Ouroboros Spine this is for the good ol' boys

if you have time/chickadee would be back yet ( though we can always forward date it if need be! ); left this all welcome just in case. <3

tracking the herds does not hold his attention as it once had; and distracted he had spooked one and lost one all together. @Chickadee claims her place at the forefront of kivaluk's mind until he could think of nothing else. worrying about her welfare, missing her like a palpable ache in his chest as if his heart were carved out and carried with her while she was aware visiting her family — his in-laws.

and wispy thoughts that have come more and more prevalent the longer time wears on that plagues any first time father he assumes: had they been successful?

he gives up on trying to salvage the trail he'd lost, accepting defeat of his own making as he trudges back to the spine, entirely too distracted to be of any use.
