Stone Circle You've arrived at panic station

aw! set for late afternoon

His mood had not been as sunny since the event at the borders. He had just started to grow curious about the world again, but now he was too scared to venture very far from the den. Still, the cool breeze had drawn him outside when he had woken from his nap, and he had trotted out to sit and stare at the dark clouds that turned the sky a dreary grey. 

A bird landed on the ground a few feet from him and pecked at something on the ground. The little bear stared, in awe of its pretty blue coloring. A light grey was draped across its back and black ran down the sides of its neck and dotted its wings along with some white. He had never seen anything like it. For a few moments, bird and boy stared at each other silently. But Kallik's curiosity got the better of him, and impulsively, he took a step forward—and just like the the bird was gone, flapping its wings and lifting into the trees where it disappeared. 

The pale boy huffed softly and then slumped to the ground to pout. Maybe the bird would come back if he was still enough.
