So I have. A sudden turn, but not a surprising one-- I am more surprised this didn't happen sooner.

[he folds his arms, somewhat less grave-- fairly unbothered, honestly.]

[Ah, the range of emotions Chiron's been seeing today...

And though he doesn't laugh (as that would be so deeply inappropriate to him) something of a tired, amused sigh escapes.]

Yes... I remained hopeful as I could, but I am never summoned in times of peace -- especially if there is a prize to win.

And in its presence, some are ever too eager-- though perhaps one simply misstepped. I would not put it past many of them to get themselves killed, somehow.

[such high opinions of them.]

[antaressnipe]

[-- Oof.]

The deceased once told me she was a hero on her world... so I would hope that'd eliminate the possibility of an accident.

[He says... in a tone that remains lightly concerned]

Heroes are never infallible.

[he just shrugs, slightly.]

I should think the fact that she is dead proves that much.

[antaressnipe]

[Mm. Well, that is not untrue. A sigh on his end]

What did you make of the message we received?

Certainly not something I cared to wake up to. None of our guides that I have met seem quite the type to have arranged that, either.

[antaressnipe]

Yes, I agree.

While I would prefer tasteless mockery to malevolence, we don't know enough about this Realm to rule it out.

It had less a tone of malevolence, else I am sure it would have made some form of threat to the rest of us. Simply tasteless, I would think.
