Neverwinter Forest 'cause i never stayed long

to artkos, the awkwardness that lingers between them was nearly painful. he can see it, as if it were a palpable thing hanging like a sharp, jagged rock suspended betwixt them. it is, perhaps, why arktos makes no moves to stop the dark pelages man when he takes his leave.

not a name is uttered between either man, and arktos is arrogant enough to believe it unlikely their paths would cross again.

he does not dwell long, returning to his task and with a plump rabbit fattened for winter still between his jowls, he makes his way back to nephele.
