Moonspear rich folks laugh while the furnace burns

He was off again, stolen away from watching eyes in a fit of energy.

At least that was the story that he was sticking with—truth be told it was pretty certain that he was being allotted just a smidgen of freedom for being a little less bratty and testy; chances were his mother was having the last laugh in his endeavor. But escape and freedom tasted sweet while the sun was still high in the sky, the ground warm and surprisingly, finally somewhat dry in spite of spitting rain that morning.

Altair wasn’t off to roam too far, not today. Just down the road, down the hill, whatever it was that it could have been to have a peek at another site he hadn’t really ventured to much. Sure, he had seen his Uncle @Jarilo about here and there, Aunt @Kukutux too, but what really interested him today was finding his cousins. He couldn’t have claimed to have much of an opinion of them yet other than they were pretty neat playmates, so the moment he found @Sialuk’s scent he started following it.

She couldn’t have been far off, right? Doing whatever it was that girls did, anyway. Maybe she'd be with @Mira and @Mintaka and he'd go party crashing their clubhouse. Or maybe @Caelum, though... well, Altair really didn't pay attention to what Caelum did most of the time and the same really could have been said of a lot of things at that point. But it was nose to the ground all the same.
