Ravensblood Forest french exit

  samothes is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a tender man, and despite his expressed concerns for @Thelxiope does not remain faithfully by her side as one might expect. that is not to say he does not check on her (particularly in the first few days after her return) but placing someone else above himself on his list of priorities seems a distant dream at best.

 he does think of her, though, and after a casual sweep of the borders in the early light of dawn the messeda makes his way back into the forest. his leisurely search for the sea nymph is paused only by the capture of an unfortunate mouse in his path, a quick meal to offer the woman (or a snack for himself if he can't find her easily enough.)
