Aman entered the backstage area to sift through and attempt to find where she had put the piece of paper with the award she was presenting on, before a loud scream rent the air. She looked on stage and saw Piosenniel, Bethberry and Cami standing there, smiling just a little too innocently.
Pio was nearest the curtain. Aman forgot about her speech- the Downie could wait for a wee while, right now she needed to sort out what was going on there.
"MURDER!"
Aman glanced up, before hissing at Pio. "Pio, what in the name of the gods is-" She stopped, looking onto the stage past the elf woman, and saw the crumpled figure on the podium, its eyes closed. "Oh Eru, Mithadan..." She murmered.
Then she saw it. Just rolling out of Mith's hand, was an apple. With one bite taken from it.
