Ankyra Sound i'm gonna buckle my knees, and i'm gonna lock them up tight

ingram looked again to the briars, and then to arrille. "for protection!"  he exclaimed, trying to step around the brambles he had left carelessly in the den. "dunno if we'll need them, better if we don't, but better if we do and they're there. right?" he winked as he managed to jostle past one of the briars that obstructed most of the entrance of the grotto. sunlight came in bright shafts and he stepped into the outer rim of the world, breathing deep of the sound and the brine.

"fine, if you don't wanna talk about it i guess we'll talk about me instead." ingram stated, a scallawag grin on his features as he turned to face arrille. he would respect arrille's wishes if he declined to share his thoughts, but it did not mean he would forget something was troubling him.
