Dragoncrest Cliffs get haunted

to her credit, haunt tries to recall the woman's name but ultimately to no avail. it is understandable, vex tells himself as she has admitted to him already that she was out of it until a day ago. nevertheless, the woman does not give her name even as she draws nearer. vex's gaze zeroes in upon the rabbits she drops, thinking of haunt's hunger and considers asking if they could have one. often ill-mannered and rude vex is surprised by the restraint he exhibits now, keeping himself on his best behavior ( whatever that might be ).

probably because this woman could very well be the difference between life and death for him.

yes, vex answers honestly. me 'n our mom but i lost her in the storm. they could be on opposite ends of the wilds for all vex knew. his sense of direction and internal compass was out of order with the unyielding cold and snow pressing in. for that matter, who even know if arbiter still drew breath? despite how hard it was for vex to imagine his mother being done in by hypothermia ...it was still a possibility and he simply doesn't know.

i heard haunt call for dad. he tells the woman honestly, ears fluttering back against his skull. he looks then to his sister for a moment before looking back at rosalyn. i dunno if you have the power for it or maybe you can call someone who does ...but i'd like to stay with haunt. in whatever capacity that meant, whether temporary or something more permanent.
