[Cuthbert]

---

Cuthbert stood in the street of Magincia amongst the mourners of Mark Randerstill, listening to the eulogy delivered by Drake. He stood amongst the current members of Humanis. And as much as he told himself it wasnt true, as much as he told himself that he was shaken up and couldnt trust his feelings, as much as he tried to let all thought slide away and deal with his grief, one thing kept returning to him. That he felt as if he had returned home. He glanced about and saw old faces, old friends, and he missed it. He missed THEM. He shook his head to clear it. God... what am I thinking? he said to himself. Cut it out. This is insane. You're being irrational. You've moved on from this. You've made your peace. You aren't a radical anymore. Mark's death has just touched a nerve. Thats all.

The eulogies wrapped up and people began to go their separate ways. Cuth walked down from the Magika to the beach on the north side of the island, fully aware he was being followed. He stepped onto the sand, stopping at the high tide line. He closed his eyes and turned his face up to the sun, letting it warm him. He breathed the salt air. No matter where he was or what was going on, he could always return to the sea. The sea didnt change. It didnt have an agenda. It was just there. Take it or leave it.

"He would have been happy you were here, Cuthbert" Drake said from behind him. Cuth nodded slowly, not turning around. Drake walked up and stood next to him, gazing out over the water. He sighed. "Its amazing, really. You never consider how difficult it could be to lose both a great leader and a friend at the same time, but it happens." Cuth nodded again. "Its strange to be back on the island" he said to Drake. "Feels like home again?" Drake replied, half kidding. Cuth turned and looked at Drake for a moment, then looked back over his shoulder at the city. "Something like that" he said, returning his gaze to the water. The two men stood there a moment longer, listening to the waves lap up on the beach. Drake turned to go. "You are always welcome here, Cuthbert. Know that." Cuth nodded again, eyes firmly fixed on the horizon over the water. Drake walked back into the city. Cuthbert let his imagination of what the future might hold run wild.
