Ouroboros Spine and decides to be a villain

thanks for joining! ♥

panther's steps slow as he takes the unfamiliar path, not wanting to over-exert himself or accidentally re-open any of the scabbing wounds by being careless. it doesn't feel like he's used to taking things at this slow of a pace: especially with a sense of purpose but in part he didn't want to think about the potential ear-full he was likely to hear if he injured himself again. the spine is habitable but most of it was murky swamp and water and not a place that panther feels like he would stay in for any longevity once he's healed and strong enough to make long(er) trips.

the sound of a voice cuts through the quiet stillness and panther's steps pause and he turns to face the stranger who's path has crossed his own. panther gives a small shake 'no' of his head at the stranger's question.
