Dragoncrest Cliffs Every single one's got a story to tell

East bowed his head at the commander's greeting. She was young, but he found that wasn't always a direct measurement of how capable someone was. He was not that much older than she was, and he had experienced more than enough hardship for one life time, at least in his opinion. Please let me know if I can do anything, he replied.

When the commander offered to leave them to finish their conversation, East nodded. Although he really wanted to wander off into the shadows by himself and process everything, he needed to ask his mom something. Assuming Blixen took her leave then, he turned to Helix. Where is Lava? he asked, brows furrowing in concern. She had referred to him as her other son, and it reminded him that his younger brother had left with when she did. He couldn't scent him on the border they were standing on or on his mom, and it worried him a little.
