Iolaire was seeing to his physical wounds, but also attempting to help his mental ones as well. He was recovering relatively quick, but Io wasn’t surprised. He was an easy patient, he had not the will to fight her and following her orders resulted in a quick recovery. However long he still had to go. The silver marked titan relaxed on the furs spread outside Io’s den. Roan wasn’t strong enough to go anywhere unaided yet, but the returning sunshine was as good as medicine.

Roan was forced to contemplate his new future however many decisions he had yet to come to yet. The one he could see most clearly was his debt to Iolaire many times over. For his life, for laying his sister to rest, seeing him to full health.. the list seemed to continue on forever. Roan thought about that and dwelled on his guilt almost as much. It gnawed at him like the bear had done to the sister he allowed to die. He struggled inwardly with how unfair it was that he was here trying to go on and she could not.

With his great head nestled between his paws Roan looked out at the path leading from Iolaire’s den turned infirmary. Contemplating those thoughts and more as the day marched onward.
