BAND-AID SOLUTIONS / 07.21 meeting

at the call, malphas padded over, sliding over and gently brushing fur with stocking, glad her leg was slowly recovering. he didn't expect out of this meeting, but was glad beck was doing them more often. then, beck announced the promotions, and right in the middle, he said nayru is gone, maybe dead, and then the world around him shattered. his chest began to hurt and his vision blurred, and he keeled over. "beck, what do you mean? nayru is... she's.. not.." he thought. he hadn't seen her in a while, but she was busy doing all those rituals, right? she was fine. she was okay.

nayru was gone. he felt light-headed, beginning to breathe too much, and then he passed out. it was quick and pathetic, as hyperventilating had deprived his brain of oxygen. he crumbled to the ground near stocking, useless.
