It's been quite some time since he's seen anyone, and Castor is quickly wasting away. The boy's steps have become heavy, his body gaunt and sour with sickness. Starving had been the worst pain he'd ever known before the sickness set in; now, it is the screaming of his painfully-tight lungs that takes the place at the top.With these feelings plaguing him constantly, it was only a matter of time before he gave up. The ragged, too-thin form curled up in the snow only yards from the territory's namesake looks almost nothing like the fluffy bright-eyed youth that had departed his home. He's a shell now; too weakened by hunger, sickness, and hopelessness to respond even to the insistent nudging of an unfamiliar nose at his shoulder. If he bothered to look up, he'd realize that a bold coyote, as young and starved as himself, had come to inspect him — to see if he's fit to make a meal of yet. But he isn't dead yet, and it seems that the scrawny coyote doesn't think him quite worth a fight even in this state. The creature only backs up a few paces and circles, waiting for the inevitable.
