Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *watches as Pavel examines the form rested on the bed, stepping back out of the way* Arnou Campbell: If you would report your finding to one of us or Krist. we would be much abliged Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I'll return in a few hours to check up..

Some acknowledged the strange behaviour that Aislinn was portraying but none did anything about it so didn't find it necessary to keep it* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods a bit though doesn't seem to be all there* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *turns, moving for the building, armor coated in blood and green slime* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *looks around seeming to be trying to find something though gives up after a moment* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *gives the box back* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *turns from the bank, almost seeming to possess the zombie-like mindlessness as she* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *steps away.. gaze devoid of any emotion or expression* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *whistles for her horse though seems to be lacking any effort in it* *Aislinn wanders to the outer wall of Telrae and sat at the docks for awhile, staring blankly into the water until an hour passed and returned to Pavel only to be reaffirmed that the body had been dead several days before she killed it. It was a bit comforting however the damage had already been done. She left to find Krist and Arnou to determine what to do with the body before finally making efforts to return home though doesn't actually make it. Seated in the middle of the clearing just west of the house in silent meditation as poison and sickness are pushed out of her veins and wounds healed.* |
