"Olive," Rannoch breathed as he loped onto the scene of the crime; the smell of blood overwhelmed him and the fur along his backbone spiked because of his uneasiness. By the time that he reached the Matron's side, Rannoch had made some assumptions about what he was about to discover. From his vantage point, Rannoch could see the broken body that she cradled— the presumed origin of her grief.
The world spun beneath his paws suddenly, and he lurched a step sideways as an abundance of impertinent thoughts overcame him— this was all so wrong, and it was too late to evade the consequences that would follow. Somebody had been killed on Sunspire's borders.
"What happened?" he managed, his voice strong.
Movement from Olive's side caught Rannoch's awareness, and suddenly, he realized that her children were with her; his priorities changed within a heartbeat. Without a second thought, Rannoch tipped his head back and requested @Seabreeze's presence with an inflection of urgency. She would take care of them, he knew.
He turned to Olive then, his voice wavering as he said, "They don't need to be here for this."

a crime so old as the sky and bone
he came untied, solid as a stone
all is almost lost and it starts to show
