Stavanger Bay Heavy Hearts

Greatly subdued by the news of the Jarl's death, Aesop came to the conclusion that he would have to postpone his next visit to see Alastor.  Loathe as he was to do so, he could not leave now.  Especially not for so long.  So even as calls still went up to mourn the loss of Ragnar, Aesop began to mentally plan just how to get that message out to his friend on the other side of the Wilds.

Finally, Thistle called for Aesop and Atreyu, and with a heavy heart he answered the call.  He howled to let her know he was on his way, then broke off in a swift lope to find her.

When he did, he saw that she stood with Charon.  Devastation and heartbreak hung heavy in the air, and it hurt him to see his friend so.  He approached and prodded her neck, her shoulder affectionately, hoping to provide some comfort.  Being verbally supportive was difficult, but this he could do.
