Settling somewhere closer to functional and farther from shock would be ideal. She reaches out gently and touches Zerxus's shoulder with one hand and almost, almost touches... Evandrin's cheek before she falters. About face. She walks to the other end of the room to get whoever in the Ring is awake.
Evandrin keeps talking softly to Zerxus as she walks away.
"I wish- I wish I could-" This time the pained expression is more emotional than physical.
"There's something happening, in another city, I can't tell where, but it's... Someone is amassing power, a lot of magical power, and Zerxus--"
He gasps, and there's blood in his mouth, a thin red patina that he chokes on and then spits to one side. "It's going to... come to Avalir. A cataclysm, a-"
He doesn't get a chance to say the title, wheezing from internal pain instead.
Again it's selfish. It's so, so selfish, but-
Evandrin lifts his free hand to the back of Zerxus's neck. "I want to kiss you again so badly."
He makes a sound like amusement. "What does it say about me that it's all I can focus on?"
