Seventh Dispatch - [voice]/[action]

[Horatio Hornblower's voice is very calm, very quiet. It sounds... not even curious. He is almost stating a fact, rather than asking a question.]

Lieutenant Bush's things are gone.

Why? What is the meaning of this?

[His housemates... will find him in his own room now, seated at his desk, the journal lying open in front of him-- if they dare disturb.]

That means he's been sent back to your world.

[Archie will be standing in the doorway of Horatio's room quietly, arms folded, leaning against the door frame until Horatio should notice him.]

[she doesn't try to comfort or cheer them up. Horatio had already been carrying too much weight on his shoulders before this and Archie...

Losing any of the people from his world would be like losing family. The true kind. And there wasn't a quick and easy comfort for that.

Instead, she just drops something off at their door. It's a small canvas, a 12x12 square from her pochade box. The product of two weeks of being bed ridden, she'd meant it as a small apology for the delay in finishing the mural...but it could serve a different purpose now. When they went out, they'd find a 64 gun ship riding the waves of a stormy sea.

A sticky note on the back just says "If you need to talk, you know where to find me."

It's not addressed to anyone in particular.]

It's generally assumed that means they've been sent back.

When a person's belongings disappear, it means that they are no longer in this world.

[The delivery of this is quiet, as if she's had to deliver this sort of statement before. Many times before.] I'm sorry.

[After all the initial truth in the replies, she'll pipe up with a quiet voice; she's had a lot of things on her mind lately, but this... Well, someone leaving must be a painful thing. She only hopes it hadn't happened to her already.]

I'm so sorry, Horatio-san. He was a friend from your world?

[Hello, peeping.]
