Derix stopped himself from trembling. "I couldn't do anything about it." He hugged Angel tightly, then looked up at Dayna, trying to look calm.
Dezera make an 'ok' sign with her hand. She sat back down on the log and stared at the fire, dancing around in the air. "You can join me if you want." She genstured to the log.
Maeve: After successfully trapping a deer, I skip back to camp with a smile on my face and the deer over my shoulder. I stop when I see Angel and Derix.
Angel ~Rubs his back then pulls away~ Come, she wouldn't want us acting like this ~She turns to Danya~ Beatrice she-she died ~A single tear drops down~
Angel ~Looks at Maeve and nods, silent tears dripping down her face, then she turns to Derix~ What happened?
Dayna: *pats Angels back, sadness slightly showing on her face* A shame but, we must carry on strong. She would want us to continue on in her honor instead of wallowing. Yes?
Derix closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. "A-a tree fell onto the shelter she was building. It was so fast, I didn't know what was happening. It had originally headed for me, but Beatrice, sh-she pushed me out of the way. In the end, the tree crushed her." He was trembling as he said it.
Iona: ~Shrugs and sighs~ Well it doesn't matter to help her if you all grieve. ~Looks at Derix~ Where is she?
Derix looks at Iona, then at Angel nervously. After debating about it for a while, he pointed in the direction where she came from. "I think she'd want a proper burial, instead of us crying here. She wouldn't want her death to be a waste." He calmed himself down.
Iona: Yeah, of course, thats the custom isn't it? I was going to do that even if she doesn't want us to waste time. ~Walks toward the direction Derix pointed me to and glances back~ If any of you feel like burying someone you can help me either by helping with labor or making something to ease labor.
