"I'll be fine, Father," Sunniva said gently, reaching for his forearm to give it a squeeze, "Thank you for all you've done for me. Tell Titus goodbye and I hope to meet him some day again soon," She smiled and was slowly guided away, her fingers not leaving Mercuxio's arm until she was too far away to reach. Sunniva's chest ached and she quickly moved her hand to her neck, hating the strange hollow feeling there. They were never going to meet again and it pained her to think, but it was probably for the best.

Finally, at the last minute she turned around, smiling sadly and waving "Good luck on your journey, I wish every happiness to your future!"
