Neverwinter Forest well, i am the rose you relinquished again

since joining with fjorneska, ezra has paused his search for anselm and gideon. to him, jumping right back into his search despite the hospitality offered by solharr, felt extremely ungracious. so, ezra re-familiarized himself with neverwinter forest and hunted for the caches. birds and small woodland critters. nothing huge or substantial really, but he'd once survived on birds and eggs — the thought alone brings with it a painful spear thru his heart, grief rearing it's ugly head. but he resists all and ever urge to sequester himself away.

he did not think he would ever truly stop grieving heda.

but he had to try, give it its own space without letting it consume his life.

the morning sun was warm along his back as he stretched out the stiffness from a tense sleep and makes his way to the borders to run a quick patrol.
