Firefly Glen shadows will scream that i'm alone

skipping nechako since jeebs is on hiatus <3 -- @Charon and @Jarilo do either of you, or both of you, want to post again to wrap up? doesnt matter to me! im ok with PP to conclude

just as arcturus cajoled for play, nechako's long face rose from the rifling grass and looked to some unseen vantage in the distance. arcturus froze, feeling ignored -- (feeling was not the same as experiencing, for nechako had an ear turned upon the dark cub, unknown to arcturus).

it was with a frown that the boy huffed, feeling spurned by the horse's attentiveness elsewhere -- but it was then he noticed jarilo, who was quite close -- "RILLO!"  the boy yipped, flouncing to his brother with a flurry of affection, the horse forgotten (and charon for the moment, also unnoticed).

once a suitable amount of affection had been meted out on his grey brother, arcturus caught sight of his father -- as he bounded then to charon with nibbles along his father's leg, he realized the horse was gone -- doubtless it had strolled off during the family reunion, searching for less busy grasslands in which to graze.
