Noctisardor Bypass got a girl whose up for the mating

AW, kept vague on who is with val <3
thinking possibly loose rounds, no post order, unless things get conflicty? <3

val found that being on the road was stepping into an old skin; one he'd thought he shed a long time ago.

@Suzu lead the way. val took the time to show @Thibault some of the knowledge he'd learned on his own so long ago -- he pointed to the great spires to the south, he told the boy of the sunken valleys to the east; motioning to where blades of grass were disturbed by the heavy trample of elk bands, or trees stripped of their bark from their teeth.

eventually they came to a raised corridor of stone. val apprised it with a flick of his gaze. it looked grim, almost more like doors to keep those within than intimidate those without.

glancing to suzu, he gave her an encouraging brush of his shoulder and then howled for those of rivenwood -- but most of all, for @Etienne.
