"Well, just so long as you don't take it before I come down again.... Thank you." Elise gave the paramedic a respectful nod and started on her way up the ladder. For once, she was thankful for not wearing her usual platform boots.... They would have made this climb a good bit trickier
She could feel the wind more sharply at the top of the building. It ruffled her hair and skirt as she took in her surroundings. Not- not a sign he was ever here.... She took a sharp deep breath, tightly tamping down the feelings welling up inside. Not. Not yet. Not until... after this....
This time she knelt down. Rifling through her handbag, Elise pulled out the little pack of playing cards she carried as a foci and removed the top card. Ace of spades. The car Genno had used for his "card trick," the trick that had gotten them started on a road it looked like they would never get to finish.... She clutched the card tightly, behind the brooch cupped in her two hands. It was the only physical connection she had to him....
This time the closed eyes were as much to hold back welling tears as to aid in concentration. "Genno?" she said quietly. "I... it is me. Elise. Please come. Allow me to see you one last time.... There- there are some things I need to say to you...." And she reached out, valiantly, trying to reach the one who had become so dear to her so unexpectedly and quickly....
OOC: I'm assuming that Daniel had time to hide before she really looked around, to make sure she wouldn't see him. Especially given her mental focus was on one specific individual. That's why I never mentioned him.
