The Sentinels all hope in eclipse

Lucani's coat drenches the man, and Aria blinks in surprise as she watches it happen. She did not think to do that, and makes a mental note of the situation for future occassions. But as time slips by-- slowly even in such a chaotic moment-- the pale princess cannot help but feel selfishly. Casmir refused her, and with every passing second she feels that Lasher will leave her to her lonesome. She loves the man-- more out of respect and lust-- but love all the same. If he goes now she will have no one left, and that is a pain she refuses to face. 

As Lasher begins to babble and call out audibly, Aria finds herself numbingly silent. She steps forward-- past Eilidh who had just shown up-- and presses her nose to his neck. She prods him gently, whispering gentle calls for him to wake. She is of no use to the rest of the healers-- and probably in the way-- but she cannot think of anything else to do. He was a man of many words-- perhaps words would wake him.

But they do not, and for a moment she swears she can feel his soul-- the word that Osprey had given her-- leave his body. It rushes down her spine and falls into the earth, leaving Aria to flex her paws in hopes that he might grasp at her black pawpads. She raises herself, but her head hangs. She stares at his unmoving eyes with sadness, but she feels nothing but numb.
