"Oh... man. I'm sorry." Caspar has seen plenty of death, sure - but it's clear to him that this was someone Popp really cared about, and their death must have been... pretty grisly.

He doubts it would do the other boy much good, though, to dwell on it. Caspar is more than happy to move along to the next thought. "Better'n nothing. Probably worth asking that guy, at least - I don't think I've met him yet, though, so you'd need to show me to him if we're gonna ask about it."

"Flowers sound like a good start, if nothing else. Gotta be someone selling some back in town, right-- or, in Vorrun." Y'know. As opposed to Town.
