was she healing? teya didn't know. days became nights became days. she tended her children and comforted them as she could. she patrolled. she hunted. she went through the empty processes of normalcy and lay awake at night in a den hardly smelled of her mate.

the loneliness ate at her as water upon stone. any progress she had made diminished and fell back into long silences and refusal to consume meals.
she walked.
she hunted.
she cried.
maia found her during one of those times. teya wanted to stop, to retreat into herself where it was far safer, but the sight of her friend sent the raven into fresh paroxysms of grief and ripping sobs that wouldn't stop no matter what she wished. "i think i kill men," teya laughed, incredulous, shocked, horrified by her loss.
