"I called your name last night. Three times." Delenn/Neroon (or possibly Delenn/Lennier)
4. I called your name last night. Three times. (Babylon 5, Delenn/Lennier)
There is a candle in Delenn’s hands, cupped between her fingers as gently as she had once held his face. As gently, and with as much steely resolve. “I called your name last night,” she says. She is speaking to him. She is focused on the candle, which is present, but she is speaking to him, who is not. “Three times.”
Lennier knows. He heard her. He was not there in the room where she called out his name, or in the city, or even on the planet. But he had heard her. She had called his name and he had heard her, as he always did, and he heard her now, as he would always hear her, in his soul.
His name on her lips is a prayer. It is a blessing. It is a burden. He bears them all, so that she will not have to. And she has called for him, so he will go. Yes, he will go. He will go to Delenn, after so long, at last.
Perhaps then, his name can rest, and so can she.
