The market

[Maero]

Tiff was the first to hear, and the last to react. For a time she simply stared at her master, dumb struck, completely at a loss. Finally, however, when the full realization did dawn on her, her reaction would be unmistakeable. She fell to knees, losing all her strength, and began to cry. She crawled up next to him and hugged him close to her breasts, stroking his face and trying to comfort him. Neko reacted faster, but much to the same effect, hugging Alex as tightly as her small body would allow, burrying her face in his chest and crying there, her weak healing powers sinking into jhhim but doing little and exaughsting her quickly.

Lillia simply stood there for many moments, morning her master's pain and allowing the other two their time with him. "This...This is a test right? Its not...it cant be permanent...right?" If she was answered or felt that it would be she would sigh and remain where she was. She would allow Tiff and Neko some time with him...and then grant him the only mercy she knew. She would crouch down, kiss his lips, and as she did, snap his neck, painlessly and quickly killing him. Tiff would do the same, though not before many hours passed. It was a dark elf mercy, a quick, painless death...it was all they could give their poor master, who had everything already but this final mercy.
