Ocean's Breath Plateau silver sparrow

red leaf manages a thin smile for her boy, shaking her head at him with a small sigh. no, otter. he is not aapa. aapa will be back soon, she's not sure whether she believes it, but her son must; she must shield him from the harsh reality that seemed to loom closer and closer with each passing day. we're just going to stay with him until we feel better.
she shambles weakly from the back of the den, pausing to give a look to the seal hunter man. she looks dreadful, she knows, and feeling the sun upon her shoulders makes her feel exposed, naked.
she casts her glance over to the sea and feels a tightness in her chest. is it-- is it near the sea? she asks chakliux, trembling as she moves to his side. i-i don't think i want to be near the sea anymore.
