Neverwinter Forest she feels free.

Mal, meanwhile, was back to feeling pretty glum. Look, he got to be happy for like maybe a day before Cupid woke up. Now after that nice revelation when everyone was together, of being reminded of what happened... how long ago? It felt like forever, so many other things had happened. It all still hurt, but at least a few more days had gone by.

But just because he might feel like garbage, it didn't stop him from going and doing the stuff he was supposed to do, he'd just give Cupid space. Aibreann could do final delivery of food to him, or he could give some to Caerus if they weren't glued to each other still. Patrols and hunts to do. And after catching a young rabbit, he brought it to Miriam. Most of the time he just dropped it and left after a little bit of play with the pups if they were about -- but today was different apparently. He actually stopped mid-stride for a moment, blinking as he spotted Miriam outside the den. That wasn't normal.

Was she still against the whole talking thing? He didn't know. But he still gave her a couple of amiable wags of his tail, continuing forward to drop the rabbit at her feet. I hope you're doing well. Let me know if you need anything, yeah? It was a polite thing. He fully expected she'd shy away and not answer, if she hadn't already, but he gave her the chance, as he always did -- he just might not try as hard as normal to get a reply.
