Emberwood canine teeth and aspen eyes guard the wood

requesting a thread with @Kukulkan if you're interested? :3

The bard was conflicted with his heart, yearning like a calf for her mater's milk; there was a preventional vanguard composed of futile responsibility and guilt. The poor, pitiful failed son could go no where! He was left to be entranced by fickle aspens, watched with a tenacity that made him wary, to gaze upon the stemming, brittle fingers of the tall aspen in sorrow rendering no appreciation for its beautifiul nature — !  
What pitiful patriarch he would prove to be. More than once, the reckless boy had strayed off from his home to fiddle and flirt with a beautiful and flitting fae, more than once had he concerened himself with affairs that were not his own. The attracting heat the presided in the air of the congress of wolves only contributed to his troubles. His first heat, and he was to suffer through it and remain a sly virgin for another year.  

hope you don't mind!

Maia was ever the optimist, but as she traveled, she was beginning to lose faith that she'd find any sort of good news for Eljay. She'd seen nor heard no sign of Elfie or Weejay.  She'd wanted to badly to bring him good news, but instead she was just going to bring more disappointment.  She wanted to go home, but that thought kept her out.  Jeeze this was terrible.

At least it was a pretty day?  She squinted at the mountains before heading into the trees.  Northeast... okay.  Yeah she hadn't checked this way!  Maybe crossing the mountains hadn't been the best idea, but she thought she knew where she was, so it was fine! 

Still, it couldn't hurt to... there! Yes!  Um, hello!!! Do you, are you from around here?  She called out, spotting a stranger.  When in doubt, ask a local!
