Bearclaw Valley apertivo

val rubbed his throbbing nose.

there was too much to think about. was he wrong? was stryx wrong? a long silence hung suspended between them. unpleasant.

the door of possibilities slammed shut with a thud. val looked up and stryx was leaving. something about mosskeep and being good to go. the boy's head was spinning. :oh.. alright. thank you.:: val murmured, staying behind.

for a while he just stood there, that thousand yard stare gradually climbing to the sky.

thank u for this thread <333
