TARA: Now that you’re finally here, come with me. We need to talk to the druid.
FETCH: The what?

PANEL 2: Tara gestures toward the Druid, who smokes a long pipe and eyes Fetch warily.
TARA: Blodwen, this is my brother, Fetch. Fetch, Blodwen of Carrowmore is a druid with powerful healing magics. Ma has been under her care.
FETCH: Oh. Nice to meet you.
BLODWEN: It is.

PANEL 3: Tara speaks to Blodwen, Fetch looks annoyed.
TARA: We were discussing Ma’s condition when you came in. Blodwen, can you catch him up?
BLODWEN: Well, there’s not much to say.
TARA: Trust me, there is. He’s very behind.
FETCH: Hey!

PANEL 4: Blodwen speaks to Fetch, blowing smoke nonchalantly. Fetch is concerned.
BLODWEN: Your mother’s cancer is beyond my powers.
FETCH: What do you mean? She’ll die?
BLODWEN: I can’t say. She may have weeks or months. Only the goddess knows for certain.

PANEL 5: Fetch is pissed, Tara is shocked.
FETCH: Fine. So let’s ask her.
TARA: Fetch! Don’t be rude.
FETCH: So what are you saying? It’s hopeless?
TARA: Jesus!

PANEL 6: Blodwen gives Fetch a withering look.

PANEL 7: Fetch is chastened, Blodwen is less disdainful.

FETCH: I’ll be good.
BLODWEN: Thank you.
