Broken Antler Fen jadebite

when ibis had gone into seclusion, teya had become consumed with jealousy.
eventually, the day of their birth, she too had isolated herself far from the auspex. with no way of knowing what truly went on within the den, it was instinct that forced her legs to race away. there she stayed, racked with guilt, for she should be among those who greeted the youngest. but instead teya kicked stones into a creek and at last, dropped into the shadow of towering elms.
there the young raven tried to untangle her horrid feeling, thinking of how calm @Wraen was always, and wishing to emulate this even in her stringent moments.
a breath. another. the taste of salt.
