Neverwinter Forest We'll overcome - together we are one

A wave of anxiety and hurt erupted from his spine when Ondine expressed her disappointment in him. He flattened his ears, and scowled to mask the panic blooming in his skull. A prickly, white-hot thing, that nearly blinded him. But the attention moved on from him and she stepped away to address the others while he remained standing where he was. He swallowed thickly, thinking of Cypress, his mother, and his siblings—why was he the only one who cared? Here he was, the last vestige of the former Neverwinter willing to stand with Ondine.

Rian looked to the group who consisted of himself, the violent pirate, the demure she-wolf, and Ondine. His heart sank further until he could no longer feel it and it was only then that he roused himself to step up to the side of the Alpha female, asserting his position in the pack with a nervous twitch of his level tail. "We can at least bring back some rabbits. There are warrens to the west, near the flowerbeds." He glance towards the Alpha female, hopeful his suggestion bridged the hurt between them, at least a little.
