voice; a sad announcement

[lasergrenades]

[There is silence when the broadcast starts, interrupted only by several shaky breaths like whomever is there is trying not to cry. In making this announcement, Pepper is conceding to the reality of loss that has confronted her for four days. Her voice is small and full of sorrow when she finally manages to speak.]

Bakura's-- gone.

[They both knew they were living on borrowed time, that inevitably one of them would be bereft of the other. That doesn't make the grief any less painful. He's dead in his home world, and he may not come back as her Bakura if he ever returns.]

If-- if anyone sees him-- tell him to come home.

[OOC note: Fear not! Bakura is on Dreaming walkabout and will be back. Pepper of course does not know this.]

Y-Yeah, Yato... I hope the Dreaming just... sent him back. Not that he disappeared or anything. [ There's a hitch in her voice at 'disappear'. ]

Do you want me to bring over something to eat? Or drink? [ She's worried about Yato, but at the moment she's more worried about Pepper. She's clearly distressed, and the last time, when Ilda had been the one in distress, she'd come flying in her suit of armor. It's only fitting the blonde does the same, but since she doesn't have armor... food will have to do? ]

[And Pepper knows why that hitch is there. In the back of her mind, Yato disappearing because not enough people believed in or remembered him was always a concern. He hadn't seemed too worried, like he'd dealt with that problem long enough, but it would be hard to tell what happened in a place like this.]

Um, sure. [She's a social creature, and company won't hurt.] Whatever one of your favorite foods is. We've got a lot of tea here. [Pepper includes the address of the townhouse, which is in one of the less dense areas of the city, nearer the edge.]
