Wheeling Gull Isle quit pushing away these girls (guys) that maybe really like me

SORRY ABT THE WAIT <33

This hasn’t been the lowest point in his life, but it certainly wasn’t the highest. Once again Orochi’s title was stripped away. It seemed as though he’d only had it for a second before it was taken. At least he wasn’t replaced by Minori this time (who had yet to return to the island. Her and his mother. Good riddance). That made him feel a little better, but not much. He still stomped around the shore daily, kicked everything that moved, and plotted ways to take back his rank.

When he wasn’t storming around, he’d return to his only friend. He’d yet to tell Hide what happened. It was too damn embarrassing, and he didn’t want to bother him while he was stuck in the healers den.

Once he was finished with his daily walk around the shore (he did less walking and more kicking and biting), Orochi headed inland. He was surprised to find his russet friend out and about.

Hide? he called, I thought you were sick. There was a twinge of irritation in his voice. No fault of the yearling before him. He just hadn’t completely cooled off.
