Lone Star Mountain see in the dark

the scene unfolds at a rapid pace that leaves vex scrambling to keep up. haunt bolts and he hesitates, watching as the pale male tears after her. vex's hackles bristle and his feet itch, wanting to bowl after him ( as he could really do anything ). but he's torn, between arbiter's wrath — not solely directed at him and the dark stranger who he doesn't trust.

his heart flutters rapidly in his chest. w-west! vex spits out. we were lookin' for dad! he yells; startled and confused and angry. hunted? but that wasn't what scared him, though perhaps, it should've been. mom, we gotta save haunt from that man! a sharp glance was thrown to the dark male — though vex wasn't one to talk about not being able to reign in his siblings.

for now, however vexation plays the role of obedient son ( too little, too late ), waiting on arbiter's direction.
