Shadow Mountain and not be so indifferent to the look in your eyes

AW! Loosey timeline.

Stag had tried to follow his mother's tracks as she left Diaspora, but he quickly learned tracking was easier said than done, and he made for a poor tracker. A veil of snow obfuscated the bulk of the tracks he had been following, and the fresh deposit muffled his ability to scent @Takiyok in the wilderness.

He was thoroughly lost as he settled under the aegis of a storm-blunted stippling of stone. It was just enough cover to shield him from the snow, which now fell in heavy flurries -- but it was not much in terms of keeping him away from the biting cold. Feeling in that moment overwhelmingly alone, Stag looked across the dismal landscape -- and wished fervently he had never left home in the first place.
