Ouroboros Spine auma ↝

Good, he realized, that Melaine already knew her. Very readily, he wanted her to have the chance to talk plants, knowing how sharp on the subject she already was. He would gladly see her hone it further but that was only half of his consideration. A part of him, one torn, sought to see the fireflies have a chance at comfort here.

But, he listened carefully. His eyes definitely narrowed when Arcturus was mentioned, and head tilting after--a surprise addition to the story, having guided her here evidently. Arcturus found you? he frowned. Where did he go after..? he had to ask even if she wouldn't know. Antares had not made the connection between the southern wolves that had found him and his uncle yet either, but now in the midst of piecing together her experience (stinging himself to recollect it at all), he had to pick and choose what to zero in on exactly. At least hers had ended in something.. better. Sialuk had come too. Not Saviguk, though.

For a heavy moment, he was silent then with only a small nod to suggest he had any thought. It was close. No denying that. He wondered if she was okay with that, looking at her and feeling pensive. Antares wasn't sure if he was, though the realization unnerved him deeply. I used to find strength in the shade of the mountain, but now.. I don't know. he mentioned quietly, while he had already supposed it could only need more time to heal. And the glen is full of ghosts, even before it got worse.. he sighed, still coming to terms with this, and what he was meant to do with the feeling besides attempt to cope.
