Deepwood Weald Hanging from the rafters

He could only hold still for so long. It had been too long. He needed to find @Simmik, and though @Keres had said to stay put and not go look, he now found himself back in the forest where he'd found the last evidence of his beta. He needed his friend back, with or without Moonspear behind him. If they were going to sit around and do nothing (and assuming no backdated thread, that did seem to be the case), then that meant Mal did have to do something.

What? He didn't know. Snow and gloom made the dark forest darker, it was probably noon but looked more like early evening. Evidence was the fight was long gone -- he wasn't even sure he'd passed through the right place -- and now one tree looked much like another. He didn't stop, nor did he call this time, it was just Mal moving through the trees.
