Yeah... Guess it won't take long to work out where everyone was.
I don't suppose you noticed anything that night, involving Kon?

It's fine. I can't guarantee I would've noticed anything, either.
[Well, it's the evening and Zelgadis couldn't even bring himself to go somewhere to drink. He's just out on a bench somewhere, looking absolutely hollow and miserable. A pile of black and blue flower petals are on the ground around his feet.
He glances up to see Rynlan, and looks back down to his feet.]

There must have been something I could have done...
