Swiftcurrent Creek I sew myself shut

She had collapsed the moment she arrived at @Akavir’s den, and slept deeply. When she woke up, it took her a minute to remember where she was, why she was cuddling with @Nicodem and @Jakub, what’d happened, and the loose ends that remained from the fallout.

Arric had taken Mae and the baby to Kvarsheim; a wave of anxiety and embarrassment overcame her. She knew she owed him an explanation and apology—for the stress she’d caused and letting her personal desires to get the better of her. He didn’t deserve to be on the receiving end of it all, especially with everything he was dealing with.

She wasn’t sure if he had gotten home yet, but if he hadn’t, she’d wait for him.

“Let me know if you need anything,” she told the children as she got up to leave. “I’ll be back to check up on you later—I’ll bring dinner, too. How does rabbit sound?” She would help with them where she could while their father was busy dealing with the fallout.

She stopped along the way to collect a quail and mouse for him, as she figured he needed something a little extra, and then walked to the borders. Any trace of him she came across wasn’t very recent, so she figured he wasn’t there yet.

As she neared the outskirts, she spotted him crumpled on the ground. She sprinted, and once she was at his side, she placed the meal at her paws and began to search for the cause of this. She didn’t see any wounds, and, wuivkly, she wondered if exhaustion had caused this.

“Arric?” She asked, remaining calm despite the circumstances, “Can you hear me?”
