Ravensblood Forest cold door handles

@Siqsa maybe ?

he's not quite certain why @Tack hasn't flown south in preparation for the cold months, but he's grateful for the bird's continued presence. if concerned. the songbird spends a lot of time buried as deep as he can get in the thick fur between cortland's shoulders lately, perhaps hiding from the cold. or maybe just from the outside world in general. he can certainly understand the desire.
occasionally he'll chuff to the bird as he travels, mostly to alert his friend to something of interest — sometimes just because he's bored or lonely, too. the strange bleeding forest he's found himself in presents a mix of reasons to get tack's attention; it's certainly interesting, and for some reason it makes him feel a little lonely. but he opts not to bother his friend. birds need sleep too, right? he halts near a tree, studying it, and is reminded of how he'd met his tiny companion. the memory brings a faint smile to his face; a rare, fleeting expression for the ghost. it feels strange. but good.
