[ From the (apparently incidental) post on the network, Tatara can tell something is very seriously, deeply wrong. What it is, exactly, he can’t say -- and it doesn’t matter, anyway. Point is, he’s on his way, dropping whatever he’s doing to head to the Temple of Ra right that instant.
What he finds when he arrives is half-unsurprising, and half... absolutely so.
Mikoto is engulfed in flame, in a way that his clansman hasn’t seen since they were mere kids, (or, one of them was, at least). But what’s alarming isn’t that -- it’s the black crawling over his skin. Blight? No; something else...
This happened to Mikoto after Tatara’s death, too, but the latter doesn’t know that, for obvious reasons. So, to see it now is... well, horrifying, frankly. But he won’t let that show for more than a moment before recovering as per usual. ]
King...!
[ He doesn’t ask what happened -- he already knows. If there’s rubble to be found lying on top of Mikoto, he’ll pull it off, visually checking the Red King over. ]
Are you hurt?
[ The answer is obvious, to some degree. That black on his skin isn't normal. ]
