I'll come to thee by moonlight.

"...though hell should bar the way." I remember the last time a man said that to me.

[For certain definitions of "man".]

[i-amunclean.livejournal.com]

I take it that it wasn't pleasant?

[rebutle.livejournal.com]

He came for me by moonlight, alright.

[i-amunclean.livejournal.com]

...As did mine.

[rebutle.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. Are you...alright?

[i-amunclean.livejournal.com]

As good as I shall ever be; truly, I'm well.

[rebutle.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear that.

[She nods, offering a faint ghost of a smile.]

( Mina returns the same. )

And you?

[rebutle.livejournal.com]

I'm coping.

[That's about as well as she can do so far.]

[i-amunclean.livejournal.com]

Truly? It's the only thing we can do. There will always be terrors in the night, when we close our eyes, but as long as we have faith? Then we shall overcome.

[rebutle.livejournal.com]

Faith? An interesting word. Do you mean in God, in particular?

[i-amunclean.livejournal.com]

Mayhaps, or perhaps faith in oneself.

[rebutle.livejournal.com]

Faith that whatever happens, the universe will still contain beauty. Faith in time to continue onward.

[i-amunclean.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

[prince-traitor.livejournal.com]

Everything looks much prettier by moonlight.

[i-amunclean.livejournal.com]

Is that so?
