Ocean's Breath Plateau silver sparrow

akiak is tugged back up against red leaf's breast, even when he wasn't hungry. how could he when everything seemed so frightening.

the man is harsh, so akiak appreciates being taken from the fight — even if he would've won it. his mother's husk sputters, her eyes the only way he could understand her thoughts now. but surely it would all be fine once his father returns.

he sniffles into her pelt, though akiak's gaze fixates on the pale coated man that invades their solemn peace.
