She did not have flowers like the winged serval, but she did hold onto a picture. It was a gift she had been meaning to give to Maes, but she had never found the time. Now, she knew she would never get the chance. A frown tugged at her lips as she stepped forward, sitting the picture against his urn. Two figures were captured in the photograph - Maes and Roy, both grinning in an candid moment inside the Observatory. She had given Roy a matching one when she spoke with the bobcat after he had discovered Maes' body.

The Ecliptic Admiral moved then to stand beside Roy, pressing herself gently into his side in order to offer some comfort. "His urn's beautiful, Roy," she murmured, now finding it within herself to move her eyes to look upon him. She wasn't sure if her heart could take all that emotion in one moment. "May he find peace," Suiteheart echoed Lunafreya, now moving baby blue eyes to look upon Roy.

Flash images passed through her mind. She remembered spin the bottle with Maes, Roy, Margaery, and Lunafreya. She recalled those hilarious and embarrassing moments with ease. Friends became a little closer that night, she knew with bittersweet amusement. She remembered laughing as Maes gave Roy a fireman's hat, calling him the Ascendants own fireman. He'd placed it on Roy's head himself, if she were thinking correctly. She smiled sadly, fighting back tears. God, she was going to miss Maes a lot.
