Admittedly Corvus's mind had been... elsewhere, for awhile now, but he was still around. He was loyal to Abaven despite his own uncertainties, and though things had been a bit weird for him lately he wasn't shying away from his duties. Still, he was stuck inside his own head a lot of the time and felt a bit neglectful regardless. Today he'd decided to go scout the borders of the thicket, deciding it would - at the very least - prove a distraction from his restless thoughts. Giving himself something to do was always a preferred alternative to sitting and stewing over his own thoughts.
It was a decent enough spring day. Summer was just around the corner and he was finding himself growing accustomed to the warmth that the season brought. The lands were quickly growing luscious and fertile, and he was content to veer away from the snake-infested plains to the east for the day. He was so focused on navigating a more dense area of the thicket that he barely noticed Shaye until he was right up on him, and he spun around once he saw her out of the corner of his eye, looking slightly bewildered for a moment. "Oh hey, Shaye," he finally managed, once he shook his head and gained his composure, forcing a friendly smile.
