[Ally] Respect

[Ringo Shiro]

For a few days now, Ringo has noticed a grave set up at the Gap. He had no idea who it was. None the less, he still felt that he had to pay his respect. He didn’t have everything much to his chagrin so he did everything he could. The best he could do is grave offerings. So here Ringo was again, on his knees, placing a can of soda and a bag of bread. He clapped his hands together.

“Sorry I don’t have everything. I don’t even know if this how respecting the dearly departed is done where you are from…this is all I know.” Ringo reached over to pick the water and snacks and place them into his book bag. He picked up the sword beside him and stood up. Ringo paid his respect, he has nothing to do here anymore. He turned to see a familiar face. "Hello Alouette."

[Alouette Pendleton]

Ally was heading to The Gap yet again today. She didn't have a wagon full of junk to sell, nor did she really have any specific buisness with the blonde woman who ran the place. At most, she would probably stop inside and look to see if there were any new missions up for grabs. She didn't come here just to look at a few missions, of course. The girl was holding a small vase with rather expensive looking flowers inside. The flowers themselves were pure white in color and seemed to be in full bloom. of course, the girl had a large array of weapons on her person as she made her way there just in case. She was bringing this vase all the way out here for a reason.

Finally, the girl's destination was in plain sight. A simple grave with a simple inscription on it. What the girl wasn't expecting was someone else visiting that grave. She remembered the boy. She had talked to him not that long ago. His name was Ringo, right? Why was he here and just what was he doing? As the girl slowly made her way over, it was pretty clear what the boy was trying to do. He left some soda and bread at the base of the grave and gave a little prayer. She narrowed her eyes at the offerings, then at the boy. As he turned, he greeted her. What are you doing? She just stared at him, waiting for an answer. Did you know this girl? Aside from the name written on it, did you even know this girl? Again, she simply waited for an answer. She gripped the vase in her hand tightly as she waited.

"What are you doing?" Alouette asked. Ringo looked over at the vase that contained numerous full bloom white flowers. The narrowing of her eyes were not exactly good news. "Did you know this girl? Aside from the name written on it, did you even know this girl?" Ringo looked at Ally, then the flowers, then back at the grave.

"I did not know her." Ringo said. "I wanted to leave behind some offerings and prayers." He looked back over at the grave. Suddenly he remembered what Alouette said about a sentient shadow. Could this be...? No, he shouldn't assume. He had little room to speak as it is. "I'll be stepping aside now." Ringo took a step aside allowing Alouette more room to place her flowers down.
