watch the hospital that's just across the street ━ sick

[glow=#000,1,400]BUT NOW I UNDERSTAND YOU, AND I WILL NOT BE PART OF YOUR DESIGNS — ｡+ﾟ.[/glow]

Wormwood opened his mouth again to continue his questioning to perhaps help diagnose her somehow – if she wasn't fighting, maybe she had tripped and hid something, or accidentally torn something? However, his questioning was cut off by her beginning to speak to her friends in the group, and he fell silent, watching curiously. Surely Selby would be able to make sure everything was alright with her- oh. His eyes went wide as soon as hers closed, and he felt a soft pained noise leave him, something akin to a warning. It was already too late though, and she was gone. He was left in stunned silence for a moment, just staring at the scene and slowly digging his thick claws into the earth. She had just... died. Died without even that much fuss, and now Selby was upset, and so was Red, and so was probably everyone else in this new group.

Swallowing thickly, the lion looked around slowly, feeling an unhealthy weight settle in his chest, right around his heart. He looked around at faces and postures, judging reactions and trying to keep himself calm. He looked down for a moment before mumbling roughly, closing his eyes for a brief moment, [glow=#793B29,1,400]"I'm... I'm sorry for your loss. If you need assistance with the body later, I will... I will make sure to handle it delicately.[/glow]" He couldn't think of what else to say, and he knew he couldn't stay here, with the dead body in front of him and the horrified loved ones around him, so he slowly turned and walked away to go find Poetking and tell him what happened, not wanting him to be in the dark for long.
