I Was Lost and Lost My Shape

Aureus settled in to watch the sunrise over Wolfpaw Lake. He kept waking up before dawn in the hours of the early morning and no matter how he tried he couldn't get back to sleep so he just started his days early. He winced and stretched his injured paw. It had healed over, the toes replaced with scar tissue, but in the morning his paw was still stiff and sore. He'd gotten used to his minor handicap and was quickly figuring out how to rebalance himself. Still, he didn't know what to think of his mental space. His thoughts were more scattered than usual but the one thing they could focus on was his boyfriend. He felt some frustration that he had not yet convinced the other man to move in with him. He knew patience was key but still, he was ready to start waking up next to someone from now into the future. In the mean time he supposed it was time to start taking his duties more seriously. Eligos and Pyrrhic had stepped up but in many ways he still felt like a wayward teenager.
