Noctisardor Bypass Life, Death, Religion, Survival

Things felt like they were on the right track, finally. It wasn't all going according to plan, or how Glaukos envisioned his first command really at all; but, nobody had died and that was a positive. They were missing a few in their number (the girls) but Glaukos was hesitantly hopeful that @Anselm had gone off to do as he was bid, and that he would return promptly so that @Heda's state could improve; then he could monitor @Druid and see her return to her old self again. He hadn't yet realized how deeply troubled the Den Mother was, or that the shift in to motherhood had potentially altered her in an irrevocable way.

@Fiona was doing her hunting; @Etienne worked in the den to heal, or was out and hiding in the dark but Glaukos wasn't keeping strict tabs on him. It felt good to have expelled the unruly, unreasonable, antagonistic factor that was Anselm. Heda was in the den and resting, and hopefully Druid was too.

He was feeling good for the first time in weeks; empowered, more like it. Rivenwood was working properly within (in his estimation, which did not involve interpersonal details because fuck that amirite), the bypass was well guarded, and he could now walk the grounds wholly believing his choices had been good enough, for now.
