Valdis didn't know why she had come to this place, but her mind was settled now and she had to accept that Wan was gone. But at the sight of the small house she paused, the scents outside the place were fresh, though unrecognizable. The vibrant flowers that Wan had so carefully cared for were wilted and dying. The lack of moisture was causing problems for everyone it seemed.

She stood and stared at the house, trying to come to terms with the idea that her best friend had gone. It had been a trend lately, only too fresh now that Iroh had vanished as well. It was as if her last ties to Wan were all gone, except for the house.
