Phoenix Maplewood darling, a bad romance

fading <3

unknowingly, he had been admitted into Saena's inner circle of companions -- had he known, he would have made more of an overjoyed exclamation about it. however, he did not -- he offered her pretty face a little smile as he fell into step beside her. 

there was a beginning here, he felt. Donnelaith had been the end of his first phase; he couldn't have stayed there. but the Maplewood -- this could be phase two. plot twist: Casmir was a geek. he had family here -- and there was no girl to distract him

he could grow. he could heal. Casmir walked beside Saena with more elation in his heart than he had felt in some time.
