Dawnlark Plains gathering shadows

tag for ref. this is probably a bad idea. :)

Cathal "Crow" Blackthorn had yet to settle down. His brief stint with Sequoia had burned bright and hot, and that was the last time he had even attempted such a thing. In the time since, he had gone from one fling to the next, breaking hearts along the way, though he never stuck around long enough to confirm that little bit. He merely assumed he had broken hearts along the way.

There had been an ever-so-brief interlude with his brother, @Penn, in which they'd met, skirmished, hugged it out, and gone their separate ways without a single word between them. Aside from that, Crow had kept away from anybody he knew. Some might say he was trying to protect his feelings, but that assumed that he had feelings at all. He didn't feel remorse for those he had left behind; that much he knew.

And so, when a call went up and Crow drew near to that oh-so-sweet smell, he didn't hesitate to move in close, testing her by bringing himself close. She was a void, and Crow was more than ready to get lost in that.
