Ouroboros Spine because chaos is all they know

their time in moonglow is waning, kivaluk knows. and though he has enjoyed this trip, enjoyed all the knowledge he has learned during his time here, there is a homesickness seeping into his bones. it spreads through his veins until it begins to consume him. he tries not to let it show, tries to hide it behind smiles and tail wags but it lingers in his gaze all the same. he misses qeya river and the familiarity of it's serpentine paths.

older now than he was when they had begun this trip, he can hardly wait to return home and begin exploring it on his own.

the misty morning dampens his mood, worsening his growing homesickness until it is present in the small slump of his shoulders as he trudges along, determined to explore and with any luck, lift his own spirits.
