Kieran meant it, she was sure, but Morwenna had to close her eyes for a moment to push down her emotions. The ever-present sorrow was there, of course, but along with it was a white hot shard of anger at the world that had let Mason die and her live on. It wasn't fair to take it out on the man sitting with her though so she took a deep breath instead and gave him a tight, bitter smile.

"Thank you for coming at such short notice, I'm afraid my patronus must have sounded a little unhinged when it reached you."

Which barely scratched the surface of how she felt, but it was better than admitting she had lost her fucking mind and would he mind terribly helping her burn the rest of her world to the ground?
