Dragoncrest Cliffs Dude, this is a Wendy's restaurant.

it hadn’t been val’s intention to discourage lilitu. he wondered at the pair’s lives that one would end a bear-maiden, the other nearly a bear-meal.

did you know that she worshipped bears? val tried a small smile, though it faded quickly when the severity of all those memories resurged. he wasn’t sad to learn that lilitu had visited bearclaw and it stood empty. he would never forget that forest — how even the trees and the red pine below seemed disposed and full of old wounds. i’m sorry. i hope you find her someday. he knew, in a deep way, what it was like to lose a sibling; he only hoped in her case it was not forever.

a call sounded from the roja den. val rose with a slight smile in apology, making his exit while the thought of lilitu's connection to his buried past gnawed upon him.
