At first, today was going to be good. A day to beat the odds, for man to triumph over nature, for dreams to come true. But now...now it was more like as if today was entirely set up to give false hope, and a whole lot of heartache. Magnus felt his heart soar when he saw Kyle, and, just as Kyle plummeted, he felt as if his heart was burning in his stomach, eyes looking on in horror as he fell. [color=FF5353][b]"KYLE!"[/b][/color] he bellowed, before running, undoubtedly a bit slower than Yang would, given her size. Arriving just after she would, he stared in horror as Kyle's body was made visible. Shakily approaching, it would become very clear to Yang that Magnus was unaccustomed to death of any kind. His pained expression held the eyes of someone innocent to the world, clear tears streaming down his face and onto his chest and the tufts of silvery hair that spilled down past his shoulders. [color=FF5353][b]"K-Kyle..."[/b][/color]

Dropping to his knees, Magnus carefully pushed the rubble of the plane away from Kyle's broken body, taking great care not to have any of it fall and crush him. Staring in absolute disbelief, Magnus slammed his fist into a tree that wasn't supporting the wreckage of the flying machine, leaving a massive dent in it, and a noticeable tilt to its stance as it pitched a bit away from Magnus' blow. [color=FF5353][b]"T-This can't...he promised...you promised, Kyle."[/b][/color] he muttered quietly, his nose leaking a bit as he held Kyle's torso up a bit with one arm, wiping his own tears and snot with the other to keep it from falling on him.

Shakily rising to his feet, Magnus gulped, trying to swallow his own sadness as he gingerly picked Kyle up. Covering him as best he could with a length of cloth, Magnus looked to Yang. [color=FF5353][b]"I...C-Could you...get someone in town? H-He wouldn't want to be seen publicly like this..."[/b][/color] he said, trying his best to remain composed and failing, his eyes puffy and red. Magnus stopped talking or moving suddenly, before he started weeping. [color=FF5353][b]"T-T-Talia-a-a..."[/b][/color] he groaned through his sobs, sinking to his knees.

...Today wasn't a good day.

Nephele was thankful that she'd spent time reading "Horses for Dummies" in anticipation of her future life on the road, but actually driving a wagon was a little nerve wracking. Every bump felt like certain death, and every time the horses looked away, she was afraid they'd just run in different directions. Her worries were unfounded it seemed, as the horsed obeyed her directions. It wouldn't be long until Mahigan was in sight, and she could rest easily knowing that Talia could be saved...hopefully. 

Nephele agreed that someone had to stay with Talia, but felt that she could certainly find someone faster than Neil could. Before she could object however, Neil was already off, her protests left unheard as she sat at the head of the wagon. Left alone with Talia, Nephele was glad to hear the Cyclops speak, turning towards her and smiling as she spoke. [color=A9A9A9][b]"It certainly was good that he found you. And erm...this is a set of spare clothes Neil had on hand. I hung my dress out to dry at the guild, and had no other clothes available."[/b][/color] she explained, turning around to give Talia her full attention. Smiling at the cyclops, she said: [color=A9A9A9][b]"We'll find someone. I'm certain,"[/b][/color] as she felt that, even if he was weak, Neil was most certainly dependable. He'd pull through for Talia. And, Nephele would pull through for him on her research. Now, she had to keep Talia occupied with some small talk. [color=A9A9A9][b]"Might I ask what you did for a living before joining the guild?"[/b][/color]
