if i'm far from home (brother i will hear you call)

[The following mass message goes out to everyone in town this morning with no warning at all to the relevant parties who work at the cafe (sorry, folks).]

Taako's gone back to Faerun.

Affurgato's closed for a while.

[She does hesitate, just for a moment. Considers saying more, but... nope. That's all the public gets from her today. Back to the blanket nest with her. She might respond, but no promises she'll be pleasant conversation.

True to her word, the cafe Affurgato is locked and temporarily closed, and will remain so for a while.]

as a king whose decisions affect everyone, maybe you ought to be a little more careful about how much sacrificing you do, even hypothetically. you've only got one life, unless you've got that particular surprise hidden up your sleeve.

Does facing an unknown amount of time as a spirit in a ring count as having more than one life?

[Because, if you are going to be technical...]

[Pardon her long silence in return, because while Lup isn't prone to panic attacks Regis just sidled up to about as close as she gets to one with that comment.

She's not even going to acknowledge it, all he gets is,]

thanks for the condolences.

[Regis is both surprised and confused by the abrupt change in the tone of Lup's email. He's obviously said something wrong, but he has no idea what. Had Cor never mentioned this to her? Well, perhaps he hadn't. After all, trust had been what tore them apart in the end.]

I apologize. I have apparently trod where I should not have. Please take care of yourself. My offer remains open should you wish to take advantage of it.

[He's not expecting a response, but he can't leave things like this. Especially since he's managed to upset her when he was trying to do the exact opposite.]
