There's a flicker of faint amusement on Ellis' face, gone as quickly as it came. No, maybe not Edgard, even if Ellis had wondered if someone familiar with the land would be able to better reach the people still stubbornly making their homes here.

"Passable," Ellis says, eyes on the ground. "Hold the torches for a moment, would you?"

It takes one well-placed throw to shatter a window. Ellis' face is creased, apologetic, as he winds up for a second throw.

"We're lucky to have gotten here so early," is what Ellis comes up with to distract from the moment. It feels profane to do this in front of Lucien. "The land might recover after we burn what we can."

"That is some comfort, I suppose." Though it isn't the life he'd wished to save, it is better to make way for new life than fixate on the lost. But still. "I shall count it a blessing that we are not forced to destroy stained glass. I would not be able to keep from weeping."

It's a little bit of a joke, but under the present circumstances? Also a little bit true. Looking out over the barren streets, the burned and hollowed out husks of houses, he wonders about the people who lived here and their lives. Were they happy? Certainly not during occupation, but before that, surely.

"Are the bodies safe to be moved?"
