Dragoncrest Cliffs Anglerfish

It had been days since the incident with the bird. For that time, Swordfish had made himself invisible. He had only come out at night, to fish in the dark or to look at the stars. The days were spent hiding in the dark of one of his best-kept secrets. It was a place where he could never be found. The quiet of it allowed him to remove himself from the terrible thing that had happened. He wanted to see her. He wanted to say that he was sorry, even though he didn’t understand why he might apologize for sharing a bird with Quennell.

The confusion had made him more frustrated than he cared to be. In the process of becoming forcibly detached, he had to shut off the surprising spikes of emotion that overcame him. This was his other reason for disappearing after the fight. It had given him the time to quiet himself internally. None of those horrible feelings had to be addressed, at all.

The young wolf padded the beach, heading instinctively toward the trap he had made with @Suzu.
