[After speaking with John about his death penalty, Saleh decides to leave a little warning that he'll be unavailable for a while. He's just not sure when.]

This New Feather cycle should be ending soon, if it hasn't ended already. I'll leave notice that I may be absent for some time fairly soon.

Rydia, do you have a moment?

Of course! If you need me in person, you can visit my house or I can meet you wherever you wish.

Hmm...it doesn't necessarily have to be in person, but it's not something I'd want to speak of publicly either...

[Voice/Filtered]

[mistlegacy]

Ah, I see.

...alright, it's private now. What is it, Saleh?

All right...

[A deep breath.]

I've...made an arrangement with John to have my death penalty removed.

[She's silent for a moment, then--]

When will this be? And do you want me to pick you up when you're sent back?

I'm...not sure. I'll try to contact you when I return, if I am able. I don't know what condition people are in when they return from these. You can pass it on to Kain and Ceodore, if you'd like.

Speaking as someone's who's been through that, I'd expect your return to be less than comfortable. But then again, it depends on the person and what's taken from them.

I'll do so, of course.

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

Ah...I expected as such as well. That's why I wanted you to be aware.

Thank you.

You're welcome. I'm sure you'll be fine, Saleh. We'll look out for you.
