She sniffled loudly and, for a second, Alan thought he saw a completely DIFFERENT woman, with sharp features and much, much younger, sitting in the chair before him.Al Oak blinked and saw the OLD woman again. He thought he might be going mad.She kept sobbing for a few more moments, but eventually looked back at Alan with her odd stare."I know...I shouldn't have come! They told me you'd come back on your own...in your own time...not to rush you...let you come to terms...but..."She blew her nose loudly in a random piece of fabric that Alan had lying on the table, started to really cry again."The...the...the...queen is dead! Things are going badly...I...WE...were terribly worried about you, Aloe...I couldn't just LEAVE you here to die, princess!"She kept wiping at her nose with the pretty, patterned fabric.* * *</blockquote>
