would u accept his son? :3 lmk if not tho and i can delete!

in one of the brief moments of rest rewarded to them by the caribou, ghelan pulled away from the saatsine. unsure of why, but he also had no intention of turning back. the sea breeze of moontide has long since abandoned him, and they would never reach him from here.

but this cold wind does alarm him of a stranger, and ghelan stands straight. he wouldn't yet reach his father's height, but he was inching close. whether that was good or bad, ghelan had yet to decide.

the stranger is a woman, and she's alone. ghelan huffs to announce his presence from a distance, red eyes locked with her pale velvet silhouette.
