[Kravitz very rarely makes himself known on the network, but this is one of those things he feels is Important in a way he can't ignore. It's not that he's looking for pity- rather, he just needs to inform people. There's no tragedy in passing. There's no fear in something he can't reach.

He wishes he could believe that anymore.]

Hello, uhm-- this is Kravitz. For those who may be looking for them, it seems Lup, Taako, and Ren have all departed from the island. My apologies to those who used their services or... simply knew them. I'm not able to carry on the magic they did, but I'll do my best in providing what you need if you were getting some kind of service or items from their store.

[He takes a breath, but it's shaky, and forces any other uncertainty out of his tone.]

I'd also like to remind everyone that we do have a library here containing many resources and a workspace for study. Contributions are always welcome, and I have a number of archived pieces from other islands for study as well. Feel free to contact me if I am not around and I will come to assist.

That... that is all.

[ooc: Kravitz has a shiny new library page on his journal now, if people want to get involved!!]

[ He definitely knows about not talking about how you feel. Playing it off as irrelevant. Specially because, for the longest time, in the grand scheme of things, it really was.

But, right now, they’re two people just sitting there, having a conversation, and one of them is hurting. It’s all it is.

Aziraphale doesn’t take the out that is offered, but he doesn’t remark on it, either. If Kravitz truly rather not talk about it, he’ll let it go. He can, at least, do empathy.]

It’s perfectly understandable to grieve such a thing.[ An attempt st being a bit more direct about it.] it sounds quite difficult.

[Truthfully, Kravitz would very much like to talk about it, but he feels the need to give Aziraphale the trapdoor if he wants it. But as he presses forward, Kravitz feels emboldened to do the same, and he nods a shallow nod in response.]

I... it's what I was afraid of, to be frank. I knew it would come eventually, or-- I suspected, at least, that something may happen. I just didn't expect it to be all of them at once.

[He shakes his head as if to clear it, but it doesn't seem to work.]

I suppose this is what it feels like when mortals have loved ones die. Taking them somewhere suddenly where they can no longer be reached, with so much left unsaid. It's been a long time since I felt it this poignantly.

[ Aziraphale listens attentively, quiet, looking solemn. There's not much he can do to comfort someone under such a level of grief, but neither can anyone else, really. He's seen it before, in places in time. ]

I'm sure they would want nothing but to be with you, too.

I can't say I've yet to master the intricacies of this place, but I imagine there is an escape, somehow. Perhaps you may find them yet again, hopefully somewhere better.

[Kravitz has seen so much grief over the years, but very rarely has he ever had to deal with his own. It's... something to behold, but not as interesting when he's the one grieving.]

I would like to be hopeful, but under the circumstances it's... difficult. That said, I-- I appreciate it. Truly.

[He attempts some sort of smile, at least. He isn't feeling it, but he does feel he should put up a show for someone trying to be kind.]

Really, I'm not used to people noticing anything about me, so I do feel your kindness.

[ While Aziraphale doesn't quite expect smiles in times like these, he can see the effort the poor man is putting behind it. That's fine.

The angel has been around mortals for a very long time. He's seen lives, communities, whole peoples disappear, a few he's grieved personally, but it's not the same. He's never had someone who he cared for so deeply that it would have made a big mark. Well, not before Crowley, but he's fortunate enough to have the demon with him. ]

Oh, no need to mention it. I understand that this is all quite personal. If there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask.
