Nov 9 2008 News of Eso's disappearance reached Xenina in her office. She left everything on her desk in place, for she didn't think her brain would work even well enough to put them away. She dropped her pen, but paid it no mind. She managed to get up and grab her coat. Wearing a brave face she told Conalae that she would be gone for a while and to please care for things. Not bearing to have anyone in the Town Hall see her cry, she quickly left the office before the tears could run. When she reached home, she closed the door and did not answer the knocks that came. She sat and cried in her bed until the night air made her shiver and she had to get up and close her shutters. Three days had passed since she had heard the news. Lately, she had still been able to function in the Town Hall, but she was still very distracted. Soon , she thought, I can truly mourn. There are 5 more days until I can leave for Wigtown and I can pay my respects by the river.
