The Chosen was dead. The Silver Lady. Gone.And he'd missed the funeral too.Jonas wasn't usually much for funerals. He always preferred to focus on living, and on THE living. After all, his faith was that theyd be back anyay in new forms. Given time, at least. And yet, there he was. A man in drab armor, standing in front of her exquisite tomb. A human  being for the first time in months. It was strange how weak he felt in the body he was born in. Feeling small, and alone, and worn out. Wondering what happens next.Finally he turned and stalked away through the cemetary back into Silverymoon proper. The graveyard really did seem like some foreign place...grey and taciturn and dead, compared to the seething vitality of the city. Just being among people again helped lift his mood a bit. As Jonas considered the question of where to stay, a smile even lit his face. It was a reminder that any rooftop, any barn, any inn or stable...he could call any of them home or none. Today though, he would play at being a man.A jingle of coins and some eminently refreshing flirting with a cute redheaded later, Jonas was the proud lessee of a room in The Brass Bugle Inn. He ate in the common room, relishing the...ordinaryness of it all. He then mingled in the crowds again...occasionally ducking into an alley to change form. An elf here. A dwarf there. A man, a woman...it was all the same to Jonas. And the rumors filled his ears with dismay. Gods, it couldn't be happening -already?- The League breaking?By the time night has fallen, Jonas' mind is working overtime; the redhead forgotten. The following day he turns down his usual job offers of tracking people, finding out what they're up to. Instead he turns his efforts to finding out what's being done about Citadel Adbar. He meant to be in on that. Silverymoon belonged to everyone now, and he was going to do his part.</blockquote>
