Blackwater Islands he'd kiss your eyes and repent

for @The Listener

it is with news that he seeks her.

though he's kept his little ... budding hobby a secret since his return, he does not wish for it to remain so. he might be a keeper of secrets, but not from trikova. she already knows more of him than anyone else in the world did and the knowledge that he could be completely honest and vulnerable with her was ( his only, perhaps ) saving grace.

to track trikova, he discerns her freshest scent trail and follows it, hoping that he might find her soon; unbothered by the broken clouds that paint the evening in drab shades of grey.
