Blackfeather Woods i stand on shaking earth, the surface it looks calm

His mind was buzzing for what felt like the hundredth day in a row. Taikon didn't know how much more of it he could take. Firefly Glen and what he assumed was the rest of the mountain were a disaster. Luna was probably dead. It was all a mess.
Their woods remained untouched, which no doubt Rowan would use to prove that his insane religion was what had caused this. What a ridiculous fantasy.
Taikon was out laying beside the stream, not bothering to do anything at all that day. It took all of his strength to bother eating after what he and @Takiyok had found at the glen. Life felt pointless.
When Puffin found him there, he lifted his head and blinked calmly. Hey, he greeted half-heartedly, and promptly placed his head back on his paws. He had assumed he'd freaked her out somehow the other day, but didn't feel like he needed to apologize. What's up? The question was directed at her, though he was staring at the water.
