---Sandry's report---
She's all I've got and all I've had for the longest time... and I guess there's no way to show that kind of appreciation to someone who can only smile at you when you've done something wrong, who can just smile so innocently, like the wrong thing you did was right... I guess I've never been used to that because there's no way of knowing when I'll be scolded for doing the wrong thing!
I may swallow my pride when I'm near her, because that's the kind of feeling I get around her, like there's nothing wrong with knowing I can just swallow my pride and be me...
Lark, the woman who treats me like her own child, will always be inside my magic and in my heart as both a mother and a friend, as well as an advisor, someone I could have loved if I was older, someone who was always there and will be, someone who's willing to go the distance to make me happy... and she would have gone the distance to make me the center of her world if she could!
I will always remember Dedicate Lark of the Earth Temple because of her strong will, her beautiful face, all that glory she brings down upon the darkness in my heart, the thread that she wove tight around my heart, and the bond we share as mentor and apprentice...
Lark, I don't know if you'll read this, but I dearly wish you would remain immortal as you are to be with me, to see me get older and cheer me on in my own right! And I will cheer you on when you pass onto your next life!

"I-I-I-"
"How long has she been saying that?"
"Dunno, a while..."
"Think she passed?"
"I-I-I-"
"Yeah."
