Larksong Grotto Ray Bans

pokes @Jhala

His head was still in a whirl as he left the comfort of his cave. Though the worst of his grief had passed him by, Reek was only prompted to move by the loud grumbling coming from his his stomach. It had been so long since he had a proper meal -- his already meager form was recedeing fast. If he did not find food soon, he would be nothing more than rag and bone; a walking skeleton condemned to death.

This was not an option.

There were many reasons for Reek to cling to life. First and foremost, there was the pack who depended on him to lead. The wolves of Larksong Grotto had always been important to Reek, moreso than himself -- but curiously, they were not the most important driving factor to survive. Strangely, it was Seff, Vuk's child, that motivated Reek to provide. Somehow, the newborn had wormed his way into Reek's head. Perhaps it was penance or left over paternal instinct: either way, it didn't matter. All he knew was that the child needed Reek to be healthy enough to provide.

And so, Reek takes to the banks of the lake in search of a miracle. Not long into his search, a blessing under the guise of honking geese catch Reek's attention. His eyes widen and he set off towards the sound of prey. Watching from a distance, Reek spies Jhala carefully keeping watch over the flock. He moves toward her in silence, careful not to spook the only chance they have.
