[EDMUND.]

Eddie trailed into the lounge wordlessly, hands shoved deep in his pockets as soft hues flitted about the room. ❝ Everyone gather 'round. ❞ He uttered, shifting from foot to foot as he stood in front of the crackling fire place.

— edmund looked as unreadable as ever. leave it to him to look so impassive after such a devastating blow to the group. was any part of him falling apart on the inside? fred looked at the man for a moment before finding a place to get comfortable and listen to whatever news eddie had to say.

[EDMUND.]

Lips were pressed tightly together to form a thin line, a permanent frown etched onto his features as Eddie waited for people to arrive for today’s meeting. If people were hoping for a pick-me-up then they’d come to the wrong place; what Eddie was due to say in today’s meeting was nothing short of catastrophic for the group. He craned his neck to the side, stretching out tense muscles, before he began.

❝ First of all, I’d like to welcome Odessa and Beckett to Flintlock. If our coffee supply runs short, we all know who to look at. ❞ Eyes flitted towards Odessa momentarily. It was the closest thing to a joke from ever-so-deadpan Ed, but perhaps the hint of a bland smile would suggest that he was only kidding.

❝ Anyway, there was a Valentines Day event in Northstar District. Glad to see most of you could make it. ❞ He swallowed hard, slowly nodding his head to himself as he pondered over how he was going to announce the next point.

He bunched his brows together in thought, features sobering, until he said plainly, ❝ We opened our home up for a group seeking refuge, but earlier today it was found that they'd disappeared during the night... not before breaking in and stealing our supplies. ❞ His features were grave, gaze searching the group. This was why Eddie felt wary extending his hand out in kindness; people tended to abuse benevolence, and Ed felt like he'd failed everyone for this mistake.

❝ I cannot play down the gravity of this issue as I think you all must be made aware of the arrangements in the coming weeks. ❞ He held his hand out, tapping his thumb to signify his first point. ❝ Currently, our food supplies are more or less nonexistent. I'd like for arbiters to visit surrounding groups in hope for any trade deals to focus on replenishing our food supplies. At least we have the greenhouses, although crop yield hasn't been fantastic over this winter, so- ❞ He tapped his pointer finger. ❝ I'd appreciate it if carers can take extra care when tending to the plants. ❞

He felt sick to his stomach as he tried to work around this issue, although features remained plain. Unreadable. Next point. ❝ We at least have eggs from Brendan's brood, and we have rabbits we can slaughter and survive on in the meantime. Again, any carers willing to collect eggs and prepare rabbits would be appreciated. ❞ Next point. ❝ I saw a migrating herd of reindeer further down the mountains, and so I expect there will only be more. Any sentinels willing to go down hunting? I don't know... much about reindeer, but I wonder whether there is a way to take a couple and maybe farm them in the village. ❞

He sighed in thought, finally lowering his hand and glancing off to the side to stare out of the window. ❝ Lastly... I want enforcers to search for this group. There were many injured people so I imagine they can't have gone too far. I'd like to have a word with their leader. Off you go now; dinner's probably ready. ❞ He folded his arms across his torso, chest rising and falling slowly as he watched the others quietly.

What had he gotten them into?
