Two Great Lights

It was almost too odd to be here at Sword & Cross without Lucinda, and to be burying a girl he had never truly known besides the fact she was Luce's closest friend in this life. Gabbe and Arriane stood at his sides and helped lay the girl down in the white satin sheet. They didn't have enough time to go find a coffin for her, so they had to go with a blanket. Daniel stared down at the girl as she was laid on the sheet,a somber look rested in his eyes. Gabbe had taken good care of Penn's body before laying her here, even somehow retrieved a small jewelry box for some of her things. She wore a blue sundress that belonged to Gabbe and her hair was tied with a simple white ribbon, her glasses tucked away in the box and her eyes peacefully closed. Daniel then arose to his feet and looked between Gabbe and Arriane before closing his hands in front of him and whispered a small pray before he concluded with a gentle thank you.

"And, thank you. For caring for her when I couldn't - Or wouldn't't. Your soul will find peace in Heaven, I'm certain." Daniel murmured and laid a simple rose between her hands. With the help of Arriane and Gabbe, they began to pile the dirt back upon her, hiding hr body before Arriane stuck a stick made cross at the top of the grave and gave a small apology before she rose to her feet.

An eerie silence swept over the cemetery, Daniel's head hung and his his eyes closed. That familiar mournful feel swept over him, that same ache that had filled him when he had attended Todd's memorial. Sure, it wasn't his fault - Not as Todd's death was - But it still affected him. Maybe it was because she was so close to Luce, perhaps her emotions for Penn had somehow affected him.

"We need to get going, Daniel." Arriane whispered to him, her hand placed on his shoulder. "You've got things to do, remember?"

Daniel nodded, remembering that he had to settle the truce tonight with Cam. Officially. They had to work together again, eighteen days was all the time they could actually offer each other. And with that that time, he had to protect Luce all he could.

But there was a feeling inside of him, that something soon was bound to happen, something that Daniel wasn't ready for quite yet - But, that he was, and that he could do it.
