Neverwinter Forest On the Doorstep

srry i missed this!! assuming its before he heads out to elysium

getting around the rockslide takes longer than he'd like, but his journey back to neverwinter is uninterrupted otherwise. there comes no more ominous shaking, despite the tension that coils in his muscles, some deep, primal part of him screaming FLEE, NOT SAFE HERE, FLEE. (he pretends he does not notice the small prey animals doing exactly that, focused on finding his sister and his friend.)

the earth spasms once again as he nears their border; okeanos darts forward, afraid of being crushed under a tree or rock. he seizes upon mal in the near distance and barrels toward him, stumbling a bit as he does, and nearly wraps around the tree mal is closest to in the instabilty, demanding, "are you okay?"
