For those of you who knew Gabriel, also called Loki? He's gone. For well over 48 hours now. [Balthazar's voice over the feed is a near-monotone, emotionless.

With him, that's never a good sign.]

He came back once before, but I'm not sure we'll be seeing him again this time around.

I just...thought someone ought to know.

[Someone other than the other angels, that is. He's sure they're as aware as he is. He's less sure whether he should seek them out to mourn. There's a long, quiet moment of static before the feed cuts.]

[ Given this place's track record, Balthazar's worry is perfectly understandable and justified.

But hope is good. Hold onto that! ]

Well, luckily for you, I just happen to be an excellent cuddler and a fabulous talker.

Two things we have in common! I'm in my room just now. Got a bit of wine if you want to share.

[There's a hint of a smile in his voice. He's going to take time recovering, but Donna is good at cheering him up.]

I'll be there in a few minutes - corridors willing.

[tryingitall]

Yell if you need help. I'm lazy, but I don't want you wandering about lost, either.

[ voice ]

[noblexcompanion]

I'm sure I'll find my way just fine.

I'll be waiting for you, love. Thank you.
