Amidst the valorous victory of the siege of Breakwater, a saddening news mellows the joyous mood for the County of Malkovya. It is the grief of House Colborn to announce the unfortunate passing of one of our kin, Lord Arn Vilmer Colborn, the Count’s younger brother. His life was taken during the siege upon Breakwater Keep, where he fought bravely in the name of Gud and for the good of the Kongzem, and died a noble death on the battlefield. 

 

His body was recovered from the remnants of the keep and was transported back to Malkovya, his home, for a proper funeral according to the tradition of his kinsmen. To honor his life and his ascension to the Seven Skies, a small memorial service will be held outside the Basilica in Haense. During this time, House Colborn will enter a period of mourning, and asks for privacy to grieve our lost kin.

After hearing the news in Valdev, Arn's mother let out a choked sob as tears filled her eyes. Unable to hold herself up in the realization that her beloved child was dead, Liridona crumpled to her knees in the snow and let out a wail.

 

That night, the cries of a heartbroken mother carried out throughout Mondstadt.... Liridona was not seen for several days.

Arn's cousin, Theodosya Amador, mournfully signed the Lorraine over herself. "Mea dear coz, may vy rest easily."
The redhead sought to locate her aunt, who was surely in the depths of despair upon her son's death! @Cheese

Fiona Vera Anastasia Colborn receives the announcement in the depths of her wizard cave and looks over it with a particular silence, recalling the young man's spark of life she had seen in her youth. Pacing the breadth of her apartment, Fiona allows herself a moment to reminisce, uttering a quiet prayer with a motion of the Lorraine. "Another crushed in ve great war machine," she murmurs solemnly to her spider companion, allowing the arachnid to clamber between her hands. "Unfortunately, a good man lost. It is always a misfortune to lose eymr kin... ea pray he finds rest."

There she was, poised before the unknown Colborn with warm smile. “Hej, kin.” She ushered, Elia Eryka beckoning the fallen Colborn along, welcoming them to the skies with an offered glass of fresh goat milk.

The Count Colborn wept in his chamber for several hours before he had the strength to throw open the door. He'd been to funerals before- of course he had. He'd even helped the former Countess host a few.

 

He never thought in a million years it would be for his brothers that he held one.

Henrik Amador prepared to don the blacks for his little cousin, face grim.

"Blood for blood."

[Wavey 1446]

The youngest Amador and the youngest brother of the fallen Colborn remained silent whilst he read the letter. That night, Benedict stayed inside of his brother's room, refusing to leave even when he was called for dinner. 

"Borsa is brave." He murmured in a soft tone, his voice conveying a sense of grief. Perhaps Benedict should be as brave as him.
