Tormented Tarns oh, sinners, let's go down

Maegi might later regret bringing her small, pale child along on this trip. Not only was he a bit of a hindrance during the journey due to how quickly he tired, but he was fascinated with the outside world, so much so that he didn't think he could return to living in the shadows of Blackfeather Woods without leaving frequently. He loved the woods, as any Melonii born within it was bound to do, but he loved the outside world for other reasons.

Ena had introduced him to the wandering bug, awakening in Anansi a similar wild nature to Sobek's. She likely wouldn't love that when she realized it.

Still, travelling was difficult for Anansi, so his trips weren't likely to be anywhere near as long as this one. While Sakhmet wandered out to search for signs of Sobek, Anansi flopped to the ground beside Maegi, blind for now to the anguish that coursed through her as she grappled with her feelings of failure. In fact, he was blind to everything as he closed his eyes and slumped, wishing for sleep and only opening them again when Sakhmet called out. His ears popped up and he laboured to get to his feet, hopeful for some good news.
