Stone Circle Bitter

Days following Thistle's death, and Evergreen no longer in critical condition.
AW! Maybe @Ira, if you're interested? ❤

Evergreen is unaware of how much time has past. The days he spent floating in and out of consciousness were tormented by nightmare after nightmare. He often found himself waking with a jolt, and wanting to deny the events as reality. Part of him refuses to accept it; his mind firm in saying that this was all just a bad dream, and he'd wake up to see Thistle staring at him in bewilderment. He wakes up in a den alone, however, and swallows the sorrow he feels immediately. His right eye a permanent reminder; a punishment because he wasn't there soon enough. The bearish wolf slowly gets to his feet, still feeling weak, and stumbles outside his den. He doesn't wander far, just enough to find a patch where he can lay in the morning sun. He crosses his forearms and rests his chin over them.
