Overture Downs One step forward

He almost expects to see the murderer come to taunt him, mixing dreams with reality. It is not him. Not the monster that took his sister's life, and left him incomplete forever more. Alas, Evergreen deflates; the fur that stood on end along his scruff gradually falling back into place. His expression turns shy, sheepish almost, and Evergreen forces himself to smile at the girl.

This time he furrows his eyebrows in concern as he glances over her healing wounds... birds of a feather really do flock together, huh.
