Neverwinter Forest you and i in place, wasting time on dominoes

Mal's view of the past was different. Darker. And maybe just like today it felt like too much. It wasn't a good place for me either. Bad stuff happened there too. Before you were born. What was a happy childhood? Brief glimpses before things fell apart, probably. But then it just kept falling apart. 

But the forest? He looked at it too, then shook his head. He couldn't blame the forest, mostly because he liked it here. It couldn't be that. Besides, he had a different first instinct, Maybe it's just me. I'm just cursed somehow. And it effects everyone around me. Maybe it would have been better for everyone if he hadn't made the pack in the first place. Everyone could have found somewhere happy without him. But he didn't say that last bit out loud. Maybe Cam could figure out what he was thinking but not directly said.
