@Mirabelle <3 i hope this location is ok? i can change it if need be!
following his... conversation with samaantine, samothes takes to the wilds once more, searching for some truth inside himself that maybe he doesn't have. what's holding him to the creek? he's not seen thelxiope in weeks, constantine is busy with fatherhood -- respectable but offers little for him. his loyalty is a little misguided, he's realising. it's just... constantine's burgeoning claim had been the first thing for him to latch onto after leaving his childhood home, when he needed to prove to himself that he was capable of greatness in the way he knew.
without the spectre of winter hanging over him, and without that original drive, there's nothing tethering him. is that a sign to leave? or is that -- giving up, again, running away? irrationally he misses ----, and then hates himself for it. perhaps alarian will be out today -- for once, samothes is the one with a need to vent (ha!). but the glacier bears no familiar scent. sighing, the messeda boy leans into the ice, watching the trickle of water as the warm day leads it toward the lake, and wonders what his next step should be.
