As they moved on, Mordecai led them in no particular direction. They were bound to come across something out there, whether it was close to where they were or even further within the basin that made up their sloping, varied territory.

“Well, how about we start with the beginning. What brought you to the Spine? Did you travel a lot before here?” His interest was genuine, unavoidably so. Mordecai enjoyed the stories of others, considering that many who came through the wilderness they found themselves in were not native to the region. He had yet to meet anyone who was truly native, though was naive still enough to believe there had to be someone out there.
