He was a fool, wasn't he? A fool for coming here.
Though the golden maiden had spoken an invitation to come to see the healing girl, Vaska had steered clear of Brecheliant in the days that followed Chickadee's rescue. In fact, he'd stayed rather put in Phantom Hollow, with the dark woods and deafening silence to become his company again. His ravens watched from the tree line, hidden like some secret wisdom, though Vex never strayed far from his sight. They had always been enough for him.
And yet...
And yet, here he stood, on the cusp of Brecheliant again: his fur a little tidier than when he'd first come here, his eyes no more trusting. He could always turn round. Go back to the shadows and the silence of the trees. Go back to the safety of a lonelier place. But his eyes fixed on the unknown that stretched on and on before him here as a rolling grassland sloping up to the sawed-off mount.
Quiet. Watching. Not so sure he wished to seal himself here with a howl to anyone who mattered.
So his voice didn't go out to anyone at all.

AW, he's on the outside of their border! <3
