Bearclaw Valley up the wolves

for only a brief moment, she think cole has come to collect her for something.

yet she knows all too well that this isn't him. it's someone else. someone that maybe she should know better but only knows at surface level. despite the fact that everyone seems to know her mother. maybe it meant her mother was settling in well. shouldn't she take comfort in that?

it takes her a moment to say anything. far too busy staring at this man who stood at a height she would one day near. yet he had clearly already grown into his own body. strong and hardy. scarred.

this is someone who has seen plenty beyond the valley.

is that jealousy in her chest?

yeah. she finally grunted in a manner that maybe suggested she spent too much time shadowing the Guard. i ain't gotta go back to her yet, though. on the defensive just an edge. worried that someone might think she still needed any kind of baby sitting.

who're you?
