The Kiva, Pueblo Bonito

[Tenshu]

Xavier took the joint from Dr.Hodge and inhaled it deeply.

"..*cough* *cough!*...To Mal indeed."

Xavier proceeded to the window outlooking the system.
On Eris, Xavier could make out a number of violent storms that werent there before..

"Look...Eris is mourning"

Xavier then turned to Mnemosym.

"My Lady, my feelings right now are of both brief, pain and loss. The depth of these is
considerable and it will take me some time to recover..."

As if struck by his own words, Xavier slumps into an armchair and bows his head

"..Mal was the beacon that led me to the Goddess. In some ways he was the father of the man
I have become. I was devoid of purpose and direction when I wandered into Baffin, and he showed me
the way. Now that beacon is gone and my mind begins to cloud once again. It is unsettling.
The Trident is currently in a state of mourning as well. Every man woman and child is taking part
in a two day silence. The atmosphere is thick with grief.
Although my mind is clouded, time will heal this wound as it has all the others. I will take solace in the
Goddess as Mal taught me and move forward into the future. For now though the healing must happen on it's own."

Xavier raises his head to regard both the Doctor and Mnemosym directly.

"What of you both? How are you coping with the loss?"
