Dragoncrest Cliffs There's always thunder in August

Sobo's searching look at his mother's face told a tale of conflict. She seemed okay now... Maybe it was nothing to worry about after all. He had days sometimes where he forgot what he was doing, too. This seemed different from that, but sometimes it was best to just take someone's word at face value.

It would haunt him in the days to come, but in the moment, he bobbed his head and offered a warm smile. Okay, mamá, enjoy de sun. He would return to searching for Mireille, but it would be a long time before he didn't feel dread settling in his stomach at the thought of going to the Sound.
