His question left her in silence for a moment, really wondering what would prompt such a thing. She hadn't seen Laruku so maybe he was still sick. Maybe the blindness was just one more thing that the sickness had stolen away. “The same thing that happens when everyone else dies,” she finally said, shrugging her shoulders. She didn't know what to say or what he wanted to hear so she could tell him. She couldn't cure blindness and she couldn't cure death and those were two very real things she had accepted a long time ago. Well, at least the death part. Letting her blue-eyed gaze drop to the ground, she asked a question of her own. “Is he dying?” It seemed childish—of course they were all dying—but she wanted to know. How soon? How long until the inevitable end? Would Rachias blame them all for that too?
