Broken Antler Fen for every child who was ever born to pain and asked why

Y..yes.  My parents.  Ashlar answered it hesitantly, still not sure this wolf was okay.  He hadn't answered, after all.  The boy crept closer, but stopped when there were about two lengths between them.  He wasn't willing to close the distance completely.

I w..wanted to find my own.  Ashlar added, trying to inject a bit more confidence into his voice.  It worked a bit with the volume.  D'you?  The question 'have you' made more sense, but nerves had never been conversation helpers.
