Erica passed the letter back, "She said in three months she thinks she's going to die. She thought she was going to die that time her grandmother visited also, remember? She thought she was going to die when she got her knee scratched back when we were kids. She layed down on the ground and refused to get up, saying she was 'conservin energy'." Erica shook her head, "she's always been a drama queen. In any case, the revolution was over, what in the hell could have killed her? I've never seen her get really sick, and she's got a huge store of healing abilities."

Arch let out a bitter laugh. "Mayhaps she didna e'er tell yeh. Wouldna suprise meh much." Arch straightened himself slightly, placing his face in his hands. "I donna know what'd make her do it, but iffn' she got pregnant, a daughter'd kill her. It'd jus' take 'er powers 'way, leave 'er unable to pump her blood."

Arch paused, sat up straight, and turned to Erica.
"Aye, a vereh good question.... but where would I start?" Arch began to stroke his chin. "I mean, I can't ask for a child who's mother died in childbirth.... I don't even know if I have the heart to ask around for him..." Arch's head sank back down drearily.

"Him?" Erica asked. "That's probably another question you should be asking, I mean we don't know for sure if she had a little girl." She patted his back with a soft sigh. "I know someone we can ask, a few people. Do you believe in fortunes at all, Arch?"

Eulalia Danae "Him?" Erica asked. "That's probably another question you should be asking, I mean we don't know for sure if she had a little girl." She patted his back with a soft sigh. "I know someone we can ask, a few people. Do you believe in fortunes at all, Arch?" Arch smiled wryly through his hands. "Yer asking an Angel iffn' he beleives in magic. 'Course ah doh."

Eulalia Danae "It's found missing people before," Erica shrugged, "we have a couple of them downstairs, if you're not too down to try." A breif fear of finding out about Ruby's death crossed his mind, but he shoved it aside with curiosity. "Yeah, ahm gahme fehr iht."

Erica pulled on his arm, "Come on then, and bring the box of stuff, it might help."
She walked down the stairs leading to the lower area. Snapps, and three others lifted their heads. Erica nodded towards a girl who looked about fourteen, who had her hair tied back in a scarf. "Arch, I'd like you to meet Hannah, I'm thinking she may be the best bet."

Hannah glanced at the hand and shook it with a soft grasp, a slight frown coming over her face. "Why so sad, Angel?"

Arch paused, realising he really didn't have a picture, and other people's mail to her prolly wouldn't work. He paused, then passed Hannah the letters Ruby wrote to him.
"She wrote these. Will they work?"

Hannah nodded taking the letters, she ran her hand along the envelope and across the writing. Her face wrinkled, "She's so loud, and moving." She picked up one of the letters, and tossed it to a man across the room, "Victor, feel the emotions in this, you hear those better than I."
Victor caught the letter and immediatley raised an eyebrow. "You have no picture, but what did she look like?"
