The thing that I'm concerned about the most, honestly, is the enmity between you and Cobie. You two were best friends before.
(sighs)
But, as much as I care about both of you, I guess that's none of my business.

Here they are, Lardy. I took the liberty of having them washed and pressed for you. I hope they turned out all right. We Pyngwynyy don't wear clothes, after all, so my staff isn't that used to laundry. Undergarments don't get starched, right? Or is it that they do?

<not one for shyness, he puts on his underwear and pants right then>
Thanks! It's inadvisable for me to 'port when I'm really hung over...I tend to reappear in places I didn't intend to.
<shrugs>
Naked Lardy's not all that uncommon a sight around Legion World--I did make some pornos after all--but since I became a Security Officer, I've tried to keep it all on the down-low.
<puts on one of his boots>
I hear a lot of bad things about how I was between the time I returned from Dark Oval space--right before the Invasion--right up until I died. That would be the period in which you met me...
<puts other boot on>
...what was I like? Do I deserve the flack I'm getting for that time?

When I first met you, you were a bit rough around the edges, but you were all right. I always thought you were kind of sweet, really. Then after Dru passed away, you became--distant. I tried to talk to you about it--after all, I'd also lost my love--but you didn't want to.
I hope that's helpful.

No, not really. I think I met Pru during the Invasion--or maybe I heard about her at that time. I don't really remember. That was when Blaine was killed. He and I weren't together very long, honestly, but I've never felt that way about anyone before--nor have I since.
I think that's how you said you felt about Dru--but that was also a long time ago, I guess.

That line is from a human poet, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, who lived back in your Nineteenth Century in a country called England. He wrote it after the death of his best friend--some say lover. I read that poem after Blaine died. I found comfort in it.
I'm glad I had my time with Blaine. It's harder knowing that there's an evil double of him from this universe somewhere with my evil double from his.
I hope you can remember your time with Dru. You deserve those memories. And I hope somehow you can also find a way to reconcile with Cobie and Clive. Life is too short and too precious.

(Rocky sighs after Lardy departs. Then speaks, ostensibly to the absent Lardy)
No, Lardy, you're not destined to be alone. None of us are. Another of your poets put it this way:
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Rocky, Clive and I are leaving Legion World for a little while. We're joining Cobalt Kid and a few other folks on an adventure. I honestly have no idea when we'll be back--which for me is saying something--but I know we won't be gone that long.
Thank you for all you've done for Clive and me. I know that you and Hyvvie and everyone will be fine at the Rookery, but we'll miss you. You really are the big brother I always wanted, but never had!
I'll see you really soon. I wish (no, I really wish) I knew exactly when.
Please stop in any time in the next twelve days for some festive holiday cheer!
The scantily-clad waitstaff will be more than happy to fetch you a libation. There is a groaning buffet table with all sorts of goodies.
And so a toast! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
