Red Eye

It's nearly morning when Eldrie is discovered by Osmond, who'd been floating overhead, searching high and low for signs of the vampire bat. Osmond recognizes the master archer from above and dives down to greet him.

As Osmond lands on his feet, he senses something different about Eldrie. A familiar-sort of darkness. Osmond is immediately put on guard.

On Eldrie's end, he hardly notices Osmond. He clutches his left eye, from which an unfathomable discomfort emanates. 

"Hello? Are you alright?" Osmond asks, anxious to get any closer than he is.

Eldrie glances upward as if he has only just noticed Osmond's presence.

"Oh, hello, Osmond," Eldrie says, forcing a smile. He loses his footing and stumbles to the ground, catching himself before he completely faceplants.
