Stone Circle And I will sing a lullaby

She spoke, and he listened. From her words he took some reassurance. It sounded like she was trying to explain something to him, something that should make him feel perhaps a bit less alone. Maybe she wanted him to believe that this was simply the way of life- that wolves created you, loved you, and left. But her tone was too sweet, too gentle…He felt certain she was pledging to him that she would never leave him behind. 

She did say “I” and “Go” and he tended lightly, before he moved closer as if to beg her to stop saying those words. 

Maybe it was time for him to stop begging others to stay; perhaps it was time for him to distance himself, so it wouldn’t hurt so much when they left. But for Tauris, it was already too late- he lover her more than he could even articulate in his own language. 

She mentioned the buffalo, but then said “you.” He looked up, concerned. ”Buffal….Move, roam. Skáld stay.”
