Emberwood Vilipending Loneliness

Spook, of course, had not a clue what was going on inside the guy's head, but he felt like the atmosphere changed. He'd asked an innocent question but the responses? Not what he was expecting. Not that Spook often knew what he was thinking but he was in a dark, unfamiliar forest at night and there was this dude here who had been kinda creepy.

That feeling was coming back. He was suddenly really wishing he wasn't so far from home. And that last response? Totally foreign to him. Like this dude was basically an alien. Spook took a step back, even if it might not have been necessary. Um. Well. Mine's my family. So I should like.. Go home before uh.. Mom misses me. Probably. Another step back. If he could just be allowed to casually walk on out, that seemed like the best response. Spook was not equipped to deal with this sort of thing. 

After seeing what he'd done to the beaver, he was just not too keen to have it done to himself. There were still times when Spook still imagined himself a small pup, and this was one of those times.
