Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow; No Tomorrow; No tomorrow...

After hearing gunshots, Will’s first course of action was to find his gun. Shotgun in hand, he ran out the door, not even bothering to close it behind him. He wasn’t sure what was going on, but those shots were too damned close to be a hunter. He sees a body in the distance and kicks into a sprint.

Blonde hair…

no.

It can’t be Sven.

He denies it

[ Hardly noticeable in the crowd of people, Ernie stands quietly, staring at Tal, or what's left of her. Some disturbed individual--maybe the person lying next to her--had shot her in her pretty face.

He's seen death before, hundreds of times. He's even seen the death of another city, such as himself. It's never been quite this inhumane, though. It disturbs him more than he thought it could. Maybe what hit him hardest was the fact that she had mentioned something about fighting--or enemies. He didn't quite remember, but she had said something and he should have paid closer attention. Tal was a nice girl. She didn't deserve this. ]

...I should have listened more carefully.

He's not getting a response from Will, he's too busy cradling his Sven.

[ Inching closer. He doesn't want to get in the way, but he's new here and completely ignorant as to what is going on. He approaches the man who seems to be taking this the hardest. ]

Were they important to you?

[devilwentdownto]

He's mah husband.

[nodorwink]

Ah. [ Still trying to process everything. He needs to ask questions, though, but needs to be careful when doing so. Making enemies or hurting someone further is simply not going to happen. ]

And they...they have done this to each other?

[devilwentdownto]

in a manner a' speakin'.

[nodorwink]

[ Well, that wasn't a good enough answer, but he can look past the man's attempts at dodging the question. ]

You mean, then, that you believe it was not your husband's fault.

[devilwentdownto]

He pulled Sven closer to his chest, watching the other warily. He thinks he's looking for a reason to take Sven.
you can' have him.

[nodorwink]

I'm not trying to take him. [ Tilts his head to one side, and then sighs quietly. This is not the time for introductions; this man is half out of his mind in grief at the moment. ]

I apologize. I shouldn't have interrupted.

[ His curiosity has not been sated, but there are other ways he can get information. ]/small>

He shakes his head, shifting his grip to better guard Sven's form.
I's gonna be okay darlin'...
