Ouroboros Spine midnight, somewhere

inkalorë searched the spine with purpose in their stride, stopping for no one except the wolf they were looking for. they wanted to talk to vairë (@Sabah) — about how nice it was to be home, about how their fears had sort of come true. they didn't understand why the loners had come and done such mean things to their village. it wasn't fair. but they didn't like seeing the hard look that crept over the features of the adults when they were thinking about what happened, so they didn't think to talk to mom or any other adult about it. instead they sought their sister, who was far less intimidating when she was upset.
