"No--" Cade squeaks, and steps forward to catch her, but it's too late. She's down. He stands there for a terrified moment, clenching and unclenching his fingers, hoping and praying that she is not actually dead. Then she rolls over, and he searches her face for blood, his own white as a sheet. Is anyone here?? Did they see this, do they think he pushed her??

"Beleth," he weakly hisses, "...Beleth, please get up."
