"They don't," I am up and around the space, settling my coat around Lannie's naked form before my mind can even process what just happened seconds ago. "She's not dead, but it happened today." I am rubbing my hands up and down her arms, trying to warm her when she announces that, and I raise my eyes to meet Glass' from behind Lannie. Oh, I do hate this part of the job.
"I'm taking it for happening rather longer ago than that, but given Verdi suppose I could be mistaken." Well, that's... for Glass that's downright tactful. I point to a small crate behind her, because she clearly needs to sit down on something, then go back to trying to get Lannie warm, settling myself behind her and pulling her closer.
"It only happened today, how long're the two of you down here afore that?" Looking down at Verdi, I could believe that it's only been hours, but she is... was... a goddess. Maybe things work different.
"It's Monday, Lannie." I say quietly. "March 8th... and I haven't seen you in the bar since last Wednesday at the least... and honey..." My eyes meet Glass' again and I take a deep breath. "Lannie, I'm sorry honey but Verdi's gone."
