Jade Fern Grove Just ignore him, that's what I do.

He stared at her owlishly as she told her story. Blink. Blink. Okay yeah that's pretty weird. I mean I heard people saying stars could represent people that weren't around any more but not like.. the other way around. Or at least, gonna assume that was said because Reasons. Well, that and more abstract stories. Not anyone who was totally wandering around normally, for sure. How was that all like.. supposed to work? The idea of a ghost or spirit or something made sense to him, but a god or people being reincarnated from various things seemed kind of outlandish to him. Then again, the world was a pretty bizarre place in the first place.

But what did that mean for her in the long term? Yllka was just out here all on her own and she didn't know what to do or how to hunt or stuff? And.. What are you gonna do then? If Terance was still around, he was sure that he'd totally let her join the pack if she promised to learn stuff, but his mother would be far less forgiving -- and probably that Kaertok dude too. And he wasn't sure lying about it would work very well either.
