Haunted Wood that ending wasn’t worth the wait

famine hadn't slept much lately, mostly at the fault of his adopted siblings. spending time in the den was becoming less optimal as @Leshen and @Arwen grew, forcing the similarly growing boy to find other ways to spend his time. he woke up earlier than normal this particular morning and walked himself to the cache, where he grabbed a small snack for himself and for @Vanity to share.

he told her about his plans for the day and left with a slurred farewell, his mind still recovering from the relatively sleepless night before. after leaving the den, famine walked back to the cache for seconds, then called for @Valour, hoping that he might get some response.
