Swiftcurrent Creek I'm gonna show you: loco, maniac, sick bitch, psychopath

There was a sadness to the girl that had begun to make her home among them. Arric didn't know exactly what that meant, but it was not his place to ask. She could come to him if she so wished. Black body was standing near the creek edge. 

Eyes closed, even breathing. He stood still, mind blissfully blank. It was nice to find peace of mind for the first time in a while. He hadn't realized how much turmoil had been happening until he finally got a moment of silence.

A footstep near, and he flicked an ear but ignored it for now.
