Moonstone Quarry tell me, little wolf

cameo! <3

The shadow girl sees him. Out of the corner of her eye, just as she rounds the slope near the cache. The soft thud of the jackrabbit meeting earth is a sound easily missed, but not by her. Not with her ears straining more than she'd admit: Raedwulf.
Rhaena doesn’t pause; but her gait shifts. The moment slows. Just enough for the silence to speak louder than words ever could. A hmph escapes her, sharp and guarded, a poor veil for the flinch behind her eyes. She doesn’t meet his gaze. Doesn’t dare to, not when she knows she is the wound still scabbing beneath his ribs. The weight of her mistake lingers, tucked in the tightness of her jaw, the downcast flick of her ears.
She had strayed, left him wondering, maybe even fearing. And though her path had brought her back, she’d not yet found the voice to say I’m sorry.
So the shadow girl walks past him like he’s a stranger she aches to touch. Let him think she’s still upset; it's easier than unraveling the guilt inside her bones.
