Lion Head Mesa [m] and i'm always tired, but never of you

Kemal had remained in the mesa overnight, having called for Verapaz to join him a day earlier. With the pack being so close to completing the move, it made more sense than taking Serein back to the pass only to move her back so soon after.

He was still blinking sleep out of his eyes when it hit him. First her scent, then the sound of footsteps. He raised his head, wary, but curious nonetheless.

..Serein.

He knew what had brought her all this way, he wasn't new to this, but it felt so wrong. Yet, he had made a promise to Verapaz.
