FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Abby & Clarisse
RECIPIENT: Everybody
NOTES: Uh, about morale being understandably low...


(This isn't something Abby knows how to embellish or talk around, a blow she can't hope to soften. Her crystal clicks on; she breathes in first, a quick pull.)

Ellie's gone.

(That's all. She can't think of what else to say.

Clarisse must be close, because she leans in and adds,)
I'll make sure the griffons and the stables are taken care of.

(She thinks about adding "for now" or "until we figure something else out" and then doesn't bother. Who cares, anyway.)
