King Elk Forest Beautiful Beginnings

is he in a pack or a shakespearean tragedy of his own making? the besotted ophelia (more likely to be a forgetten mercutio, he would think bitterly, if he knew of shakespeare) sighs as he drifts by the borders. delight still wants to follow mato to the vale, if he goes - when he goes - but that would leave brienne, malice, and burke (and possibly jomyo) to handle the forest alone. things are quiet here, but strategically he knows it's flawed.

but he wants to. 

the vailë does not have too long to sulk -- there's a stranger's scent in the forest, well past the borders. for a moment he is alarmed, but mostly intrigued - so few visitors do they get, he almost thinks it must be someone mato knows. and then the stranger calls out and it's definitely not so informal and he straightens his shoulders and slinks up. "you always go traipsin' into claimed territories for an audience," delight demands, voice and face matched in prickliness, "'cause it's not a good look."
