Ouroboros Spine mulberry wine

Shortly after this thread, which is still ongoing! But I wanted to get this in our threadlogs <3

Valiant found himself feeling oddly adrift after his conversation with Ajei and Arrluk, somewhere between elation and devastation. He wanted to find @Raindrop right away and share the news, but part of him...

It was just hard to move on. He'd been slowly but surely doing just that, of course, but he felt as though he'd looked behind him for the first time and seen how far he'd come. And seeing his past so far in the distance — his daughters, his wife all long, long gone — had broken his heart along familiar fault lines.

It hurt... but he found that he still wanted to go and find Raindrop. She was the best friend that he had, and whatever else lay between them, he knew seeing her would only help right then.
