Emberwood the uneasy life of the wanderer

after the breakdown but before meeting easy. i really need to work on this timeline lmao

the days spent within the territory no longer felt unbearable. each tomorrow seemed to melt into the yesterday prior, so instead of being constantly reminded of her confinement, she had the option of simply ignoring it. yes, ignoring the cage that pygmalion placed her in. bhediya would say that she'd been forced, but when the door was opened, she'd walked in by her own volition.

and then there was awol. they knew little about one another, a fact that bhediya assumed was due to the boy's aloof demeanor. it was caused by arrogance, a side effect of youth, but one that he would likely come to grow out of. 

avoiding him wasn't an option. they were both leaders of this pack so they needed to have a basic relationship, at the least. besides, bhe felt that awol had a strong future as a leader either here or elsewhere; he needed guidance, lest he lose himself to the title.

after a moment's thought, bhediya approached. fatigue was obvious in her expression, though she tried to mask it with a smile. what're you up to? she asked in an attempt to spark a conversation.
