Wapun Meadow The Joyless Luck Club

though verbally piper implied that things were alright, stigmata knew right away that something plagued her, and that this wasn't some light-hearted traipse from the stonewalled valley. he looked her up and down, but unable to place the source of her distress, he decided to ask: "going somewhere important?"

by now he knew that lucas was gone, but as someone who had lost many family members to tragedy or wanderlust  (close siblings included) and simply moved on with his life, he wouldn't immediately understand that there was a new dedication to her life, and that it involved finding her missing brother. (literally) a lost cause, if you asked him.

he stood at her shoulder and tilted his smoky head towards her curiously.
