[now that his mun's off hiatus he's a little less irritable, Mat's finally getting around to checking up on everyone. And he only sounds slightly grumpy.]
...You're back here safe and sound, then?
[/Maya]
[Egwene]
I'm back. I got dropped in the bloody pond....but I'm back.
...Don't ask.
[/Egwene]
[Tamaki]
You'd better be resting. If I find you back in the pond, I'll drag your sorry, woolheaded self back to the infirmary myself.
[/Tamaki]
[all in all, Mat's starting to settle back into a better mood. Sure, he spent a week being nagged by a bunch of girls and yes, it turned out his reasons for going on the expedition were pointless...but at least he's back and everyone's relatively safe.
When Egwene doesn't answer her filter though (not even to nag him), he has to go looking for her. He almost suspects it... this will be the third time one of "his" girls has gone quiet and it's always the same. But it doesn't make the sight of the empty nameplate any easier to take.]
[over the journals, there's a loud banging sound, followed by a violent bout of cursing]
-white livered son of a goat! I hope someone burns this bloody place down to the light-forsaken ground! Light take you! Light take every bloody piece of you!
[another banging sound... and he goes silent. Anyone wandering through the 14th floor hallway can find him slumped against the wall by an empty room, holding one bloody hand from punching the door.]
