I know there has been a lot going on and the strange messages on the network...

[It was easier for him try to ignore the matter of creepy guy torturing people on the network and the incident in the park. ]

But I wonder has everyone who went to the battle managed to return by now? There will be no more trains?

I ask because I have not see Rapunzel since then. Did the Giants maybe take any prisoners? I hope not... but she has not been back to the God house. I did find some of her painting equipment that seems to be addressed to myself and Alice. I wonder, do you think that means she may have returned home?

That is an excellent idea! I will try that.

[In a moment. Discovering the answer was nessacary but it would be sad to confirm she was actually gone. ]

Have you, well if you have been here any amount of time I am sure you have but, has anyone you know suddenly disappeared from Asgard like this?

[She nods.]

So far no one close to me, but I did notice people randomly disappear at times, without any apparent reason. It seems most times they get sent home.

That is the case, at least as far as we are told. I have never seen a reason to doubt the Gods in this since others who have left and returned have said it was true.

You think I would be used to this after it has happened so many times before but it is... still a shock when it happens.

[Gaia sees many reasons to doubt the gods in mostly everything, but this guy is right.]

Yeah, well... I just hope your friend is safely at home.

[She offers him a sad smile.] I guess it always makes us sad to see someone we care about go. Even if we know they might be safer at home.

[He nodded. It was better for her at home... and she had to be safer there, surely?]

It is easy to take people for granted when they are here, when they are gone you suddenly realize how much they really meant. It is only too bad we must discover that after it is too late to say anything to them.

[applegoddess]

Yeah, but I guess that's usually a part of life we can't avoid... We just have to make sure to the others how much they mean to us while they're close, right?

[true_renaissance_man]

[Again there was that slow nod. There wasn't much to be done about it now.]

Hopefully I remembered to tell her enough.

{ video }

[applegoddess]

[Not that she will remember it, but she won't tell him that.]

I'm sure she was happy to be your friend, if you worry that much for her.
