Moonspear it gets better

They cruised on, with Vela on one side, and for a time, Jarilo to the other. When they started to approach the charred forest, he gradually began to drop back, and trotted along behind them now while he was busied taking in the sights of the strange remains. He did listen, however, and Vela beat him to the questions thanks to him being distracted.

All new to him, he wasn't trying to miss anything, but there was so much suddenly and he could only take in so much at once. He had never seen such a strange mix of old destruction with new growth trying to rebuild all at once.

And, should this not be enough to keep his curiosities busy, he knew the sea was getting awfully close--he could practically taste it, even with the sorrowful forest doing well to fill his nose already.
