Bearclaw Valley remember me,

the reassurance in the man's words offered some comfort to the stormcloud woman. her daughter was a good kid, though more importantly, she was still her little girl. she breathed an air of acceptance, turning away slightly then to glance off in some odd direction when the next question caught her off guard.

she hadn't expected it, but didn't mind to answer. "i don't know really. he disappeared when the kids were still little, couldn't have been more than a week old." she tried to remember exactly the last time it'd been when she saw arktos. the day their children were born? the day after? she couldn't recall.

"maybe fatherhood scared him away, or maybe he'd found something that had made him happier." in the end it didn't really matter why he left, he'd gone all the same.
