Stone Circle revenio

maybe @Tauris? <3

afternoon stretched in bitter shimmering waves through the land of kvarsheim.

germanicus had gone to ground; he had found a small pool and rolled his withers in its mud, as much for the biting insects as for the coolness of the wet soil against his skin.

and he would not think about moss.

he folded himself into the shadow of a low ridge which faced away from the brunt of the sunlight, meaning to doze until the day had lost its flame and he might hunt again.

and he would not think of crowfeather.

germanicus shut his eyes, even as his heartbeat tripped faster and he knew no respite would come.
