Haunted Wood that ending wasn’t worth the wait

valour thought.. what? vanity's not mean, famine corrected him with a firm head shake, but she's got babies. and last time, i hurt her. remembering the slow trickle of blood down his caregiver's abdomen brought his ears back once more, a shiver traveling down his spine from lingering guilt.

it probably didn't matter, though. valour wanted to do more training, and famine would happily oblige. he shook out his fur, puffing up his growing hackles with an attempt at a growl, then pounced for valour's shoulder.
