Dawnlark Plains talking trash under your breath

heavily edited because i can't read lmao

from a distance, the brown woman caught his eye, and aditya wagged his tail, happy to see her after so long. thin coat rippling in the breeze, he trotted to where she was, face falling as he took in the look in her eyes. it was clear this wouldn't be a happy conversation.

"hello, raid," adi greeted, smiling warmly nonetheless. "how are you lately?"

he had noticed she'd been absent, away from the others for a long time. he knew she'd participated in a few things, but nothing really since arriving at dawnlark plains; she seemed withdrawn and sad. he had hoped that she would settle in, become more a part of their family, but something was holding her back.

he hoped, now, that she would admit the truth to him frankly, and they could move forward from there.
