Arrow Lake haunting equals attachment

in his disregard and lack of concern about being close to another's claim there is great irony ...for once upon a time he'd been a fierce and possessive shadow on rivenwood's borders. once, he'd cared a great deal about piss borders. now, he views them as a nuisance. a cage in which he is locked in and an object in which he must move around lest he bring the fury of the claimants upon his head.

or the shadow's.

thoughts of his past are let go to the casting tide as quickly as they come; a flash of what was once was but that to which he has firmly shut the door upon.

he is fragheda now and the shadow is his chosen companion.

he feels her absence now keenly; in the moments when he needs her. though the offer, rather abruptly, is placed before him worripa knows he cannot take it. not without the shadow's input. the fact that it is offered so readily to him because of his age dredges within him a suspicion that forms into a small sneer upon his scarred flesh.

but he does not speak on it; at least not yet.

i travel with another. though worripa does not like breaking his silence it is sometimes a necessary evil.
