Emberwood the uneasy life of the wanderer

most of what awol said was forgotten immediately after. the issue wasn't disinterest, but the genuine inability to pull herself from the dissociative state she'd entered. still, bhediya tried to pull together the pieces that she was able to retain.

i feel useless, awol admitted. it was a sentiment that bhe could relate to. being able to empathize with packmates was what made her a decent counselor, after all. you got us our first alliance, right? the meeting with kavik and ibis floated in and out of view.

that's impressive. i've been to almost every pack and still haven't had the courage to ask for one. courtfall, blackfeather, rusalka, kaistleoki, easthollow; had she really been there? another round of trips was in order, she thought. how did you do it? 

it was just a ploy to get the boy talking. bhediya knew how to ask for an alliance, but awol seemed like the pretentious sort. she thought that he might benefit from a brag session. we can walk and you can mark the borders. get some stuff off of your chest while you work.
