peehaps it was in poor taste to joke about the sufferings of others, but Hemlock did not know them personally. he barely knew Deathbelle, and she was the only Klein he had ever spoken to. he shifted on the ground, rolling his rear briefly as he thought of what to say. though she hadn't been angry with him, there was clear disappointment. he was ever the gentleman though, apologizing to a woman if he irked her. frankly, he did care what opinion the empress had of him and didn't set out to make her upset. "jest aside - your people sound strong. too strong to care what a lowly vagabond says about them" he added in with a more genunine emotion.

her emotions once again threw him for a loop. as she practically cried in front of him, Hemlock frowned and resisted placing a reassuring paw on her shoulder. "you came to this event after losing your spouse" he said, stating, at last. looking directly at her after she avoided his gaze. his head shook as if clearing himself of a bad memory. "it isn't my business what you do in the end and you may not want my opinion but... do not force yourself, Deathbelle" he said gently "loss is a hard subject. we all take time to heal in our own ways. just... remember that. honor your spouse. mourn them in your own way."

his grin returned as he smirked. "and if anyone has a problem with that, I know you are quite fond of using your teeth." he gestured to his still-healing limb, hoping to draw her mind away from her sorrows if only for a moment. to remind her she was still a strong leader, and capable. even if she felt like she was doubled over from a punch in the gut.
