Noctisardor Bypass sinister mist

blackfell is on his way out of the territory when he comes across the dark-furred woman and his cousin. she is leading uktark down from a slope, into the valley and towards the treeline.

the blackbird emerges from said treeline, stalwart frame brushing against one of the trunks of high carving evergreen and the foliage which lingers, dead from frost. he huffs and shoulders up, moving through the thick winter.

he meets her first with questioning red eyes, but he does not look long. his thudding footfalls move him past and towards uktark, who he stops with a shoulder to his.

i am heading out. he rumbles. who is this?
