If you would like to leave a message, you may do so here. I can't promise to respond. I have many demands on my time, and this sort of thing is far down the list. Still, if you would like to, you may.

What would have to happen to make you not able?

[There's genuine concern in her face and in her voice. For his sake (she doesn't want him to get hurt, not when he hasn't really done anything wrong, not on purpose) and everyone else's (losing people is hard, but knowing they'll come back helps ease the ache a little while you wait).]

Haven't had much time to get to know 'im, but his name sure says a lot. Delight's lovely, though. Talked to her, liked her a lot. Think I'll go check up on her later.

[lingeringhope]

If I die or am seriously injured, I will be far less effective.

Delight is always a pleasure to have around.

[avephoenix]

Then we'll have to make sure you're not either of those!

[A firm nod. Faith will fight for you, Hope. Alternatively, she will hold your flower.]

You're not so bad yourself, y'know? You're a bit serious, but that's not a bad thing. Every group o' friends needs a serious one!

[Guess which one Faith isn't.]

[lingeringhope]

I don't know if I would call us a group of friends, but I suppose that's true. However, I would say Sorrow is far more serious than I am.

[Faith shrugs. Friends, frenemies. Whichever.]

Haven't really met 'im yet. Maybe I'll stop by his temple next! Can't imagine he wants to be sad, even if his name's Sorrow.

[Faith, that's-- that's not really how it works...? Is it? She has no idea.]

[lingeringhope]

We don't embody the emotions that power us. I am not constantly hopeful, for example. Sorrow is not constantly sad. We simply prefer it if you are hopeful or sad.

Gotcha! [She gives him a salute.] Anyway, I'm off. Just wanted to say thanks. You're a good one, Hope.

[Then, with a wave and a grin, she signs off and heads out.]
