Sleeping Dragon strik-skyplei

Gavriel does not run at full speed—mostly because he feels unsteady on the mountain—and allows the younger girl to catch up with him. It doesn’t take long and when he turns head to look back, he’s surprised to see the joy from her face gone. His eyes widen and he isn’t sure if he should keep going or stop, but there’s something in the back of his mind that tells him not to stop. Why? He shakes the question and eventually, slows, curving a circle so he comes around to try and face her so he can see the jovial expression on his face. Which, surprisingly, he has a hard time holding on to all of a sudden.
