Arric had been avoiding everyone or so he thought, perhaps they were avoding him. Or maybe all of them were so fucking damaged that they walked and missed each other through the smoke of emotions and hurt.

Voice from far away he blinked. Precious little face. Voice. She was always so pleasant and god he kinda hated it and yet he adored it, because despite it all. She kept the happy level up. Her little maw was stuffed with voles before she spoke. He had to laugh then at the small pile. But he held up a paw. Not the voles no she was b3ing amazing helping where she could.

You know lovebug, you're kinda adorable.

 He shook his head and went back to the horizon. Chewing on the words. The tension that held his black shoulders taut.

His voice strangled, low. Filled to the brim with all of it.

No I'm not. I'm pissed off at almost everyone. And I'm pissed off that I'm pissed off. And I'm guilty for being pissed off. And I really just want to ask Wren and Akavir and Silvertongue and all of them. How dare they spew their negative, shame, self hating selves all over the land and yet how dare they make me want to hug them all until they can't fucking breathe because they're so fucking damaged and they won't try and fix it. And they all just keep hurting and blaming and bleeding all over the place and I.

He swallowed his voice a whisper then.I...I.. can't fix it. And how dare I pass judgement on them when they're hurting and blaming and bleeding.

Arric blinked. Blue eyes boring into her. and how dare Mae leave feeling like she is hated. And how dare wren hurt herself because she loves too much and yet how dare i blame her for it. Her pain isn't mine. And how dare Akavir love so much and yet hate himself so much. And yet how fair am i? I'm just as damaged and I'm shitty as fuck for being angry when they are angry enough at themselves.
