stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires
Confession time: Rory wasn't the best with letters. Sure, his mom had taught him. Sure, his sister had heckled him about it, more than once, and with varying degrees of pedagogy. But even though it stuck in theory, he had a hard time translating it into practice. And besides, he didn't have a lot of reason to read or write, so he'd sort of stopped doing it, which meant that he was very, very rusty.
But he'd stopped by the noticeboard on his way back from some errand, and caught sight of a name he actually recognized almost instantly: Remi. So, laboriously, he had deciphered the note, in the end just grabbing a passerby and demanding they read it out loud to him.
He didn't like what he heard. And by all indications, it seemed that it was today, and noon was rapidly approaching. Rory would have precious little time to talk him out of it.
None, actually.
As the black pony reached the Spire it became painfully obvious that he was too late to stop them. Remi changed into a hawk, accompanied by two larger birds, and up they went. Rory walked Talys to the spot where they had changed, and then he just.. sat there, staring forlornly up at their circling shapes as the wind began to tug at them.
At least this way, someone would know how they died.
[ Rory arrives after y'all have taken off, and he's not part of the PQ, he's just there to judge your feathery butts. Don't wait for him in the rounds of the PQ! ]
