[ There's a small cough before he continues, which only really adds to the sense. ]
Something's gone wrong. There was an explosion; Valdis and I shielded the others in the room. [ He pauses, only long enough to cough once more. The smoke is still in the air and, more importantly, still exiting his lungs. ] She... didn't heal in time.
[For a minute Anton doesn't answer. He has to make sure he's got control first. When he answers, his voice is even, but edged.]
Has someone taken her to Milyn?
[Anton hasn't experienced it himself, but he's heard of Foreigners dying and being revived. Skulduggery died and was revived, albeit back in his skeletal state. Milyn is the one who would know the details of the times before then.]
We just got out. Do you want to meet me there? Or I could report back.
[ Seeing as Cain understands Anton's emotional state to be of vast importance, he's giving the younger man the chance to realistically gauge his own reactions. Whether being there would be safe or not. ]
The explosion doesn't appear to have been deliberate from what sight I caught before we left. Apparently that salt needs to be handled more carefully than you'd think.
[Not good, but aimless rage is something Anton is at least familiar with. In its own way, it's more manageable if he can see the damage. Wallowing without knowing is when it gets harder.]
I'll meet you there.
[Anton just hopes Valdis won't take as long to revive as Skulduggery did.]

[Not seeing can be worse than seeing, depending on the cause. Don't think he missed that coughing, either.]

[ And the feed cuts out, considering he was borrowing it off this helpful foreigner that happened to be nearby. How nice! ]
