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

I'm fading here bc I needed a segue and I don't actually know what Cam was planning on showing him xD

mal was wrong. cam had signed up for it the moment he chose to stay. well, no—the moment he had grown up within this forest. he wasn't a kid anymore; he, too, was responsible for the well-being of this place and its denizens. but instead of verbally refuting mal's claim, he forged on, focused on other things now.

you'll see. it's very pretty. i think you'll like it, cam remarked, giving the alpha a warm smile. it'll at least take your mind off things.

well, maybe. other wolves didn't seem to like looking at plants and animals as much as he did. but if he could drag mal out of this funk, he would do it. he would bloody well try to, anyway.

he led the mottled wolf through the forest, feeling something of a purpose for the first time in a long while.
