Heh. Radakh was one of my most favorite people to interact with. It was funny, actually. The way it turned out, I aliased the tea I always made for you under 'radakh', so anytime I made that tea afterwards, I thought of you again. You were a ground in a sea of trouble and unrest. A calm center to an otherwise stormy time of Celebeleni's life. Of all people (other than Tathlyn), you were her favorite friend. A lot of people (Troupers, lightwalkers) looked at me funny when asked how I met you, I reply calmly that you killed me, and now we were friends.
Well, thanks for the kudos, for sure... =) Hope our spirits meet again on CF, I think we could have fun. =)

Hehe.. well... mostly shocking. I knew it was coming as a general, but to have it suddenly happen... =P But Celebeleni had the druid's view of life and death, and wasn't afraid to go on. I think the only time I myself neared tears was right near the end. Deleting a character was much more traumatic. Dying of old age is just hectic as you try to write your goodbyes (which I should have had prepared, bad me!) But it is a source of pride, too, that a character of mine lived that long and didn't get horribly pk'ed or somesuch.
You should try it sometime, if you get the chance. ;)
