Qeya River c is for clara who wasted away

ezra hugs his brother so tight that he fears if he lets go that gideon might vanish. but eventually, he pulls back from the embrace, looking to anselm before his gaze focuses back on gideon and tries to answer in order after anselm had spoken.

thus, ezra starts at the beginning, with what had happened relatively directly after their disappearances. how amadeo had spoken of the fight and that anselm had left, how druid had attacked skaigona, that she'd been sick and that skaigona and him had fled then and there. filling in the details where his father could not.

he told them of their travels searching for them both, how they'd met etienne at swiftcurrent creek and they'd been advised that anselm might be at the great hunt the moonwolves had put together.

from there, the rest had been as their father had described; gaze lowering to his paws for a long moment as he hoped that skaigona had not actually caught druid's sickness.
