Block stares at the scene for a second, trying to drink in the details after things so suddenly change.
Just barely audible, he mutters, "you sure know how to throw a party, X."
Snapping back from his reverie, Block first checks the time and date, more to reassure himself that he did not lose a day or ten in some fugue or dream state.
Then he remembers Leeson, and his medic training takes over.
"Two to team," he puts on the link, "anyone hurt?" Assuming that Mr. X and Ace are both okay, his focus turns entirely to the stunned rat shaman. He makes sure that his new friend is unharmed physically and magically, and then offers to help him get back home safely from the Park.
He knows that his new friend is grieving, and may not be thinking straight, anymore.
In a quiet moment, Block says on the overall channel, "Prime, Two. Red King is off the board, tonight. His two rooks are off the board permanently." He then adds, "if Red King ever comes back on the board, expect him to have turned."
Depending on how messed up Leeson is, Block may get Ace to help carry the shaman back to his home.
After seeing Leeson back to his lair, Block promises to return to check up on him. "I understood so little of what I just saw, and I have so many questions ... but all of that can wait for another time."
Block reminds Ace that there were wings for sale back at the EchoPlex. |
