Bearclaw Valley ocean of gold

at first, adalynn cared little over whoever this "merrick" was. if bears were this puny that even avalita could carry it, then grandfather was a complete and utter idiot. adalynn chases after avalita, refusing to let the onyx princess take what she decided is hers. avalita has had her fair share of dead things, why not herself? this was much more approachable than It anyways. this bear "femur" had no eyes to stare into, no regret that lingers even post-mortem.
but athalia — thats what she remembers her name being, anyways — approaches and asks questions that neither competing girl had yet asked. adalynn lets go of the femur and approaches. blue eyes beginning to pale look up at ancelin and athalia with wonder. if this was something the teenager had interest in, then it was probably important.
