Etharion Steps Down ((Chat Logs))

19:47:30 Jocastia salutes you with respect.

19:47:31 Brommidor salutes you with respect.

19:47:34 You stand at attention and salute.

19:47:35 Silverglaive salutes you with respect.

19:47:37 Artec salutes you with respect.

19:47:37 Davvì salutes you with respect.

19:47:39 Mindspanner-WyrmrestAccord nods.

19:47:40 Folcan salutes you with respect.

19:47:42 [Silverglaive-WyrmrestAccord]: It's good to see you.

19:47:43 Mindspanner salutes you with respect.

19:47:43 You stand at attention and salute.

19:47:47 Shayolath salutes you with respect.

19:47:54 Roiya salutes you with respect.

19:48:00 Zerov salutes Dusty with respect.

19:48:03 Izarre-WyrmrestAccord does her salute attempt at Eth,

19:48:13 Skybrooke-WyrmrestAccord stands, stumbling slightly before gaining her footing.

19:48:16 Skybrooke salutes you with respect.

19:48:22 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord ||  Dusty lines up beside Eth; Eth returns salutes, and then sinks his fingers into Dusty's mane as if for comfort.

19:48:38 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord wanders over, crouching for a moment to give Dusty a good scritch.

19:48:51 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: It's very strange.  In a way I'm relieved and yet I'm sad as well.

19:48:54 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord stands as absolutely tall and straight as she possibly can, very nearly standing on her tip-toes as Etharion strides to the fore. She offers the Kaldorei man what may be the salutiest salute a Gnome has ever performed.

19:49:30 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord smiles brightly at Davvi and returns her salute sharply.

19:49:40 Izarre-WyrmrestAccord looks at Sky and smiles faintly before whispering "You is look like dreadful dear."

19:50:22 [Shayolath-WyrmrestAccord]: Glad to see us all together safe, if a bit beaten up.

19:50:23 Skybrooke-WyrmrestAccord smirks, trying to match Iz's volume. "You look good, too."

19:50:30 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord seems put a little more at ease by Eth's smile, and returns it.

19:51:01 Artec-WyrmrestAccord glances over her shoulder and gives the line of Servitors a silent stare. She slowly shifts back.

19:51:08 Izarre-WyrmrestAccord reaches to her side and takes Sky's hand giving it a weak squeeze.

19:51:25 Silverglaive-WyrmrestAccord feels he should shuffle over to the rest and leave the OFFICER LINE to them.

19:51:38 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Some of you might not know the story, but it was Davvi I served under, working on my Sergeant's promotional task.

19:51:53 Skybrooke-WyrmrestAccord returns the gesture.

19:51:54 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Was it Sergeant?  Or was it Marshal?  I...I can't remember, Davvi.

19:52:06 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord smiles crookedly.  "Seems that was a long time ago."

19:52:07 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord stands up even taller now, most definitely on her tip-toes!

19:52:11 [Davvì-WyrmrestAccord]: Sergeant!

19:52:15 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord she pipes!

19:52:17 Brommidor-WyrmrestAccord chuckles softly at Eth's recollection.

19:52:19 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: It was in Stonetalon Mountains....

19:52:33 Zerov-WyrmrestAccord listens quietly, moving to clasp his hands behind his back.

19:52:34 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: And remember how we got bespelled by those Highborne ghosts and fell asleep...

19:53:13 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord nods and adjusts her goggles.

19:53:31 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord chuckles.  "Redd got on the Comm and bellowed the most amazing drill sergeant abuse at us until we woke up and got out of there."

19:54:15 [Davvì-WyrmrestAccord]: It's true!

19:54:24 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord says, before she figures she should be quiet and listen.

19:54:46 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord strokes Dusty's mane.  "I know it's a bit out of protocol to have Dusty here in line, but he's a Servitor too."

19:55:02 Jocastia points at Üther.

19:55:08 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord grins at Uther.

19:55:15 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Uther's special though.

19:55:34 Daekyn greets everyone with a hearty hello!

19:55:34 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Uther will always be.

19:55:39 You greet Daekyn warmly.

19:55:41 Daekyn waves goodbye to everyone.  Farewell!

19:55:49 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord grins.

19:56:03 Nelmadge-WyrmrestAccord runs up to the gathering, she slips in next to Davvi.

19:56:12 You wave at Nelmadge.

19:56:18 Nelmadge waves at you.

19:56:21 Izarre-WyrmrestAccord smiles at Nel.

19:56:38 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Nel.  I remember you ran into us at our Winter's Veil party, outside Ironforge.

19:56:55 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord smiles at Nel.

            19:57:33 Nelmadge-WyrmrestAccord laughs and reaches up, rubbing the back of her head. "Yeah! I remember that, crashed the party and I've stuck around since."

19:57:48 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord grins.

19:58:10 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: And you did that somersault on one of your first missions with us and jumped on top of Prikka's head.

19:58:15 Beyarma stands at attention and salutes.

19:58:18 Mindspanner salutes Beyarma with respect.

19:58:20 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord shifts and squirms in place, adjusting her goggles once again.

19:58:24 You salute Beyarma with respect.

19:58:24 Brommidor salutes Beyarma with respect.

19:58:50 Roiya salutes Beyarma with respect.

19:59:01 Nelmadge-WyrmrestAccord smirks, blushing slightly. "Yeah, I sometimes have trouble with my landings."

19:59:04 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: And Bey.  Bey snuck into a Kor'kron prison camp in the shape of a mouse, so she could get in contact with our people who were prisoners there.

19:59:52 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Izzy.

20:00:16 Izarre-WyrmrestAccord looks up from the spot she was kinda staring at on the ground.

20:01:16 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord smiles broadly.  "I don't know where to start.  So many memories, and not enough.  I think one of my favorites is the bow you made for me though."

20:01:59 Izarre-WyrmrestAccord throws Eth a wink. "Also has new arrows for it too."

20:02:07 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: And how kind you were to Masana.  She had a hard time being accepted by other draenei but you made her feel at home.

20:02:22 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Sky?  I'm glad you're back from the dead.

20:02:37 Skybrooke-WyrmrestAccord blushes slightly.

20:02:39 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord grins from ear to ear, wiping his eyes a bit.

20:03:10 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: We've had a few back from the dead surprises among the Servitors but yours was one of the best.

20:03:38 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord lets out an almost inaudible sniffle. Almost. She tugs at her goggles again.

20:03:56 [Skybrooke-WyrmrestAccord]: ... Thank you, sir.

20:04:23 [Izarre-WyrmrestAccord]: I favorite was when you shooted your foot with trap, Ser.

20:04:30 Izarre-WyrmrestAccord gives a grin.

20:04:32 Mindspanner-WyrmrestAccord nods in agreement.

20:04:40 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord smirks.

20:04:50 [Roiya-WyrmrestAccord]: Oh goddess.  The ice trap.

20:04:58 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord laughs heartily.  "I will never live that one down.  And hopefully never will.  Remember that one and tell the story to other servitors."

20:05:01 Folcan-WyrmrestAccord chuckles softly.

20:05:03 [Roiya-WyrmrestAccord]: And then our wholly ineffectual flailing in attempts to get you OUT of that trap.

20:05:37 Izarre-WyrmrestAccord smiles "It a classic."

20:05:43 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: I couldn't see much.  My perspective was somewhat limited, of course.

20:06:11 [Brommidor-WyrmrestAccord]: Never thought ye'd get ter be an icicle, aye?

20:06:17 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Never.

20:06:35 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord reaches up to her temple, looks mildly confused for a moment, and puts her hand back down deciding instead to fidget with her wedding band.

20:06:39 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Folcan, you've done so much for us but what sticks out in my mind the most is your work on the Lightforge.

20:06:39 Brommidor-WyrmrestAccord chuckles and wink. Then glances at Davvi.

20:06:55 Folcan-WyrmrestAccord shakes his head, "Just doing my part, Sir."

20:07:23 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Nevertheless, you took great risk and it was a tremendous accomplishment.

20:07:48 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Shay, you are my favorite Demon Hunter.  And I say this now knowing my own father is one.

20:07:56 Folcan-WyrmrestAccord looks at Zerov's sword, smiling.

20:08:11 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: We are richer and stronger for having you in our number.

20:08:16 Shayolath-WyrmrestAccord chuckles. "Honored, sir. Thank you for making me feel welcome here."

20:09:46 Izarre pokes Nelmadge.  Hey!

20:09:50 Davvì waves at Nelmadge.

20:14:03 You cheer!

20:16:10 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Seda, the Servitors were founded by a Knight of Acherus.  We have a long history of Knights who served honorably with us, but you outstrip them all.

20:16:33 Nelmadge-WyrmrestAccord leans over and gives Seda a thumbs up.

20:16:51 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Cere...

20:17:00 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord grins at Cere.

20:17:26 Silverglaive-WyrmrestAccord l Is that a smile? Yep. He's got a little bit of a grin going there. Someone take a picture.

20:17:44 Artec-WyrmrestAccord adjusts a dial. She bows her head appreciatively, but her smile is masked.

20:18:06 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: I know I said Shay is my favorite Demon Hunter.  I knew you before you sought them out, so sometimes it's hard for me to remember.

20:18:22 Skybrooke-WyrmrestAccord struggles to maintain her composure.

20:18:26 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord shifts her weight awkwardly from foot to foot, letting out another more-audible sniffle.

20:19:22 Izarre-WyrmrestAccord gives Sky -the- smile.

20:19:24 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord pushes back her hood, her expression softening.

20:19:48 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: You've been with us through so much, and I don't think of you as an ex-druid or a Demon Hunter but a friend.

20:20:07 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord peeks down the line at Cere.

20:20:12 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: And speaking of friends....

20:20:16 Silverglaive-WyrmrestAccord shifts from foot to foot awkwardly, he voices a soft "Thank you, my friend. " in Darnassian.

20:20:29 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Fro, you're like the little brother I wish I'd had.

20:20:44 Skybrooke-WyrmrestAccord gives Iz's hand another squeeze.  Boy is she glad Iz is here.

20:20:46 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Jo...

20:20:55 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord wipes his eyes.

20:20:55 Beyarma-WyrmrestAccord glances down the line to Jo

20:21:01 Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord waves dismissively. "Oh hush, you do have me."

20:21:07 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Jo gave me my first mission with the Servitors.

20:21:30 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord grins broadly.

20:21:32 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: If I went over all my memories about Jo, we'd be here all night.

20:21:34 Izarre-WyrmrestAccord smiles that "it's going to be okay" smile mothers have and squeezes.

20:22:10 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord smiles over at Taldin, who is totally here.

20:23:07 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Taldin, I don't care if you're casting spells or sneaking about, I am glad you're one of us.

20:23:41 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord takes a shaky breath and wipes his eyes quickly.

20:23:55 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord lets out what might best be described as a "strangled snork" and she raise both hands to her goggles, covering their lenses.

20:23:55 Beyarma-WyrmrestAccord shoots Eth a shaky little smile.

20:23:58 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Bromm.

20:24:26 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: You and Davvi and Jo are the original Servitors still standing, as far as I'm concerned.

20:24:33 Nelmadge-WyrmrestAccord reaches over and pats Davvi on the shoulder.

20:24:37 Zerov-WyrmrestAccord shifts quietly in place, his gaze remaining focused on Eth as he speaks.

20:24:48 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord inclines her head slightly, a sad smile on her face.

20:25:02 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Carry on our traditions and stories and memories.

20:25:06 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord chews her lip.

20:25:16 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: I remember how kind and friendly and welcoming you were, when I first joined.

20:25:23 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord murmurs... something... in support of Eth's statement as she nods vigorously, hands still over her goggles.

20:25:45 Brommidor-WyrmrestAccord smiles back at Eth, eyes watering.

20:25:59 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: You...embody the virtues of our order.  Strength, courage, and compassion.

20:26:21 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: M...

20:26:39 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord wipes her sleeve over her face. Gross.

20:26:44 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: I liked you from the first, although I admit I wasn't quite sure what to make of you back then.

20:26:54 Beyarma-WyrmrestAccord swipes the edge of a hand swiftly across her eyes with a tiny sniff. Goshdarnit, all this gushyness is making HER cry a little, thanks guys.

20:27:45 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord steps forward to scoop up Uther and wipe her eyes on his fur.

20:28:16 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Now I know.  I know your courage, your sacrifice, your willingness to make hard choices and what I find most admirable is your compassion.

20:29:11 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord reaches down to scritch Dusty's ears.  Her eyes might be a little misty, but she's still holding it together--for the moment.

20:29:29 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: I trust that compassion and strength and cunning  to help lead the Servitors against upcoming challenges.

20:30:22 Mindspanner-WyrmrestAccord bows her head, trying to press her tabard remnants more in place.

20:30:30 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Roiya.

20:30:56 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: You've put up with a very young, very volatile and uncertain elf.

20:30:58 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord grins.

20:31:06 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord smiles crookedly.

20:31:46 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord is sniffling and snortling significantly now, armor rattling softly.

20:31:48 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: You have the kindness and wisdom of a mother, and the experience and diligence of a leader.

20:32:19 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: From a personal standpoint I have to say thank you for all the times you've listened to me whine.

20:32:27 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord grins and wipes his eyes agin.

20:32:50 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord lets out a sound that might be a strangled laugh, though one mingled with some other emotions.

20:32:53 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord reaches down and ruffles Dusty's mane.

20:33:04 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Some of you might not know the story of how I joined the Servitors.

20:33:10 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: I'll try to be brief.

20:33:28 Jocastia nods at Sabraine.

20:33:53 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: I was looking for a job, basically.  Steady work.  My friend Theo Wynchester, a Knight of the Ebon Blade, knew Philomene Asteris and knew she'd taken over the Servitors.  He suggested I write to them.

20:34:10 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Which I did.  And then I traveled to the Hinterlands, just exploring.

20:34:44 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: I wandered into Aerie Peak and into Truk's bar, where I found some Servitors, including Mena.  Only I didn't know who they were.

20:34:52 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: I offered to buy them drinks.

20:35:08 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord laughs, his ears turning a bit purple.

20:35:20 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord might remember this.

20:35:32 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: At that point in my life I tried to make friends with everyone and thought the best way to do it was to offer to buy drinks.

20:36:01 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Anyway we were talking and I told them who I was and how I was looking for the Servitors.  Mena said, "You found us.  How about we do your interview now?"

20:36:18 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord smirks. She does remember this.

20:36:20 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: In the silence that followed, I swear you could hear my balls screaming as they ran for the safety of my lower abdomen.

20:36:35 Folcan-WyrmrestAccord snorts

20:36:40 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord snickers.

20:36:47 Brommidor-WyrmrestAccord chortles.

20:36:52 Zerov-WyrmrestAccord smiles.

20:36:52 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: But obviously I survived the interview.

20:37:13 Nelmadge-WyrmrestAccord smirks.

20:37:16 Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord barely holds his laughter.

20:38:05 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord grins and shakes his head.  "I never wanted to be the Commander, never planned on it.  But it's the way things worked out.  Yesterday I wrote in my journal that maybe I'm not a born Commander, but I was the right person for the job at the time."

20:38:18 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: And make no mistake...at the time, we were dying.

20:38:36 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord sniffs. Is that a candy cane?

20:38:48 Izarre-WyrmrestAccord knows the feeling.

20:38:50 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: We were down to a quarter strength and we'd just been cut off from the Alliance military, no longer the 423rd Special Operations Group.

20:39:31 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Graymind, when she handed it over to me, basically said my job was to oversee an orderly draw down and disbanding.

20:39:57 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord keeps standing up straight and tall, but her head is bowed and her face is in her hands.

20:40:01 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: When I spoke with the Servitors who remained, they wanted to continue.  So that's what we did.

20:40:28 Nelmadge-WyrmrestAccord looks over at Davvi, giving her another pat on the shoulder.

20:40:29 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Today we are stronger than ever.  I think we have more active duty members than at any time in our history.

20:40:49 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord glances to Jo.  "Although some of our older members could probably correct me if I'm wrong on that."

20:41:05 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord shakes her head and gives Eth a thumbs up.

20:41:15 Skybrooke-WyrmrestAccord reaches down and pats Davvi's shoulder.

20:41:45 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: We believed in the Servitors of Lothar.  We believed in our mission to defend Azeroth and its people.  We believed in Strength, Courage, and Compassion.

20:41:56 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Hold on to that, going forward.

20:42:20 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord dabs at her eyes discreetly.

20:42:22 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Things are going to be different.

20:42:41 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: We will be led by three, not one.

20:42:59 Izarre-WyrmrestAccord gives a nods, breathing deep.

20:43:33 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: In some ways this will make things easier, in other ways it will be a challenge, and in many ways things will stay the same.

20:43:55 Beyarma-WyrmrestAccord dabs at her eyes again and draws a shuddery little breath.

20:44:04 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: You know I've tried to lead by example.  But in recent months, I haven't been doing that.  It's time for me to move on.

20:44:32 Nelmadge-WyrmrestAccord nods listening carefully.

20:45:00 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord lets out a choked and decidedly un-comical sob.

20:45:02 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: But I'm moving on, confident that you all will carry on Lothar's legacy with honor.

20:45:19 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Don't worry though.

20:45:28 Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord seems to be in deep thought, looking at Etharion.

20:45:35 Shayolath-WyrmrestAccord blinks a bit a she realizes what's going on, looking around and mouthing a soft 'oh'

20:45:42 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord looks at Eth.  Her eyes are glimmering.

20:45:44 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord coughs, rubbing her eyes with one hand.

20:45:52 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: I'll bring baked goods to the mess every week.  And maybe drop in to cook dinner for everyone.

20:46:21 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord looks back and forth between Bromm, M, and Roiya.

20:46:22 Izarre-WyrmrestAccord gives a thumbs up. Company.

20:46:32 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Normally this is the part where I ask you all if you're willing to serve.

20:46:41 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: But you've already proven that you are.

20:46:41 Silverglaive-WyrmrestAccord smirks a bit at that. " You still owe me that tea. " He says faintly.

20:46:59 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord smiles weakly.

20:47:02 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord grins at Cere.  "We'll do tea soon."

20:47:06 [Skybrooke-WyrmrestAccord]: Make sure you bring your kimchi.

20:47:07 [Roiya-WyrmrestAccord]: You'll always be one of us, Etharion.

20:47:15 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord tugs his tabard off.

20:47:27 Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord lets out an involuntary gasp.

20:47:35 Mindspanner-WyrmrestAccord nudges the ground briefly. Was that an emotion?

20:47:36 Izarre-WyrmrestAccord lets out a little whimper.

20:47:45 Nelmadge-WyrmrestAccord frowns and crosses her arms.

20:47:58 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord removes his signet ring and aiguillette.  He folds his tabard.  Removes his comm and places it on the tabard.

20:47:59 Brommidor-WyrmrestAccord 's cheerful cheeks slump a bit.

20:48:05 Folcan-WyrmrestAccord sighs softly and deeply.

20:48:12 Zerov-WyrmrestAccord remains silent, his brow furrowing slightly.

20:48:12 Artec-WyrmrestAccord dips her head. Its about all she can manage there.

20:48:28 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord hands his tabard to Roiya.

20:48:28 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord sniffles loudly.

20:48:34 Beyarma-WyrmrestAccord 's lip quivers.

20:48:37 Skybrooke salutes you with respect.

20:48:43 Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord takes a deep, shaky breath.

20:48:44 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord raises her head and stands up super straight and super tall, pushing her goggles up onto her forehead. Releasing all the tears that filled them up behind their lenses. The Gnome screws her face up to try and buck up!

20:48:46 Shayolath salutes you with respect.

20:48:52 Beyarma salutes you with respect.

20:48:57 Jocastia salutes you with respect.

20:48:59 Artec salutes you with respect.

20:49:00 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Servitors, it's been an honor and a privelige.

20:49:00 Zerov salutes you with respect.

20:49:00 Mindspanner salutes you with respect.

20:49:00 Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord salutes Etharion, the most formal salute he's ever put effort into.

20:49:02 You stand at attention and salute.

20:49:07 Folcan salutes you with respect.

20:49:07 Nelmadge salutes you with respect.

20:49:08 Silverglaive salutes you with respect.

20:49:09 Davvì salutes you with respect.

20:49:13 Brommidor salutes you with respect.

20:49:22 [Nelmadge-WyrmrestAccord]: It's been an honour to serve under you!

20:49:26 [Artec-WyrmrestAccord]: It has been an honor to serve under your command.

20:49:28 Nelmadge-WyrmrestAccord can't stop herself from speaking up.,

20:49:38 Nelmadge-WyrmrestAccord starts a slow clap.

20:49:41 Izarre-WyrmrestAccord sets her crutches down and stands giving as proper a salute as she can. "And with you Ser."

20:49:55 [Beyarma-WyrmrestAccord]: It's been an honor, sir.

20:50:09 [Shayolath-WyrmrestAccord]: It's been an honor for me too, sir.

20:50:12 [Skybrooke-WyrmrestAccord]: Thank you for everything, sir.

20:50:15 [Zerov-WyrmrestAccord]: It has been an honor.

20:50:15 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord returns all the salutes, and then has to wipe his eyes.  A lot.

20:50:22 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: You all know where I live.

20:50:55 Skybrooke-WyrmrestAccord has no idea where Eth lives.

20:50:59 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord opens her mouth... and blubbery nonsense falls out before she claps it shut again and lets out a loud SNORK, sucking a snotcicle back in.

20:51:03 Artec-WyrmrestAccord can probably find out.

20:51:17 Skybrooke-WyrmrestAccord pats Davvi again.

20:51:43 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord pats Fro on the arm.

20:51:46 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord stares silently at the tabard in her hands.  She bites her lip, then picks up the COMM and hands it back to Eth.

20:51:49 [Roiya-WyrmrestAccord]: I meant it.

20:52:06 Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord salutes Etharion again.

20:52:17 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord looks at the comm in his hands in astonishment, and then he gasps and hugs Roiya in a most un-officerly way.

20:52:37 You hug Roiya.

20:52:41 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord smiles, hugging him back.  Is she crying?

20:52:45 You kneel before Mindspanner.

20:52:53 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Can I give a hug?

20:53:03 [Mindspanner-WyrmrestAccord]: Okay.

20:53:07 You hug Mindspanner.

20:53:12 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord smiles broadly again.

20:53:14 Mindspanner-WyrmrestAccord lightly pats Eth's leg in return.

20:53:29 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord clears her throat.

20:53:39 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord || Dusty head butts M affectionately.

20:53:41 [Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord]: Hi, Longears.

20:53:45 You kneel before Brommidor.

20:53:49 You hug Brommidor.

20:53:56 Mindspanner-WyrmrestAccord pets Dusty in return.

20:53:57 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord discreetly wipes her eyes again with the heel of her hand, trying to master herself.

20:54:03 Brommidor-WyrmrestAccord sniffs as he brings Eth in for a big ol' dorf hug.

20:54:06 Brommidor hugs you.

20:54:15 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Hugs for everyone.

20:54:23 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord lets out a weak little laugh.

20:54:24 You hug Beyarma.

20:54:25 Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord wipes his face with his tabard. "Ah man.."

20:54:28 Izarre-WyrmrestAccord smiles. Hugs are good.

20:54:30 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord laughs.

20:54:39 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: This is so different from Prikka's departure.

20:54:42 You hug Silverglaive.

20:54:43 [Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord]: I hafta say...

20:54:46 Beyarma-WyrmrestAccord breaks form and flings her arms around Eth, giving a tight squeeze.

20:54:52 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: She stripped naked and ran out of the Keep.

20:54:58 Artec-WyrmrestAccord 's port stares up at Eth. She holds her arms out. "Accept- what."

20:55:01 [Beyarma-WyrmrestAccord]: Be seein' you, yeah--wot.

20:55:01 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord squirms in place.

20:55:03 [Mindspanner-WyrmrestAccord]: Please remain clothed.

20:55:06 Beyarma blinks at you.

20:55:31 [Beyarma-WyrmrestAccord]: ...Fel. I always forget I weren't there for tha' one.

20:55:39 Artec-WyrmrestAccord 's arms sink down just a little as she is assailed with mental images, thanks to both Eth and M.

20:55:45 You kneel before Artec.

20:55:47 You hug Artec.

20:56:25 Artec-WyrmrestAccord returns the hug with a metal-clad one of her own. Its a bit chilly. She bobs her head back.

20:56:37 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Fro.

20:56:41 You hug Frovelos.

20:56:43 [Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord]: Commander.

20:56:55 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Not anymore!

20:56:55 Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord hugs Eth back, whispering something in his ear.

20:57:07 [Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord]: Years ago, I told Mena I'd follow her wherever she goes. But I stayed. And came back. And I was just as willing to tell you thae same. But here I am.

20:57:17 [Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord] whispers: You'll be the best father out there.

20:57:38 To [Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord]: That's the best thing anyone's ever said to me.

20:57:29 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord sniffles and hugs Fro harder.

20:57:31 [Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord]: I'm... so glad you kept the Servitors alive.

20:57:44 Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord pats Eth on the arm. "You know where to find us, Eth."

20:57:47 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Me too, Jo.

20:57:53 You hug Jocastia.

20:57:59 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord leans against Eth and hugs him in return.

20:58:23 You hug Shayolath.

20:58:28 Shayolath-WyrmrestAccord hugs back. "You gave me a home when I had none. I won't forget that. You gave me family when I had none, and I can't repay that."

20:58:38 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Pay it forward.

20:58:58 You hug Zerov.

20:59:11 Zerov-WyrmrestAccord smiles, returning the hug.

20:59:33 You hug Folcan.

20:59:39 Folcan hugs you.

20:59:45 [Folcan-WyrmrestAccord]: Take care, Etharion.

20:59:47 You hug Izarre.

20:59:48 Izarre-WyrmrestAccord hugs Eth as tight as she can,kisses his cheek and whispers something in his ear.

21:00:20 [Izarre-WyrmrestAccord] whispers: Find peace, Commandar, Ser.

21:00:33 To [Izarre-WyrmrestAccord]: I will try.

20:59:50 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Thanks.

21:00:07 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Ooof.  Love you too Izzy.

21:00:16 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord sounds a little strangled, but he's laughing too.

21:00:28 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord shifts and rocks side to side, back and forth, making little snortling, snurfling sounds, face all scrunched up.

21:00:33 Izarre-WyrmrestAccord Iz gives love.

21:00:46 You hug Skybrooke.

21:01:36 Skybrooke-WyrmrestAccord gives Eth as tight a squeeze as she can, disregarding what remains of her burns under the bandages.

21:01:41 You kneel before Davvì.

21:01:44 You hug Davvì.

21:01:56 Nelmadge-WyrmrestAccord moves over giving them space.

21:02:00 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord throws herself at Eth's, hugging him back very, very tightly.

21:02:10 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Now Davvi, you're one person I'm never worried about hugging.

21:02:34 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord says... something... about hugs, but it's muffled and sobbed.

21:03:12 You kneel before Nelmadge.

21:03:14 You hug Nelmadge.

21:03:16 Nelmadge-WyrmrestAccord smiles at Eth, her eyes shiny. "Saving the best hug for last, right?" She says as she leans in giving Etharion a TIGHT hug, lifting him slightly.

21:03:31 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Agh!  I forgot how strong you are!

21:03:34 [Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord]: ...Shit.

21:03:40 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord cries. She just does.

21:03:44 [Nelmadge-WyrmrestAccord]: Hah, sorry!

21:03:48 Nelmadge-WyrmrestAccord releases the night elf.

21:03:55 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord looks between Eth and the other officers.

21:04:00 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord pats Nel's shoulder, then reaches out to Davvi again.

21:04:03 You kneel down.

21:04:19 Izarre-WyrmrestAccord really wants to hug Davvi....but she would collapse...but she really does....dilemma.

21:04:21 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: C'mere Davvi, I don't want you to be sad.

21:04:25 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord throws herself at him again and hugs him just as tightly as she did before.

21:04:44 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Well, maybe a little sad, it can't be helped.

21:04:52 [Davvì-WyrmrestAccord]: IknowIshouldn'tbesadbutIamsad.

21:04:53 [Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord]: You went and made me an Advisor. That was thae whole plan wasn't it.

21:04:55 Nelmadge-WyrmrestAccord reaches up and rubs her nose slightly, looking downward watching the pair.

21:04:56 [Davvì-WyrmrestAccord]: Alittlesad...

21:05:10 Brommidor-WyrmrestAccord watches Davvi and Eth with a sad smile.

21:05:46 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord hugs. And hugs. And hugs.

21:06:21 Mindspanner shoos Crimson Pilgrim away. Be gone pest!

21:06:29 [Davvì-WyrmrestAccord]: I'llbeokay...

21:06:31 [Davvì-WyrmrestAccord]: Okay...

21:07:21 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord breaks rank. What is this, a unit meeting? We don't hug at meetings.

21:07:38 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord lets out a loooooong SNOOOOOORK and pulls back slightly, offering Eth a watery smile and a small thumb's-up that doesn't look entirely convincing.

21:08:10 Mindspanner-WyrmrestAccord wraps an arm around Jo's shoulder.

21:08:18 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord clutches Eth's tabard against her chest, the fingers of her free hand buried in Dusty's mane near his ears.

21:08:27 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord plops down next to M and leans against her. She pats Bromm too.

21:08:58 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: All right.  Time for me to get home to the husband and kids.

21:09:06 Brommidor-WyrmrestAccord looks down at Jo and rests a hand on her shoulder.

21:09:13 [Skybrooke-WyrmrestAccord]: See you soon, sir.

21:09:14 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord nods and rubs her eyes.

21:09:19 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: You will.  I promise.

21:09:26 [Shayolath-WyrmrestAccord]: Stay safe. If you get yourself hurt now that you're finally free I won't forgive you.

21:09:38 [Nelmadge-WyrmrestAccord]: See you around Etharion

21:09:38 [Zerov-WyrmrestAccord]: Have a safe trip back home.

21:09:42 Beyarma-WyrmrestAccord gives Eth a shaky but genuine smile. "Righ', mate. Go on."

21:09:43 [Artec-WyrmrestAccord]: Acknowledged. Safe travels. ...I look forward to seeing you again.

21:09:45 Davvì waves at you.

21:09:47 Artec-WyrmrestAccord dips her head once again.

21:09:53 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord goes for one last hug.

21:10:01 You hug Roiya.

21:10:10 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord hugs Roiya hard.

21:10:17 [Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord]: [Gnomish] Nagin ti nagin ti am cost hine danieb godling. Thrunon'gol.

21:10:42 [Roiya-WyrmrestAccord]: Don't you dare be a stranger.

21:10:46 [Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord]: Bring some kimchi over, too!

21:10:51 [Mindspanner-WyrmrestAccord]: Danavandar O helm am aldanoth mos buma Giz giz bur ga dumssi ti g gizber

21:11:04 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord smirks at M.

21:11:05 Mindspanner-WyrmrestAccord gestures to her tabard. It's mostly glued on.

21:11:09 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: I will come visit.  And I'll bring goodies.

21:11:16 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord nods.

21:11:26 [Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord]: Bring yourself. You're the goodie.

21:11:50 Folcan-WyrmrestAccord hoists a mostly passed-out Izarre in his arms, smiling. "Keep coming around, Eth.  We're going to miss you."

21:12:29 Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord reaches down and pets Uther.

21:15:05 [Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord]: Co-

21:15:10 Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord clears his throat. "Eth."

21:15:16 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord turns to Fro.

21:15:17 [Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord]: Can you promise me one thing please.

21:15:19 [Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord]: Call 'im Longears. He loves that, Fro.

21:15:24 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Of course.

21:15:24 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord quirks a brow at Fro.

21:15:25 [Mindspanner-WyrmrestAccord]: I G I

21:15:35 Mindspanner-WyrmrestAccord forgot to cycle languages, apparently.

21:15:39 [Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord]: Please let your husband cook. We can't have you touching knives.

21:15:48 Roiya-WyrmrestAccord chokes.

21:15:50 Beyarma-WyrmrestAccord shorts a laugh.

21:15:53 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord laughs.

21:15:54 Beyarma-WyrmrestAccord *snorts)

21:15:58 Brommidor-WyrmrestAccord chuckles softly.

21:16:06 [Roiya-WyrmrestAccord]: Fro, if he doesn't touch any knives, we don't get kimchii.

21:16:06 Zerov-WyrmrestAccord chuckles.

21:16:15 [Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord]: What a dilemma.

21:16:28 [Skybrooke-WyrmrestAccord]: I'll slice everything you put in front of me if it means more kimchi.

21:16:35 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord laughs.

21:16:38 [Roiya-WyrmrestAccord]: As long as he's not trying to melee the food, I think he'll be okay.

21:16:53 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord stands up straight and tall again as she can, still making funny little sad noises and seeming focused on holding herself together.

21:17:01 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: We'll do an assembly line in the kitchen.

21:17:01 Beyarma-WyrmrestAccord murmurs. "Jus' throw knives from afar. That oughter fix th' problem."

21:17:05 Folcan-WyrmrestAccord turns with Iz in his arms, nodding to Zerov. "Brother, good to see you.  Stop and see me soon, eh?"

21:17:10 Skybrooke nods at you.

21:17:20 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Thoran can cut the things, I'll season them, Essilte can cook them.

21:17:33 Etharion-WyrmrestAccord nods to Sky.

21:17:37 Nelmadge-WyrmrestAccord pats Davvi on the shoulder again. "Try and take a deep breath Davvi."

21:17:51 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord takes Nel's advice.

21:18:08 Zerov-WyrmrestAccord looks over to Folcan, nodding. "I'll be sure to when possible, don't worry."

21:18:09 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: I'd best head out now.  Goodnight everyone.

21:18:17 [Roiya-WyrmrestAccord]: Give my love to Thoran and the kids, okay?

21:18:28 [Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord]: Night, Eth. Say hi to the kids.

21:18:28 [Beyarma-WyrmrestAccord]: G'night, Eth. Take care out there.

21:18:32 [Shayolath-WyrmrestAccord]: G'night boss. Hug your kids for me

21:18:37 [Zerov-WyrmrestAccord]: Have a good night, Eth.

21:18:37 [Davvì-WyrmrestAccord]: GOODNIGHT ETH!!!

21:18:46 Davvì-WyrmrestAccord lets that held breath out all at once.

21:18:46 Skybrooke-WyrmrestAccord scoots in for one more hug.

21:18:51 [Mindspanner-WyrmrestAccord]: Have a pleasant evening, Longsight Eth. Eth.

21:18:51 [Brommidor-WyrmrestAccord]: Light be with you Etharion.

21:19:01 [Jocastia-WyrmrestAccord]: See y' 'round, Longears.

In /raid:

20:50:38 [Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord]: Eth..

20:50:59 [Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord]: Before we are done, I have to say this to you. I've been wanting to for years now.

20:51:28 [Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord]: You keep calling me a younger brother. Every time we get emotional.

20:51:37 [Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord]: That's wrong.

20:51:57 [Frovelos-WyrmrestAccord]: You've always been a father to me more than anything else.

20:52:30 [Etharion-WyrmrestAccord]: Okay Fro you are making me cry now!  LOL
