Moonspear here to help you kill all of the hurt that you’ve been harboring

after such an embarrassing incident, arcturus was no longer hungry. despite slavik's good-natured, even gentle, handling of the situation, arcturus felt shamed beyond reason -- and found himself desperately wanting to be alone.

it was not slavik's fault -- and truly, the boy hoped the man would not take it to heart.. but he had to go. somewhere private, where he could lounge and wallow in his own shame, and eventually show up later (likely at dinner) with a sullen silence about him.

with a quick gaze at the deer to assure himself he had taken part in its felling, he gave a big sigh and stormily slunk off.

teenagers, amirite?
