/Mine?/
/Mine? Somethin's wrong, Mine./
"What else could be wrong?" Z'marin asked forlornly as he sat in his bed somewhat numbly as he acknowledged his Weyrwoman's death and Grenth's disgusting voice whispered through his mind of her loss. "I know that Maai's dead."
/No, Mine... Tarisk. She's done and gone missing,/ the Blue said slowly, staring into space, his mind quite simply overwhelmed by all that was happening.
That had been several minutes ago as Z'marin raced through the halls searching for Tariv? Where was he? Where was he? Finally, Garanth had the clarity of mind to ask other dragons whereabouts the Green had disappeared from.
/The Weyrwoman's roomthings, Mine,/ Garanth offered pitifully, wishing desperately to be able to help more, but help more he could not. Z'marin's heart was pounding, and his grief for the Weyrwoman was altogether forgotten for the grief of Tariv's loss. He ran, he ran, he made it to the Weyrwoman's quarters, but he was kept away. The youth begged to be let in to see Tariv, Tariv, the one with the brave Green who had tried so hard to save the world? He was nearly in tears, something that did not become him, as his cheeks became quite blotchy. He stopped himself though when the man at the door explained that Tariv had left the room already.
"What!? The man just lost his sharding wher and you let him walk off on his own? Maai's already dead, she can't die more, but you can keep a man from offing his own damn self on top of that! You're a DRAGONRIDER! You KNOW this!" Zim was whispering heatedly. As brazen and horrid as he was feeling, he had the clarity of mind to keep his voice down for concern for Mairin, be she planning or grieving. Faranth, Zim hoped she had time to grieve. The thought might never have crossed his mind if it wasn't for Tariv's need. But nobody ever said Z'marin was mature for his age. He desperately demanded directions for what way Tariv had gone.
Ultimately, he followed a trail of wher-handlers and bleary eyed day-folk all the way back to the Wher quarters. He sighed, Tariv was a creature of habit sometimes. The young Bluerider bit back his tears and leaned his forehead on Tariv's door without initially knocking. Tariv had to be in there, and Z'marin had to go to him, but now that he was here, his stomach was dropping a mile a minute.
She was gone. Forever. Death had taken her, and Z'marin, in his youth still shallow to some extent, wondered if it would have been better had she never been born at all? Or... No. Z'marin knew. Were it not for Tarisk, Tariv would have been broken. But... The Bluerider knocked lightly, and started to try the door. Whether it was locked or not, Z'marin would not know until he tried.
And it came to me then that every plan
Is a tiny praer to Father Time...
Is a tiny praer to Father Time...
/Mine? Somethin's wrong, Mine./
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU
That reeked of piss and 409
I rationed my breaths
As I said to myself
That I'd already taken too much today

As each descending peak on the LCD...
/No, Mine... Tarisk. She's done and gone missing,/ the Blue said slowly, staring into space, his mind quite simply overwhelmed by all that was happening.
...Took you a little further away from me

Because I could not stop forDeath
He kindly stopped for me
