Swiftcurrent Creek do they see right through me?

He chuckled. Better you than me. Uh she scares me a little. All bitey and frowny and. Yupp. Nope.

Arric founs no shame in admitting this. Cygnet was different than he was used to and though it could be conaidered shameful, he also knew it was better to be honest. And cygnet did scare him, but not how she was now. No, what she could turn into as she aged. That was what frightened him.

Alright.

He bent to the ground and maneuvered the dead weight onto broad back. Shoulders and knees protesting, but they could make it. Blood staining his fur. Dripping in his eye. Arlette was gonna kill him.
