Farewells

[can_not_fly]

[Well, time for another goodbye. Pit is there, grabbing everything they're going to be taking with them, trying very hard to keep a stuff upper lip and smile for everyone - and failing. His goddess floats around, noticeably more calm, with a pleasant smile. All's end that ends well, after all.]

It has been a pleasure. You all are the kind of humans you only find once every few millenia.
Well, guys... [Pit's voice fails for a moment] it-it's time for goodbye. Lady Palutena says she doesn't know how long it... it will be until she can open another portal. So it's goodbye for a long time. [Pit clearly has prepared this beforehand. That's not how he usually speaks] It's, it's been really fun, and... I'll miss you all. Please take care, okay?
Oh boo hoo. [And here's Viridi for the mood breaker] It's not like they're all going to die or anything. This is your stupid happy ending you fought so hard for, Pit! At least have the decency to look happy!
Shut up, Viridi! Don't you have any feelings?!
What, for leaving this pack of losers? No way.
Is that why you spent almost all your remaining power to help their planet before we went? It's going to take you centuries to be back in full shape after all those stunts, you know.
SHUT UP!

[Pit manages to laugh a bit through the tears. Still, he probably could do with a goodbye hug or twelve. Want to help?]

It's from Setsuna. He told me he couldn't deliver it himself due to... personal reasons. [I think we both know what he means by that.]

That is interesting. I wonder what last attempt he'll make. Do hand it to me, please

[The letter is given to Palutena, and it reads as thus.]

To Palutena,
I apologize for not being able to see you and Pit off. As you know, my joke to Viridi was made with dire consequences, and I have decided to sequester myself away to an undisclosed location until such a time that I feel safe. Regardless, my time with you and Pit has shown me that even if this world has no God, Gods do exist. Ribbons Almark believed himself to be Godlike, as an Innovator, even if he was just an Innovade. I do not believe that Innovators will be the equivalent of Gods, and feel as though Ribbons 'approach' to Godhood is flawed in the face of what I've seen in your world. As such, even if I become something that is inheritly 'Not Human', I shall strive to ground myself in humanity, so I do not lose touch with who I used to be.

Please commit this letter to memory and destroy it so that Viridi cannot use it against me. I shall visit when I feel it to be possible.

Setsuna F. Seiei

*snrk*

[...and her reaction is to snort and take her hand to her mouth to cover a contained laugh]
