Nodding slowly, Saiden reached up to wipe away his own tears. "Yes. It also escorts the souls of the dead." The words came out softly, in between the sobs that still wracked his body.
Shaking his head now, he leaned back, gently using his grip on Eloise's hips to push her slightly away. Though he didn't let go of her, he didn't want her to feel that she had to continue holding him. "Nothing." He grimaced. "Perhaps they're in lands we haven't heard of, but I can't hope for that, considering how much trade passes through Torchline. Besides, even if they are..." Voice trailing off, he shook his head again, looking a little helpless.
