It was a large lake.
He sat upon the shores as the moon rose, still enough to watch the orb rise, shining even through the clouds. Nearing full moon, but not quite.
Coltan was good company, but. . .perplexing. Seemed to grow before his eyes. Literally—he swore the boy had gotten bigger since they'd met.
Which, that happened; he knew that for a fact. He'd grown like a weed in his youth.
But. . .
Killdeer sighed, looking out at the gently rippling waters of the lake. Soon they'd be at Brecheliant, and he could reunite the boy with his family. And see his own father. Explore the land of his youth—
God, leave a memento for Caracal at the Hobbit Hole—
Grief seized his throat in a vise, and he ducked his head, fighting back the emotion. He was unsuccessful, and it spilled over; Killdeer cried once more, wishing for times gone by and brothers gone forever.
