Moonstone Quarry in another world, i heard

ezra awakens with a small start, shrugging out of his den. he takes a deep breath of the morning air, thick with sweet dew stirred beneath his steps as he prowls towards a food cache. he has stayed in fjorneska longer than he had originally anticipated and yet even with his current upset and begrudging acceptance of solharr's return, the loyalty he'd felt broken ... a small yawning chasm where it had once been solid ground, he stays.

because he was loyal to fjorneska itself, as a whole.

they'd taken him in and helped him when they hadn't needed to and that matters to ezra. more than his own teenage angst.

he takes a small rabbit from the cache, making quick work of the meal, noting to himself to replace it in the afternoon after his patrol.
