steve. He knows what it's like to lose someone to stasis, particularly this month. ]

You and your sister were close?

[triplerose]

[ Thank you, Steve. It seems kind words or sympathy are hard to come by. ]

We are. We keep no secrets from one another, I trust her with everything.

I wasn't aware the process was voluntary.

[Though, if it is, she's sympathetic. It isn't impossible to imagine it being a desirable choice.]

Either way, I'm terribly sorry.

[triplerose]

In any event, she's gone back. It will take some getting used to.

[ There is a soft concern and deep care etched onto his worried face. ]

Though I never met your sister, I am sorry for your loss. I know words mean little in the face of this, but I know she will be cared for while she sleeps. And while it might sound hollow, know that if you need anything, I am here for you.

[triplerose]

[ Rein's is a face that Loras is happy to see. It brings some sort of relief to his growing anxiety about the subject. ]

You're a good man, Reinhardt, and a good friend. I suspect you'll be seeing too much of me in the coming days.

Good heavens, so much skepticism in this broadcast.

[ To be fair, Byerly is skeptical as well. More precisely, he thinks, like hell she chose to go back into stasis. And originally, he was going to chime in with that, but having eavesdropped on the other respondents, he decides to be a bit more supportive. ]

Honestly, one has a hard time blaming her for returning to stasis. The fashions are simply dreadful in this era. I'd like to sleep a hundred years in the hopes they improve by the time I'm awake.

[triplerose]

[ Skepticism or not, Loras appreciates that Byerly isn't adding his voice to it. Do any of them ever really know what's going on this place? ]

Sleep does sound favourable. I suppose we can't all be so fortunate.

[ Though she doesn't know Loras, or Margaery Tyrell for that matter, her expression is one of sympathy when the feed connects, the half-elf leaning back against something dark brown and furred as she adjusts her camera angle. ]

I'm sorry to hear about that. It was hard enough when a friend of mine went to sleep a few moons back. I can't imagine how I would feel were it my brother who was asleep and I awake.

[triplerose]

Thank you. I know I'm not the only one to lose a loved one to stasis again, but it hurts all the same.

She chose to return to stasis?

[triplerose]

She was resigned to it.

[romancekiller]

Speaking from experience, going back into stasis isn't exactly something we're able to decide on.

I'm sorry to hear about your sister though.

[triplerose]

[ Oh, really? Loras hadn't heard that from every other person who responded. He's starting to regret posting at all, but it had seemed the easiest way to reach out to his sister's friends. ]

You'll have to forgive me. I've a habit of wrapping joyless things in more pleasant words to make them seem easier. In the future, I'll try to remember to be blunt.

[Cole might not know this person or their sister, but that doesn't matter. Though he can't really help much through the network...]

I'm sorry. You must miss her.

[triplerose]

I do, I miss her rather a lot.

[ eggsy speaks softly. ]

Thanks for telling everyone. [ it's kind — and difficult. ] Guess you'll have to spend double the time with me now, yeah? Gotta get my Tyrell fix.

[triplerose]

[ It does get a sort of smile out of Loras. A slight quirk of his lips. ]

I suppose there are worse ways I could be using my time. [ The smile drops. ] I'm sorry. I know how fond if her you are.

video; un: lady

[unprays]

Oh, Loras... I'm so sorry.

[ so sorry that she forgets to address him as ser — and though she doubts even Margaery would have been able to command when to sleep and when not, she doesn't have the heart to point that out. if it is easier for him to believe that... then believe that he shall.

and besides — she is truly sorry, and it shows in her expression, her voice. ]

... I hope you know I will miss her greatly. And that while we wait for her to return, you will always have a friend in me.

[triplerose]

[ Loras is glad to see Sansa's face. Maybe they're not quite as close as she and Margaery were, but she's a friendly face, and Loras knows she'll have kind words. Regardless of it all. ]

Thank you. Your friendship is appreciated more than I show it.
