Moonsong Glacier i'll just cut my losses

backdated for the 7th! for @Ariadne <3

Peregrine wasn't entirely sure why he was still here after that... dream. Experience. He still wasn't sure what to call it. He'd made himself a temporary home out of an old, long-dead log where the snow couldn't reach, and he'd slept there with the promise to himself that he would leave for the caldera tomorrow.
Now, it was tomorrow. And he was still sitting around like a royal dumbass.
Why was he so apprehensive? Why had he done this to himself? He should just go back to dad, go sit around in the swamp with Towhee and Meerkat, and yet he hadn't. He didn't. Why did the stupid caldera matter so much to him anyways if no one he knew was there anymore? What if —
This was stupid, all of it; whatever. He resigns to hoisting himself out into the frost and begins to hike down the side of the mountain.
