The Sentinels From the Abyss it calls me

Caracal’s jaw actually dropped when Gunnar mentioned that his father had lost his mind and torn out his own eyes. He nearly missed what was said after that, still reeling from this shocking tidbit, but shook himself to a focus in time to mentally rewind Gunnar’s answer to his questions.

He should probably say something about the guy’s dad, though he was at a loss for words and ended up saying, I think I kind of get it. I traveled with my best friend for a while before we split up. It’s not the same, going out on my own. It’s more fun, having a companion. Have you ever thought of doing that? It was probably way easier said than done but, well, he was curious if Gunnar had ever entertained the notion.

Or maybe… he continued after a ponderous pause. Well, there are a lot of packs around here. At least one of them doesn’t mind if you still hit the road a lot… Caracal worried his lip with his teeth for a moment as he thought of Atautsikut.
