Bearclaw Valley i'm so depressed, i act like it's my birthday every day

back? his face reflected confusion for a moment. "i wasn't born here. i was born to aventus and arielle of redtail rise." ancelin scoffed. "he didn't really tell me shit about this place, honestly. not he. not aunt avicus either. they both lived there."
the words were pouring; he wasn't sure how to stop them. "but then my dad left, and my mom left, and my brother left — oh, he's atreus — and then avicus left. so fuck it. my mate and i came here. ameline."
his eyes softened a touch. "i guess you have some — grand nieces? second nieces? i dunno. the oldest is athalia. then this year we had avalita, athella, adalynn, and andrelia. amneris, athalia's sister, used to kick around here too."
lots of A names. why was he standing here blabbering them all to her. "so. are you — staying? just visiting?"
