∞ 105: Gone before snowfall [action/voice]
[That morning, Albert notices something amiss on his way through the foyer -- Caesar's boots are not near the door. In the dining room, Kogoro's basket and toys are also missing. He stands there for a moment, then turns around and heads back to the hallway. There is no reason to knock on the door, so he enters Caesar's room without a word.
He blinks once at the bedspread that is far too neat, at the bookshelves that are far too bare.
Then he shuts the door and turns to leave, ignoring the growing ache in his left arm. He still had things he had to do.]
[After retrieving his horse from the stables, he rides over to the clinic to pick up Raine and bring her back to the house. Then he's back in the room, assessing what's been left behind for several minutes before opening up his journal to speak.]
Caesar Silverberg has left Luceti. Since he was here for awhile, I'm sure he wished many of you well. Thank you.
[After his brief entry, Albert picks up some packages left by Caesar and leaves the house to walk across the village to house 24. By the time he's walking back to the plaza to pick up some wine at the bar, night has fallen and the sky is filled with clouds heavy with snow. He stands in the plaza, looking at the lightened sky contemplatively.
Why do I need to tell you to leave for you to go? Since when did you ... just volunteer to stay around?
My presence may irritate you, but you shouldn't have to deal with this by yourself. Kind of like shoveling this snow.
His arm burns, his hand clenching into a shaking fist as he takes a deep breath and heads south, towards the house.
He would be shoveling snow tomorrow. Alone.]
