As the group files out of the tower, Kine lags behind slightly. Before the others get to far, he clears his throat akwardly and waits for them to give him their attention. He is look rather anxious, and rather more lucid than usual.
"My companions, friends. I am afraid I have lost my way again. When I was young, I did not know my path, but I sought it with passion. When I discovered it, I grew overconfident. Sure of my destiny, I rushed headlong into a world that I was not ready for. Recently, with you, I have learned the errors of my ways. Down in the darkness, with the death and loss, I found a part of myself that I was not ready to face. Fear has driven me from my path, fear which I should be able to master, but instead it weakened me. I need to return to my homelands, and train until I can find my way again. I am sorry to leave you in such a manner, while there is work to be done, but I am afraid it is neccessary. I hope you will forgive me, and I hope I will see you again in the future."
