This is proof of Daevryn's point. I detailed what happened specifically in the note, and what's more, it was the subject of the immediately prior painting I sent around. Evidently even people who read them don't really read them.

Bez was in the sands of sorrow looking for a particular exit to another area. He was with two others, one being an invoker. The invoker used an area spell at an inopportune moment, drawing a mob in, a human soldier. Bezzilan was also brought into the fight and he got the last blow on the human mob. That was the first time he'd ever killed a person and it sent him into a real tailspin. The times I said "Don't talk to me!" and abrupt things like that were during this period of his stay in the abyss of despair. I gave it a bit less than a week real time, and when I could find her, I had a talk with Rayihn (all ic) and he got over it, in a role based way.

So yeah, he was drunk even more than usual during that period, but it was really all part of his self loathing for having killed someone, that human mob.

I really hope you didn't take it personally, it was all role based. And I liked the Sluvira character a lot, was interesting and fun interacting. Don't sell yourself short! And thanks for the kind words, I appreciate them.
