Blackfeather Woods I'm starting to notice a sound

It was strange. Scared, dumbfounded, as Zephyr came out of his trance he sought only to bury himself in the comfort of the dark, chocolated-coated other. Rowan who spoke in disturbed riddles and religious sound bytes. Rowan who was only a boy, like Zephyr. They seemed to fit more together than she he and Taikon ever had. Selfishly, Taikon looked on, wishing, desperately, strangely, that the grey creature might seek him for comfort. He blinked and looked down and away, ashamed of these thoughts.
Tai felt Zephyr's cold gaze upon him, and he glanced toward him, afraid of something chastising or dismissive. Rowan also stole a glance his way, and Taikon looked toward Zephyr with real concern and anxiety.
Of course, even if Zephyr called for him, he could not leave Takiyok and Taktuq alone. They needed him more... Maybe. He wanted to ask Rowan what had happened, since he was the only lucid person around, but the leader had not seen the event. He didn't know. Taikon was alone.
