"..." A most awkward pause. Erichthonios is not one to lie, and to say all was well, or to even mutely nod to such an assessment would be not only impermissibly untruthful, but a dishonor to those lives lost.

Yet, Erichthonios is also ill-inclined to paint a picture of despair, least of all when they had managed to save so many that would not have been saved otherwise. It was a work in progress... but they were working on it.

"The circumstances are better now, at least... though two keywards were lost in the events that transpired."
