Farid has died. Dustfinger can't grasp it, doesn't understand where Farid has gone. This is pre-exchange, by the way.
Gone
That face was so fierce when in battle
So gentle when seeing his love
So proud when given a compliment
So wild when off on a chase
So peaceful when curled up asleep
So jealous when sharing my time
So sad when thinking of Meggie
So fearful when thinking of ghosts...
Such an expressive face...
So open, so readable...
But now it's empty.
Hollow, deserted.
This is not Farid--
Where has he gone?
Have his expression left him
A hollow shell, a wraith?
Show me where you've hidden them
So that I may restore them to him
So that his eyes will light up again
And Farid will return...
Please, please show me where you've hidden them.
Please.
