"We can try and put it in the water supply." He may or may not be joking. He probably isn't.
Howard rolls his eyes and shakes his head. "As if she's the only one to ever lose their best friend. Of course, the way her brain works, she probably thinks she is."
He bites down on a pen cap again, pushing the thought of Orc away. Dwelling on it means dwelling on the thought that he's permanently lost the only close relationship he ever felt he had. Or dwelling on the idea that maybe it wasn't that close after all. He slides into a new analysis. "She's not looking so hot healthwise, either. I'm thinking the Horanckk thing, plus health problems...but of course she'd rather be a poor martyr than ask for help. It is Anwei, after all."
