[ First Aid is still hard at work, but he's back to video. He's got some kind of oil on his hands and he looks pretty satisfied now. ]

The pyre is almost ready. The ceremony will be tomorrow. Those who have loved ones amongst the dead, please let me know if you wish to light their pyre mound.

I told you, it's all about phrasing.

[ This is practically a grin with his optics. ]

Anyway, I wasn't trying to gloat. I actually would like to ask you for a favor. Do you think you can assist with the fire?

I know Drift, it's one of the reasons I'm comfortable telling you. And of all people, you're the one who matters most.

Dissapointment, likely, yes. But I don't think he'd hate you. Not from what you describe of him. [Now it's Wing's turn for a sad smile.] Though sometimes that's harder to bear.

[He's not going to answer that first part other than with a soft thrumming sound of gratification.]

I'm...I'm tired of letting people down.

[And he's worried about doing it to Wing.]

[winged_knight]

You do you best Drift. [ It's not just bland sentiment, Wing means every word. ] He'd be proud if he saw you today. I know I am.

No. I don't think he would. I think he'd be upset. He never liked my temper.
