His startled gaze rose to include the femme as she approached, her icy tones piercing through the fog of madness that threatened to overtake him. Incredulity reigned in his chocolate orbs, their path never wavering from her superior visage. How dare she intrude upon them, and with such venom. Apparently Queens weren't above playing with the lives of the low-born peasantry. His features hardened considerably as he was criticized for his apparent 'lack of realization'. How off base could one be, really? The male released Death's hands, turning to squarely accept all of the frosty accusations flung at him, their delivery marked with reckless abandon. -Carelessly misplaced?- he repeated softly, keeping his anger at bay for the moment. -You are mistaken m'lady, I knew exactly what I had. It was she that chose to leave my side, she who chose to end our little tragedy with her departure. You think this makes me happy?! That my life is suddenly in order?! How can I hold on to something that isn't there anymore?- His piercing gaze refused to waver from hers, his open expression almost demanding an answer to his questions. The manner in which the lady spoke to Death elicited a rage from the man; he couldn't believe the poison that seeped from every word that fell from her lips. -How can you attack her like that? How can you pass judgement on her? Am I to assume that you know one another?- The broken-hearted brute didn't wait for an answer, the insanity of the past few days was weighing heavily on him and he wasn't quite able to support the burden anymore. -Queen or not m'lady, you have no right to barge into the personal affairs of others and assume that your opinions will be upheld. Just because you wish it doesn't mean that things will work out- His words had tumbled unheeded from his lips, even he knew not what he was saying. Reeling from them both, he braced himself against the wall, struggling to hang onto the shred of sanity that remained to him. DoT's words had sparked a flash of hope--a flash that threatened to destroy him completely. Could Echo still be found? Could he see her lovely face once more? Could he behold those marvelous pools that expressed the soul of their owner so clearly? Her form, her voice, her scent.... It was enough to drive him mad, and in fact, it probably had. But what about Death? She was still here after all; she hadn't left him. But what did that mean really? It was all so confusing and torturous and maddening. Harsh sobs wracked his body as he clung to the wall for support, his dignity all but gone.
