Chefson Corbeau, Pewter Ironworks, Mistwarrens
As Corbeau and the other person-whose name Corbeau still didn't know-reached the warehouse, Corbeau felt his eyes start to tear up. At first he thought that it was due to any surviving flames that lasted through the night, but he soon realised that that was impossible. After thinking about it, Corbeau understood why he cried.
It was the determination. The spirit. The potential.
This person had done a very thorough job of destroying the warehouse. It was inspirational, really. The way that this person had wanted to destroy the warehouse and had just gone and done it...such ability. Such passion. Such a shame that it was so misplaced.
As Corbeau knelt on the ground, he noticed things on the ground. Footprints. Two sets leading in, and one leading out.
Somebody had died in there.
But Corbeau did not weep for that person, they did not let themselves. People die every day. This was just another of these people. Not something to be sad about.
Corbeau hated that he had to remind himself that.
"Footprints," Corbeau whispered to his new acquaintance in case he had not seen them. "Leading in. Let's see where they went."
