Who: Khadgar
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Twin Roses
When: Day after the shuffle

Ah...

[If anyone is used to seeing Khadgar, awake or tired, he looks much more tired than usual. And appears to be in the middle of packing a few things up in a box in his room.]

Those that know her- [He refuses to use past tense.]

Merlan O'Keefe is no longer part of the fleet. [He turns and neatly sets a necklace i the box, on top of a warm-looking cloak, the closes it up. His room is still a bit of a mess but it's all him now.]

If you're looking for anything, let me know. She mostly stayed in my room. And she didn't leave notes or anything that I found yet. Sorry.

[Super funny.] Good! Because if you said you were alright then I'd have to call you a liar or find you some serious psychiatric help.

[Then he switches to a more serious tone.] If it's any comfort, it really seems like people are sent home when they vanish. [He's pretty sure Merlin wasn't dead back home. Otherwise that was not the right thing to say.]

I a- [And he stops himself mid-objection. Because he isn't and Vash is right.]

I figured. I'd rather she be home rather than treated like entertainment. [He hopes it's better for her anyway.] I would have taken her with me to Azeroth.

Yeah? Azeroth didn't seem too bad a place to live. What little I've heard and seen of it. But no thoughts to go to her world?

It did cross my mind but... she convinced me to take on at least the title of Guardian. And it would feel wrong not to go back to Azeroth when war is about to break out.

Yeah, stopping a war seems like a good reason to go back home. I hope there is some way to prevent it from starting in the first place.

We were trying. We made contact with the Frostwolf leader, Durotan, to join forces against the orc leader but we were ambushed. And the orcs later killed the king of Stormwind.

[He'd really like to avoid a war, really.]

[Vash almost wants to ask if the leader was a literal wolf made of frost. He decides against it.] Ah, killing a king. Hard to have people just calm down after something like that. Was he a beloved king?
