There was nothing I could do.

Everyone, I'm sorry to have to announce, Darryn died this evening, around an hour ago. I'm so sorry.

Sun goddess, protect my son.

Wait... died?

He died?

[Audio]

[proff_treacle]

The poison... I'm sorry. [his voice sounds shaken, as if he's weeping right now]

[Audio]

[nel_bindle]

But... [Well her instant thoughts are that if one of the big fighter people can die here, that does not bode well for her. Luckily even Nel isn't stupid enough to say that. Not when someone's died.]

I'm... I'm really sorry...

[Audio]

[proff_treacle]

[And there is now the distinct sound of a grown man crying, before a muttered apology is said and the feed is closed. The prof will cry in private.]

[temptin_beignet]

Oh my word...

Will you be all ri'ht, darlin'?

[proff_treacle]

In time, Miss La Bouff. [He tries hard to keep his voice gentle, though it is clear he is distraught] Thank you for your concern.

/snuggles prof forever ;o;

[unholy_rebirth]

....

[Someone is coming to the inn to comfort you, Prof.]

[proff_treacle]

[He's in Darryns hut momma moo-cow, you'll know once you get to the inn and he's not there]

[unholy_rebirth]

[Whoops, so she sees after looking through the building. Should've figured that. Despite a lack of tears, she's not quite thinking straight either.

Well, time to move to the hut then. She gently pushes the door open.]

[proff_treacle]

... Thereth? [The Prof stands gently, motioning to the floor] You best be careful, there's some spit soup there...

[soulboundhunter]

How? He was healthy when he spoke with me that first day.

[proff_treacle]

[The man takes a deep, shaky breath] he went to explore the island out on the loch and... Something there poisoned him.

He suffered an unquenchable thirst... Then he d-died.

[soulboundhunter]

I...am sorry.

Have you someone with you?

[proff_treacle]

Actually Thereth just arrived.

Thank you my dear, please don't concern yourself too much. If you could do me one favour? Let everyone you can know, not to go to the island out in the loch.
