The screams of the men are replaced with the screams other victims he could hear taken to this room. Screams and pleadings for mercy before there is a sudden, eerie silence followed by the sound of something heaby drafted out, or the wheels of a cart rolling out. Or those who tried to fight and were beaten mercilessly to silence, their fate unknown but could sometimes be surmised by the talk he would hear later.
Even his own on the first day...
The pain that comes from his arm is what pulls him back to the present, not realizing his right hand had moved over to press against the hardened crystal of his other hand. Instead his eyes see the carnage Benedikta has left and meets her gaze, his own still calm despite the slight grimace.
It must seem strange how calm he appears despite off the mess. No anger or relief, not when concern over her actions. There's just... Nothing.]
