Broken Antler Fen pleisosaur

teya did not want to tell ibis that she had watched and followed in an attempt to make herself more known and useful. and she had grappled inside her soul, wondering if this action was out of some misplaced sense of oweing.

akavir had come back.
"this for you," she murmured, nudging the large fish head and its attached gills in ibis' direction.
something catching upon her face, dismal, desperate.
