[Poly Entry 21:] Endless snow

[Turning on the device, Klarth settled it onto his desk while slightly pointing it out the window. The ground still covered in a blanket of white snow that seems to never end. Staring out at it himself, he tapped his writing utensil twice onto a piece of paper with some notes on it, before allowing his thoughts to be heard in a soft mumble.]

Looking out this window reminds me of the time we spent in Ary, heh. Seems like it was only yesterday.

[He glanced towards the camera and gave a small smile.]

I'd like to inquire the citizens of the City. Is anyone aware of how long these conditions will last or at least an estimate?

[Acha.. he might have said too much;; He should have known Tyr was the type to keep quiet of these things.]

A-Ah, I might have overstepped it a bit. [He gave a regretful sigh.] I'm sorry but I can't answer that, Gremio. I don't think it's my place to be speaking of things on his behalf, especially without him knowing.

[He gave a weak smile and gave a nod with a tilt of his hat.]

[axeofoath]

[Gremio understands--truly, he does! But his concern for Tyr overshadows everything, and he's on the verge of working himself up into a nervous fit.]

B-but--Y-Young Master, he hasn't said anything to me...W-what could have possibly happened? Could it have been prevented? I-if only I could arrived here earlier...!

[closetpervert]

[Ohhh boy.... he was going to have to apologize to Tyr for this one;;; Perhaps he didn't know the balance after all;;;]

Now now, calm down. [He heavily sighed.] I was simply following your request to keep his business private. [Hmph.] Besides, what's done is done. If he still feels he needs a comforting hand, I'm certain you would be the first he consults. There's no use in thinking of what could have been.

[axeofoath]

[Nothing can stop Gremio from worrying! Rather than calming down, his fears simply grow worse, though he's almost ignoring Klarth.]

W-w-what's done?! H-how horrible--and he hasn't-

[But Tyr's privacy..Klarth has a point. Gremio's shoulders sag in defeat, not helped by the fact that he has an idea of what the troubles might have involved. His master has been especially worried about his "curse" lately.] What could have...Young Master...

[closetpervert]

[Ahh.. this is hopeless;; He gave an uncomfortable grumble.]

Ah, my apologies for giving you unnecessary stress and concern. That was not my intention nor should it have lead to this.

[axeofoath]

[He's not any happier, even if he stops freaking out. Knowing that Tyr may have gone through something terrible, and there's nothing he can do to change that...]

He...he is safe now. [An effort to convince himself more than anything else.] I-I must simply ensure that he remains that way.

[closetpervert]

[That was more like it.]

Aa, the future is what's most important after all.

[axeofoath]

Yes...absolutely.

[He may not have been entirely convinced, but there wasn't anything more he could do. Now that the energy had drained out of him, he came back to his senses somewhat.]

Ah...Klarth, I--My apologies.

[closetpervert]

There's no need for that. It's perfectly understandable. [He just silently hopes that he doesn't put him in an odd place later with Tyr;;]

[axeofoath]

Not at all...I'm afraid that I let my emotions get the better of me.

Klarth, I should be thanking you for looking out for him all this time.

[closetpervert]

There are others who have played a much significant role than I. Besides, he's a good man, who knows how to handle himself well. You've truly nothing to worry.

[axeofoath]

Yes...Yes, he truly is. [Still, any pride in his voice is overshadowed by the worry he just can't banish that easily.]
