This is... not what I expected.

IT IS I!

[smiles.] We have our minds. We will be well.

[vampish_aleera]

I think it a lesson of whom we have loved, General! Would this be the answer to your own riddle?

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

[Without a whole lot of enthusiasm.]...Perhaps.

[vampish_aleera]

His decision clouded things...

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

[growls:] His decision was a

betrayal

.

[vampish_aleera]

I cannot think he had very much choice, General...

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

Even the

Romulans

would have been a

better

choice. They would betray us, but they would do it with

some

honour.

[vampish_aleera]

He did not wish your people to be crushed for the sake of war... Do not think so ill of the one whose face you now wear. When else did he portray himself as a villain? You respected, did you not?

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

I respected.

[vampish_aleera]

Then lose not the memory of this, Sir... Forgive him. He did nothing in spite.

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

I cannot.

[vampish_aleera]

But, Sir... How else would he know you loved him?

How would he know... You cared?

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

He is not here.



He knows his... value. I would not be angry if he did not matter.

[vampish_aleera]

But perhaps, even now, he finds himself wearing your face as you wear his!

Think upon it, General! Dwell upon the question!

How did he know that you loved him? How did he know that you loved him? How did he know that you really, really, truly loved him?

It's not enough to take the one you love for granted! You must remind him or he would be inclined to say...

"How do I know he loves me...? How do I know he is mine?!"

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

Bah! I fought his battles for him! Took his commands without question, destroyed his enemies, served as council, his

cha'Dich

!

[vampish_aleera]

But did you leave written notes to tell him he was on your mind? Send him yellow flowers when the sky is grey?

Did you find new ways to show him more, each day?

This is how you know, General! How he would know you loved!

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

He was not my

par'Mach'kai

! It is not for me to

woo

him!

[vampish_aleera]

He is sad you love him no more... Why must you make poor Gorkon sad, General?

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

Gorkon had a wife and offspring. He is not sad.

[vampish_aleera]

No! He is! He is sad for his friend no longer caring!

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

That is not my concern.

[vampish_aleera]

It should be...

[general-chang.livejournal.com]

It is not.

[vampish_aleera]

Sad Gorkon...
