"...W-Why did he have to leave m-me so soon..?"
"Though the occasion is tragic, I do look forward to continuing the talk of an alliance with you, as the new leader of Earth's Eastern Commonwealth. As I see no reason to defer these conversations until your coronation, whensoever that shall be, I do think it appropriate to plan a meeting as soon as it is convenient in your time of mourning. My shuttle is prepared. I can depart as soon as your next sunrise and come and offer both my sympathies and my congratulations in the flesh. I will alert my thaumaturge to expect my arrival. She can ensure that my accommodations are adequately prepared. I ask that you do not concern yourself with my comfort. I am sure you will have other concerns during this tragic time. My sympathies are with you and the Commonwealth."
She finished her message with a tilt of her head and the screen went black.
