Ankyra Sound See the thing is I'm so sorry to say

They watched the beach together from the ridge. Illidan spoke and initially the warriornwas too distracted by his feelings to really hear it - but as the words registered in his mind he nodded; his friend was wise. Or maybe optimistic. Either way the sentiment was a good one and Firefly appreciated it. They were both disturbed by their failings and yet, both knew that it was not the end. Together they would find a way.

When Firefly shifts his attention away from the dark canine shapes on the beach below it is to glimpse Illidan, and for a moment the boy looks mighty; his expression reads as determination while his battleworn body is that of a man's. He finds himself thinking about this boy's power and the changes that may come in their shared future - and then turns to face the forest beyond the rise. He keeps his ponderous thoughts to himself for now.

It's a good thing I'm such a stubborn asshole then, he quips as he begins to stride along the path towards the forest. His sides are heaving after the hike up the hillside but he isn't ready to stop yet.
