MOSS
They were sitting near a gravestone; the epitaph was covered in moss, but both parties knew what it said. The girl turned to her uncle, wrapping her arms round her knees. "Taisa," she mumbled. "Do you think..."
The Taisa turned one obsidian eye toward his niece, then looked back down at the grave, sighing. "Do I think he'll come back?" finished the man, who was in truth no longer a Taisa.
Rose nodded. "Yeah. I mean.." She paused, lifting a hand to run it along the polished stone. They'd alchemically covered the gravestone with moss, because he'd always liked it. "Do you think what we wrote on the stone is true for him? Is he?"
Roy shrugged. "Perhaps," he replied. "We'll find out sometime. I don't doubt that he'll come back." He got up, holding a hand out for his niece, who took it. Both ambled off with a final sad look at the headstone.
Below the untouched moss lay a sort of prayer, although the owner of said grave had been -- and was -- an atheist. They'd liked the sound of the words together.
/Amen, I'm alive/
