::reads the missive as she passes by, her face serene. As happy as she is to be going on thier adventure of life together, she still feels sad that he will no go to the arena. She knows that she will always search the rings for his smile, listen for his laughter and catch herself calling out his name when she hops down the stairs. Pulls out a pencil from Marcus's jar and carefullly crosses out Rose in Occurs Summer Rose, scratches in carefully: ~~Oakenshield~~

She sat in the quiet arena late that night, glancing to the empty rings. Marcus sniffled, Al and Hubie grumbled, Nemo dropped another dish. A smile quirked at her lips as she remembered the arrival of the Joker, Jeff. Scribbling a note, she rose from her chair, strode to the corkboard tacked the note beneath the others then wandered out to sit under the stars, remembering.
Jeffrey,
Many have danced in the rings, some for but one eve, others for many a long year. Few have danced as well as thee, Stumpy. Friendship and fun are indeed forever. May the day come when Chaos again flashes under the lights of the rings.
Jona.

Well Stumpy, you beat me to it. I think the sentiments expressed in all these messages pretty much sum up the way I feel. You'll be missed around here, little guy. Now I have to find someone else to throw cookies at and now I'll have to pick on Raiyko and start calling him Shorty or something. You never did make my job easy.
Take care, my friend
Nova
P.S. I'll pray every night that your and Summer's children end up taking after their mother instead of you. Heheh.

Love ya like a brother, my friend. I know one day you'll return and there will be some who say "Uh oh, an old timer has returned" and there I will be, sitting in my usual spot, smiling as I see you enter. I know how you'll react to seeing someone call you an old timer, so I can't wait. And I know you'll be back as I have to catch up in our series with each other. Jeff, with Summer I don't see how you could have done better. I know you'll treat her well, but, on those nites when talking and your
head starts to pound in the frustration we both have felt, Just take some aspirin and say "Yes Dear", it works. I'll miss crossing Sabre and Axe my friend, see you upon your return.

Jeff,
I think dearly of ye and no doubt enters my mind otherwise.. Ye are by far, "A GREAT PERSON" with the best of personality. I have had so much fun with ye over the almost two years I have known ye. Ye truly know what fun is all about and what *friendship* is all about. I think ye have a great wife, but then only the best deserve the best. ::winks::
Ye better hurry back...otherwise, I'll come looking for ye myself.
::THWAP:: ::giggle, giggle:: ::BIG HUG::

Jeffery Oakenshield,
While I and the rest of the House will be fortunate to see thee about the Citadel and preforming your duties at Knight Marshal of the Dracoern Highlands, your presence within this sport will indeed be missed by many. Till such time, we shall recount thy glorys as they are, a feat onto it's self. There will always be a place here for you.

::With a heavy heart she reads the various well-wishes and notes attached to Jeff's farewell, then goes to pen her own.::
Jeff...
My friend, I want to thank you again for being the first person I ever dueled in the DoS. You, along with Gnortie and Prin, were amoungst my first friends in RhyDin, for though I had been in the Realm for some few months, I still had few friends until I found my way into the Arena.
I will miss you, my stout friend. Your jovial laugh and your easy smile. I don't think I will miss the way you always beat me when we dueled, but I will miss the dueling as well.
I wish you nothing but joy and good tidings, no matter where life should take you, but in my heart, I know that one day you will return to the ring. Dueling is in your blood, Baron Oakenshield, and will ever be a part of you.
The Grand Duchess, Drakewyn Alabaster the Tenth.
P.S. Hey Rand... if you're looking for someone to lose to, I'm looking for someone to win against.

Pinning a parchment amongst the rest, it reads:
Farewell my friend,
I well understand the desire to spend more time with a loved one and wish you and Summer all the best. It is no exaggeration you have given me some of the finest matches a dueler could ever hope for. I can only hope when I am more active in the rings again we'll have a chance to match Fawn to Chaos someday again, for the simple love of the sport.
