Stone Circle Beetle And The Bard

Chaska accepted the nudge, but did not return it. He instead answered her question, his voice empty of emotion. "He won't be coming back. I made sure of that, when I left for several months." And almost died in doing so. As well as a heavy weight on him. 

"Always. I always have...And I guess I always will" he replied. "It's painful to see everyone you know and love die." He felt sad at saying this. Painful memories. "Well, now you know." And compared to other times he told his past, he wasn't too happy this time. But it did feel somewhat good to get it off his chest. Again.
