Sun Mote Copse time is a revelator;

for @Towhee if you have the time..? i hate to backdate so much, but it would have to take place shortly after wraen/towhee's talk.. LMK and feel free to backdate however much you want, if you pop in!! <3

his conversation with wraen was over, leaving arcturus with no clearer a mind, and far heavier a heart.

he claimed he had no ties here, but that was misleading. meerkat may have gone, but towhee remained -- and while there had always been a somewhat restrained manner between the two of them, arcturus would genuinely miss the mercenary.. and not just because she took his v-card.

swallowing his doubts and fears, arcturus went to howl for towhee and realized his error -- head low, the mountaineer made for the sovereign's den with his hat metaphorically in his hands by the way his ears slung listlessly to his skull.
