Sun Mote Copse This place rings with echoes

Set for the 5th/6th, after thread with Kovertol. Keeping injuries vague as thread is ongoing.

The worst moment to have a stuttering memory was when you were facing off against something dangerous, and whether he would remember the event in question or not, Yellowbelly had the distinct misfortune of finding himself at the mercy of a bear. True to his ailment, Yellowbelly forgot the danger almost as soon as he came upon it - fear and stress causing his mind to empty repeatedly. In each iteration of that star-struck moment of seeing the dangerous beast, he would try to escape from it.

But when he woke the morning after, alive but with his ears ringing and his head pounding, he wasn't aware of how close his life had come to ending. It was like he had just been beaten in a bar fight; when trying to stand up he felt the whole world tilt and spin, so he settled heavily against the thicket. Not remembering how he had gotten the crap kicked out of him was one thing - but to taste blood in his mouth was an eye opener, and he couldn't help but whine piteously, feeling like he was at the end of his rope. He hadn't felt this bad since leaving Jade Fern --- wait a minute.

He blinked, frowning, and thought about Jade Fern Grove. Kaskara came to mind, and then Scimitar, and --- okay, things fizzled out after that, but there was suddenly some hope!
