Take me somewhere new

Steel was used to things being temporary. As far as he was concerned, nothing in this life was permanent. Whenever he had gotten comfortable with something, it was yanked away from him - first, the life he'd shared with his family in the Mangroves. Then the meager existence he'd shared with his parents in the southern continent. Finally, the life of a wanderer he has begun to grow accustomed to with Faria.

And now Argead, too, was gone.

He didn't know where they went, or who all went together. Their smells faded slowly, until even Mithras could not be scented here, and the scent markings that once claimed the lands as Argead's slowly faded. Though he ought to have expected it, he had slowly been growing used to the lands he inhabited, and used to the life he had made there - though it was still a life of relative solitude. And now it was all gone. A soft sigh left his lips as he walked through the night, silent as a ghost. Steel felt much more comfortable in the darkness than during any other time. He slunk beneath the low-hanging limbs of the willow trees, feeling weightless as he traversed the night. He didn't even notice that Esarosa was near until her voice called out, piercing and alarming in the silence of the night.

Briefly, he froze, his posture stiffening. Had she been looking for him? Or had she simply stumbled across his scent? "Hi," he'd say, somewhat breathlessly, feeling at a loss for words. He was grateful, too, that she had not disappeared entirely. He'd relax as she came closer, his head tilting slightly toward the ground as his stony gaze searched for her in the darkness. "I don't know where I'll go now," he mentioned with a gentle, slow shrug. He had no plan in mind. Did she?
