Summary: "All Advisories die in the line of duty. It's in the job description; we accept it."
It's a warm summer morning when she hears about Carl. The universe never quite seems to cooperate on occasions like this; she remembers how it poured with rain on the day Kit got married.
Inanely, she wonders if it will be sunny for the next wizard lost.
Someone dies every day, however they try to prevent it; the planetary climate can't be pleasant everywhere, all the time. She knows that. She can't remember the weather on the day her mother died, though so many things about it are etched painfully clear in her memory. Maybe it's better that way.
The thought abandons her when she sees the frozen look on Tom's face. She can only hug him, and say nothing.
What's done is done, and this one can't be patched.
Timeheart, she thinks.
