Fionna turned to Konsa, gently sitting her brother in a chair. "Can you try to calm him? I have to go tell the others..." she asked, biting her lip. "I promise I won't take long..."

[catmint]

"Y-yeah, sure." He sputtered out, standing by Kyle. He turned to him, setting a hand on his shoulder. "It'll be alright." He said softly to Kyle, trying to comfort him.

[Anime_Freak]

Kyle clutched the pendant in his hand. "I... I can't do this... If he's gone.. Then that means... I'll have to take his position... And I just can't..." he said between sobs.

[catmint]

Konsa grimaced, patting Kyle's back. "You don't have to think about that right..." Konsa murmured, "Just try to calm down."

[Anime_Freak]

The girl from earlier came up to them. "Kyle.... Mother wishes to speak with you..."

Kyle nodded and stood. "Thank you, Marie...."

Marie nodded as well and walked off.

His mother came to him. "Kyle... Know this is too sudden, but while you were here, the elder council ruled that the coronation be as soon as possible...."

Kyle sighed. "If that... Is all we can do...." he said, his crying slowing so he could dpeak.

[catmint]

Konsa's shoulders slumped, "Does this mean he isn't going to be coming back to the school?" Konsa asked Kyle's mother.

[Anime_Freak]

His mother frowned sympathetically. "Sadly, yes.... He has responsibilities here and he must keep them... But of course, you are welcome to stay as long as you would like.."

Kyle looked at Konsa. "It would be nice if you would stay for the coronation though..." he said, biting his lip.

[catmint]

"Oh..." He said with disappointed, he glanced down at Kyle. "Yeah, of course." Konsa replied with a weak smile, "How long until the coronation?" Konsa asked Kyle's mother , glancing back up at her.

[Anime_Freak]

His mother thought for a bit. "The closest we can do it is tomorrow...." she turned. "I will consult the others... " and with that she left.

Kyle slid a hand into Konsa's, hooking Konsa's fingers with his own. "Thank you for staying...." he murmured, standing.

[catmint]

Konsa nodded, "Of course." He replied, squeezing Kyle's hand. He glanced at the ashes wistfully, "Uh, do you want to go back to the bedroom?" Konsa asked, not wanting to be near Kyle's father's ashes any longer.

[Anime_Freak]

Kype nodded. "Yeah.... We should go..." he said, and with that, led Konsa out of the room and down the hall.

[catmint]

Konsa walked with Kyle down the hall, stiff and graceless. He slowed to a stop when they reached the large bedroom, Konsa stepped inside and glanced back at Kyle with an concerned expression. "You alright?"

[Anime_Freak]

Kyle didn't reply, his expressionless face and eyes glued to the floor. He suddenly jumped. "Hmm? What?" he asked, looking up.

[catmint]

"Um, never mind." Konsa said, shrugging "Do you need to be alone?" He asked quietly, "I understand if you want to."

[Anime_Freak]

Kyle shook his head. "I need you here..." he murmured, squeezing his hand gently.

[catmint]

"Okay." Konsa nodded with a light sigh. "Is there anything I can do?"

[Anime_Freak]

Kyle shrugged and went over to the bed, plopping face down on it. "I don't knoe..."

[catmint]

Konsa followed Kyle, sitting on the edge. "Why don't you get some rest? I think you could use some." Konsa suggested, leaning back on his hands.

[Anime_Freak]

Kyle rolled over obto his back. "Sleep in here with me?" he asked quietly.

[catmint]

"Sure." Konsa said, shrugging his shoulders lightly. He settled down next to Kyle, turning on his side.
