[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 5254185, member: 46559"] Tristan works to bind the old man's wounds, succeeding in stabilizing the old man for the moment despite Hacker's sadistic prodding. The priest coughs and responds in a thin, but steady voice. [color=wheat]"Yes, I am Serevas, a priest in the service of -- aah, that stings! -- of Mireva. I..."[/color] Father Serevas, already slightly pale from loss of blood, goes white as a sheet at the mention of this name, and sways dizzily for a moment before Tristan's hands catch him. [COLOR=lightblue][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=4][COLOR=DarkOrange][COLOR=White][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana] The priest winces again, making no attempt to hide either his recognition of the names or of his dismay at hearing them. The faint lines in his face darken, and suddenly he looks much more human than half-elven. He opens and closes his mouth several times before words finally come out: [color=wheat]"Karse. So. I take it he survived the attempt, then? Well, not survived, of course; merely escaped complete destruction. A shame. I had hoped... My sin in making the attempt can never be expunged in this life, I know, but I had thought that at least the consequences to others were at an end.
