Who: Sola and anyone
Where: Plaza, in front of the coral
When: After his network post
Status: Open to all

[Sola isn't stupid. He's naive and gullible, yes, but he isn't plain stupid. Somewhere, deep down, he knows that sitting here in front of the coral and wishing or hoping or even praying won't bring Link back. It hadn't brought Ion back, or any of his other friends who'd been tossed back to their own worlds.

But what if, this time...?

He'd sat with Darkleer for a time before, watching the coral, and not too long after Signless had returned. He'd sat in front of the coral for days after waking up and finding Johnny had died and his matesprit had come back to him. There's just as much of a chance that Link could return.

Right?

He has to hope. Because without hope, what else is there? Maybe he's stubborn, maybe he even knows it's futile, but he has to hope.

So here he is, sitting on the ground in front of the massive edifice of undersea polyps. Waiting. Watching.

Hoping.]

And you can call me your brother too, okay?

[His smile breaks into something more warm and less timid.]

And we'll always be family, I promise. I'll do everything I can to keep us here and together, okay?

[Not that he can do much but it's a nice gesture.]

Okay. [Fai's smile widens a little- Sola's moods can be infectious and the things he's saying really mean a lot to the kid. He's not sure there's really anything else that needs to be said, so the boy will happily sit there.]

[Sola smiles in turn and looks back up at the coral.]

And I'll find a way to bring everyone back, too. Then we can all be together.

[He closes his eyes, sending it as a prayer to the coral, and sitting here with Fai makes it really seem possible.]
