Moonsong Glacier [m] going toe to toe with an enchantress

the change over aventus' demeanor was enough to clue val in that he was in dangerous territory. he had either said too much, or too little. he tried to keep his composure, which normally could be unruffled -- but even he felt like he was beginning to have his back up against a wall.

aventus' grim smile was hardly heartening. val's ears flew forward in indignity as he registered what aventus had just said. "what?!" he snorted, ears reverting back to a mulish ear pin: "no!" totally kerfluffled by the addition of his nether parts, val's back arched like that of a cornered cat. "that does not make me hard." huff. "wait. are you saying that's what they did?" then, more quietly: "did they kill kids?"

he had more questions, like who the fuck followed bears -- but for now, his one track mind was singularly on aventus' accusation.
