Delenn places the inkwell deliberately on her desk and breathes deeply. She has a task before her, one that must be done with a full heart and a steady hand. However much she might wish to hesitate, to quake, to dissemble -- those things are unworthy.

It is my great honor to inform you that the soul of your cousin Shaal Nerid has been freed from the hands of Shak Tot. No more is he lost to us all.

Tears shimmer in her eyes, sorrow and joy together.
