[ the dead have been found and any joy that might be gleaned from a mere two corpses being uncovered feels vastly overshadowed by the owners of those bodies. who they were. how one moment ago, they were right there.

[ caelus' usual energy is low. grinding to a halt. the trailblaze within him down to cinder. ]
[ hawke has already been feeling shitty since they found camille yesterday and this really does just feel like kicking them when you're already down.
there's nothing like the quiet horror of knowing someone was there when you passed out last night and waking up to this nightmare that they're just...... gone.
anyway hawke being the superior alpha slings an arm around his neck and reels him in for a side hug. ]
[ his reaction is to sharply stiffen, quite different from the wriggling of the prior night. but he recovers in a moment, realizing it's hawke and not--who knows. a spooky ghost? more dead people but now zombies? anything is possible!!!! we're in hell!!!! ]
but hey maybe hawke needed reassurance, did you think about that?? she's the one who's seen more death than most of them and it doesn't ever get easier ]
You were all supposed to be under my watch last night. [ and she failed!!!! again!!!!! ]
[ don't start spiraling on her now, kid. she needs at least one of you to keep it together. caelus has the current high score of simply Going Through The Horrors and he's the one she's keeping the closest eye on ]
You'd think by now we'd be able to do something about it.

There was nothing you could have done.
[ and in a way that's the most painful thing of all. ]

And isn't that the worst part.
