Stone Circle and i've lost a few good friends along the way

AW - tags for reference <3

there was no rejoicing in indra's dulled gaze as she sat outside of the den, all but absent despite being laid silently across the sunstone. @Laurel was inside, and along with her, @Riley, charles and @Louie. indra could scarcely bring herself to look upon them; she either felt overwhelming hatred, or drowning guilt -- both of which rose up in her belly like a vitriolic cloud.

she skulked. she lacked the wherewithal to follow through with her convictions, and loathe as she was to admit it, she was too soft. her betrayal she spoke of to no one. the puppies were far too young to form coherent speech, and the only witness to her crime seemed to be the river.

crossing one thin limb over another, indra rested her head and reminisced. oddly, it was @Casmir that floated to the forefront of her mind, an inexplicable ghost that had not resurfaced within her memory for some time.
