the baffled king composing hallelujah
Standing with his hands linked loosely behind his back, they were together two soldiers that truly did not know how to be anything else in that moment. And there were cracks in both of their masks, but there were no eyes waiting to cast judgement on them anymore. Not here, at least. Glancing sidelong at Roana, the hunter waited to hear her out and found himself frowning gently at hearing that she had been to visit both Ludo and Safrin, only to find Brahm... well. Gone.
"So he was never here..." He sighed deeply. "I'm sorry to hear that, Roana. It must be hard. I guess all you can do is keep walking forward..." He had at least gotten to say goodbye to Vanya. It was a memory that would haunt his dreams forevermore, but he had that much. And besides, fate had been kind enough to give him love again.
"Me? Ah, well... this and that." His smile turned sad. "I shan't speak of my personal life - it doesn't feel appropriate given what you're going through. I'm still trying to figure out this Zariah situation - she's been... well. Herself, which I'm sure I don't need to elaborate on. And something has happened to Safrin."
