Don't be afraid to slip and fall

At last the injured young man made an appearance at the den's entrance, seating himself in front of Xeph. He looked despondent, speaking softly of Armai, that she was of course taking care of him, not to let him die. So, his own expression remained solemn, not offering a smile that would only add a sense of fakeness to their surroundings. Riv mumbled a comment about the rabbit Xeph had caught, but his eyes never looked upward. "Yes, the meat is still fresh," the silver-eyed man responded in a low tone leaning down to nudge the fresh kill toward Riv, "You should eat to keep your strength up. Your body needs it." And perhaps a good meal would make him feel better, not just to relieve hunger, but to raise his morale just a little. It was obvious to Xephyris now that Riv was feeling a tremendous amount of disappointment, the failure clinging to him. And surely, everything that had happened with Zephyra must have made that all the more difficult. He wondered, although he would not ask right now, what had become of the young wedded couple. Instead of fixating on that alone, Xephyris would lead his thoughts to the current moment. Where would they go from here? The gray-coated man knew what he wanted to do. His resolve had become stronger and more clear in the past few days, and he was determined now to pull through with his plan. "Riv, what are you going to do now?" he asked, although he didn't expect the younger brute to have a clear answer right this second, "Once your body is healed... will you stay here, or seek out other avenues?" |
