Sorry, can't. [ He sighs dramatically, the veils puffing up under his breath. ] Tis a blessin' and a curse.
[ The music continues, and if anything, intensifies. Not out of his own anger to the suggestion of leaving, but the idea does not sit well with him. ]
Because the first loss was a tragic accident, and the next two were not among our number. That is a cold thing to say, to be sure, and I do not mean for it to be. I only wish to present you with the facts as I know them, and I will be the first to admit I don't have all of them.
[ He spreads his hands, bow in one and violin in the other. A welcoming gesture as much as a shrug. He is open to answering anything he is able to. And there's another mental nudge at the connection, this one not as gentle as before. Like a hand gripping a shoulder with the intention to steady, just a little too hard. ]
Talk to the nobles about taking leave if you like, but I will stay and complete this pilgrimage, and help if I am able. I'd rather the murderer of the two Descendants be found, as well as any other enemies that may be lurking among us.
