Tamsyn couldn't help the slight, sad smile that twitched at her lips when Asla told her to speak plainly. How many times had her father said the same thing? She appreciated it though and it allowed her expression to grow more serious as she spoke, cutting away the softness to her words as she told the Reaper what needed to be said - what she hoped would help keep her friend alive and safe from himself. "When your father and I found... them. He threw himself into hot embers and it was all I could do to keep him from laying there and letting it take him too. He begged me to leave him be, let him die." Her expression darkened as she recounted the events, but she forced herself to keep going, knowing she could go wallow in her own memories once this was done.
"He threw me off of him when I tried to pull him away from the remnants of the fire. I had to try countless times before I finally shoved him away. He threatened to rip one of my limbs off, cursed all of us for still needing him." As she spoke her tone continued to grow more and more strained till she finally had to stop, gritting her teeth for a moment as she collected herself so that she could continue. "I... I needed someone else to know what he was like. How broken he actually is - because I'm sure he'll try to hide it. I've tried to kill myself on multiple occasions, I know what it looks like." It was blunt, but it was all she had the ability to give right now.
"Please just... Please keep an eye on him. Keep him from doing anything stupid. I'd do it, but I have to go back to The Hallows. And he's... He's directing his hate at me right now so I don't know if I'm the right wolf to do it anyway." That probably hurt her more than it ever should. After dedicating so much of her life to supporting him, to being his General, to being his friend, to be shoved away when he obviously needed it most... It stung.
