The Straw That Broke the Baron's Back [PK]

[__Stal27 262]

Eugen Barclay would grit his jaws tightly, his eyes lined with faint tears while none fell as he inhaled sharply, he thought little about the letter in his hand presently, having expected wholly separate, upon reading the content of the letter the man would grit his jaws firmly, his eyes lined with subtle tears while none fell as he inhaled sharply, picking a tree by him, the Barclay would subject it to his punches, birds retreated whilst wild animals ran at the mere sight. The Barclay would soon rest his forehead against the bark of the tree, panting whilst his hands bled.

 

 "Ich am sure Du will be happy with my choice Konstanz, Ich am sure. Ich await the day that Ich can see Du again.. one day." would be all the man said dragging himself to sit in solitude whilst he gazed at the brightly lit campfire, quickly pocketing the letter among his most valued possessions.

Adrian receives his letter, a moment of excitement washed over his young visage before fully reading the contents. He stopped, the lad who always had something to say was for once silenced. Instead of leaving his home, he just recoiled to his room, reminiscing the memories and those that could've been formed.

Juliya Barclay clutched her letter close to her chest as she retreated to her room. Despite her previous hushed concerns for her cousin's whereabouts, she never truly thought he could die. There upon a cold mattress in Reinmar, the young woman allowed herself to cry until she fell asleep. In the morning, her tears would try and she would join the search party to retrieve the Baron's body. Tonight, she would mourn.

Adrianna Darkwood neé Barclay has been thoroughly numbed by the pain of death already, and thus hears of the news of her younger cousin's death with a coldness to her. 

 

"Ein parent should never have to bury their child." She murmurs quietly, drooped and narrowed eyes drifting across the parchment in her hands as she sits at her desk in the Hospital. "Ich learnt that the hard way. Ich am sorry, Spritzen," She thinks of Johann. "This must be hard fur du."

Sibylla Barclay turned cold after reading the letter. The oldest Barclay never thought she'd lose one of her siblings so soon. "It's nicht fair." She choked out, tears falling from her eyes.

Borris Iver Kortrevich watched as the body fell from the mouth of the crowdrake. Perhaps it was skill that had landed him that shot- but no, surely Godan had intervened. Hastily, as if it was the only thing he could think about, Borris picked the body up and threw it over his shoulder. He made his way back up the mountain, yet decided to duck inside a crag.

 

The body was careful set on the stone. Yet the young Lord did pause in this moment, for what he was not sure. Mustering up something, Borris examined the poor mangled body. Tattered cloth of green and blue. Mud stained blonde hair. The Kortrevich exhaled deeply before calling out to the others. “Et’s him. Et’s Konstanz- we have him”

 

The words were but bittersweet. Borris removed his cape and wrapped it tightly around the body. Once more, he bent down to pick up the body before making his way to the crest of the hill.
