Firefly Glen You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Somewhat abruptly, and with a hint of sadness, Shrike ended their conversation. Elwood supposed it was the right thing to do; he was glad that he had seen his friend, but it was time, once again, for them to go their separate ways. He truly wished the best for Shrike and hoped that he would be happy in Neverwinter Forest, and he regretted what had transpired between Shrike and Fox.

"You too," he replied quietly, hesitating for a moment. An unspoken agreement hung in the air -- he knew that if Shrike came across any news of Lucy, he would find a way to share it with him. There was no need to remind him to keep searching for his missing daughter; Shrike was already going above and beyond the call of duty by watching out for Lucy, since he was no longer a member of her family's pack. Finally, Elwood added, "I appreciate everything you've done."

He smiled faintly, then turned and began to make his way back towards the caldera, now sifting through his hazy, poppy-obscured memories of the last few hours.
