Elphaba has just "melted." In reality, she faked her death. But niether you or Fiyero knew that. Boq and Brrr (the lion) were out in the midst of the celebration near Dorothy, who was skipping along happily with Toto in her bag and those wretched silver shoes on her feet. You couldn't bring yourself to hate the child, no matter how much trouble she brought you. She really had no idea about anything going on...
You had arrived at Kiamo Ko very soon after the melting took place. You're a rather influential figure in Oz... yeah, this is not the first time you've had to unwillingly sit through a death celebration for a Thropp sister.
You noticed the Scarecrow- who you were unaware was Fiyero- sitting outside the door. He was doing even worse of a job at hiding his feelings than you were- he clearly was NOT having fun. He went inside Kiamo Ko after getting sick of hearing people saying 'ding dong, the witch is dead' over and over again in their song. You were also sick of it, so you followed him. You found him sittimg by the trap door. You couldn't tell us he was crying for some odd reason or if he was just being a Scarecrow.
"Hello?" you say. Fiyero flinches dramatically.
"O-oh, uhm, hello..."
