It was too warm for the boy even with his pale coat, and so when prompted to go for his daily excursion to the hillside to watch the sea, he had flatly refused. The boy had struggled his way to the back of his hovel where he now sprawled, feeling the comfort of the cool stone on his underside. He was drifting in and out of a half-sleep when he spied a flash of white fur who he assumed was Maegi come to give him more medicine. He drifted from that point on—feeling the warm summer winds pass in to the hideaway, listening to the sounds of summertime bugs and birds, relaxing—
Some time later, there was a change in the air. The call was urgent and specific, rousing the boy from his laziness. He recognized the voice as Reed, and also that the message clearly called for help from the medics—and a feeling of dread slipped through him then, settling deep in his bones. He looked around for the pile of seed that he expected Maegi would have left him, but there was nothing. There was a flash of movement as one of the healers bolted away from the boy's hiding place.
He struggled a bit to get to his feet, but managed to find his way out of the hollow by following the wall. Walking hurt but his ribs were mended, so at the very least he could investigate what was going on by himself. It was not wise, but the tension in the air made him try regardless. Mou staggered as he went, feeling the twinge of sharp pain in his lower back every few steps, but he did not stop—the path was clearly marked by the fresh trail of the others, and he was eager to see what the call was about.
As he arrived, he realized he'd gone much further than he'd anticipated. His pain had clouded his sense of time. There was Reed—she cut a sharp figure beside a pale whiteness—and with a sharp gasp he realized that pile of fur was Maegi. Putting strain on himself was not wise but he wasn't thinking. Mou picked up the pace and slouched against the sand nearby once he finally made it over to the two of them—his eye was wide, and he let out a whispering whine—
