Hideaway Strath to gaze upon you everyday but be denied your touch

anyone is welcome!

As is customary of him, Roarke takes to the outside of the world shortly after Arturo rises — at the cusp of dawn as the sun just begins its rise — so too does Roarke. Typically, he waits until his father’s footfalls diminish and though his very great desire is to wander the borders and perhaps — if he can manage it! — the no-man’s land and neutral territories beyond the Strath he shies away from them not wanting to draw unnecessary attention to himself. If Lotte has awoken or noticed his routine absence too early in the morning she has not said anything …and even if she has it is clear that Roarke doesn’t listen. He has an incredible talent for taking in only what he wants to hear and blocking out everything else (oops). In the safety of the Strath, though, Roarke fears nothing simply because there is nothing for him to fear. He does not understand the dangers of the outside world, regardless of how many times they have been repeated to him, because he does not face them in the safety of Teaghlaigh’s borders.

As he grows so does his desire for the greater adventures beyond his home despite that he is of no age to go on them. So, for now, the winter’s bane settles for the adventures he can go on with minimal trouble earned for it, leaving the rendezvous den until it it out of sight, heading away from the heart of the territory with only the desire to explore what is still unknown to him and no clear destination in his mind.
