Mount Apikuni roots

tentative, guarded, mindful.

there was a bond here that he was left out of and it soured him deeply. still he drifted closer when malila summoned him. soft blue eyes a clash against strong stone blue ones. it did not matter if they were family or not, veran felt...dejected. out of the loop.

hello, he offered. there was no point in giving his own name when malila had already done the honors.
