[He'd first realized something was up when he'd tried to contact Elsa via the drone and gotten no response. After several repeated attempts failed, he'd gotten worried enough to go up to her ice castle and check on her in person. When he got there, however, he found it to be a slowly melting ruin. And that's when he'd known for sure that the day they'd both secretly feared would come finally had. 

He'd stayed there a little while, just looking at the ruined ice castle without really seeing it, before turning around and heading back down the mountain. When he comes on the network,  he's back in his apartment, expression solemn, and gaze averted from directly looking at the drone's camera.]

I thought you all should know... Elsa's gone. Sent home.

[He kinda trails off there, not really knowing how to continue. What else was there to say, really?]

And.... that's it, I guess.

[It was indeed. But it didn't feel right, letting someone else find out and make the announcement. He sighs.]

That's good to know. I might take you up on it sometime.

We both knew it could happen, so it's.... not as much of a shock as it might've been otherwise. But still...

[He trailed off into a sigh. It still hurt.]

I'll encourage you to. Wouldn't put the offer out if I wasn't all for it.

Still, it's... rough.

[Was a sudden loss ever anything else?]

You take care. Especially of yourself this next stretch.

[Slight smile.]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[And yes, it was definitely rough.]

I will. Promise.

Might just work on that suncatcher I still owe you to pass the time. Be good to have a distraction.
