All in all you're just another brick in the wall

Torin had helped to bury her, then escorted Jewell back to her den and stayed with her until she had fallen asleep her other children seemingly keeping watch over her... finally though she'd subcommand to the mercy of sleep and Torin prayed it was a deep sleep. Slowly he untangled himself from his sister's form, pulling himself wearily from her den, lifting his head to meet the gaze of Blaise and Celestin. "She's asleep." He spoke hoarsely, unable to add much more of anything.

Torin had to keep moving, had to keep himself from being alone for too long. He had work to do. That's what he kept telling himself as he ran, determined to do a patrol of the border. But as he moved, he was suddenly very alone with his grief and he felt the wave of it wash over him, like a crushing force bearing down on his body. He had to stop his patrolling, had to remove himself from the situation being found like this. Torin pulled away from the border, sheltering himself beneath a solitary willow.

Torin hunched beneath the drooping branches, finally allowing himself to cry for the first time since the discovery of his niece. The tears fell silently and he remained stone stiff, unable to even fully succumb to the emotion even as he was now.
