*still feeling... a lot of things best summarized as "off"... feels a jolt of shock, thinking she must have heard wrong* ...What?!

[never0jealous]

*sitting on the couch, legs curled under himself* He died this morning of a broken neck.

[songless_psiren]

*sits down abruptly, tears stinging at her eyes again* Wha- he-? Oh blessèd Lord! *swallows hard* ...How...? A... another fall...? Oh, Ren....

[never0jealous]

*grits his teeth, taking a short breath and speaking in a clipped, abrupt tone* I would really rather not talk about it... *trails off, silent for a moment* I'm sorry, Clara.

[skorts]

Oh. Oh, my. *barely suppressing a giggle, thinking that this is the best thing he's heard in a year or five*

[never0jealous]

*doesn't look up* What are you doing here?

[skorts]

*shrugs quickly, shifting his weight from foot to foot, trying to contain his glee* I overheard you talking to Clara. *smiles at his double, narrow-eyed and vicious in his joy* Is it true? Your little ... pet died?

[never0jealous]

I do not have time for you right now. Please leave. *keeps working*

[lostforeigner]

... ::long silence on the other end of the line:: ...What?

[never0jealous]

He died. This morning. I am sorry. *couldn't be more terse if he tried*

[lostforeigner]

... You... you are...

You cannot be telling the truth...

[never0jealous]

Why would I lie? Especially about this. *feeling testy already, eyes narrowing and letting it show in his voice*

[fm_edelric]

........ How?

[never0jealous]

His neck was broken. I am scheduling the funeral for later this week if you would like to come.

[fm_edelric]

...Did he- ...Never mind. I'd like to, but... I dunno. It might be... kinda weird.

[never0jealous]

I do not think so. You knew him so you are invited. It will be small.

*surprised to get a phone call at work, even more surprised when she hears the message* ...Could you repeat that?

[never0jealous]

*sighs, rolling his eyes* Edward. Edward Elric, the crippled one. He died this morning. This is his husband speaking, and I thought I would let you know since you knew him.

*feels like she should be more torn up inside about it, but isn't, just shocked* I... Wow... Er, I'm sorry, this must be very difficult for you right now.
