Blacktail Deer Plateau pearls and swine bereft of me

Probably a good place to wrap up and get this old thing archived. Thanks for the awesome and dramatic thread! I desire another one soon! :D

Atticus knew that things wouldn't go back to being all sunshine and rainbows immediately, that it would take time to sort through all of the emotional fallout in the wake of Tyrannus's betrayal and heal the wounds that had been left on his heart. And now there was the news that Tyrannus was dead, which added a whole new twist to the knotted mess inside Atti's heart and mind.

But for now, things had been patched up between him and Peregrine, and there was only one thing to do: "Yeah," he confirmed with a grin and a nod of his head. "We're good." Bumping his brother on the shoulder -- just hard enough to be a douche move and, thus, an affirmation that all really was well -- he gestured for Peregrine to walk beside him so they could catch up on the last few weeks that Atticus had missed while he was in solitude.
