pinging @Heda and @Ava Amara but AW, especially to leadership!! >:D

andras was growing desperate.
he had holed himself away for a good while, healing, recovering. a hefty scar now sat along his shoulder, covered only by a thin patch of undercoat. he still thought often of the red damsel who had turned his ministrations away. he is hungry, tired;
and worst of all is that god had not spoken to him in weeks.
his travels turn to aimless wandering, the scent of his daughter now lost and buried beneath other foot traffic through the valley. so, for the time being, he turns north toward more familiar terrain; rocky expanses, barren fields, dead forests. it felt almost like home.
a secluded passageway leads him into a protected canopy of greenery, and there is the distant sound of water just beyond his reach. it would be perfect if not for the pungent scent of others. this valley has keepers. perhaps it would be best to be one with them. there is safety in numbers; he can blend in, fade into the background until he is ready to return to his post.
perhaps this was what god wanted for him. all he has to do is give them his word.
