Sleepy Fox Hollow Away, tryna be somebody else

As much as Anselm felt he hated the widow in this moment, he was not so cruel as to deny her right to her child. Doing so would serve little purpose to him. He assumed the sooner they were reunited, the sooner they would be out of the Hollow and out of his hair.

He didn't like that the girl took their limited resources. He liked even less that it seemed these days, the Hollow served as self-service pantry to a host of vagrants. First @Raindrop, then @Fiona - but at least those two seemed self sufficient.

He glowered at the widow, but said nothing. Etienne shared a glance with him briefly before he sped off to the den the girl was housed.
