i hope you're alright, because i'm not okay

Malachai could not have said what it was that drew him back here again, maybe it was nothing at all, maybe it was the spirits that seemed to roam the continent now. Or maybe it was just worry for his friend drawing his paws back to this place where he'd saved the other boy from drowning. The truth was though that he certainly didn't expect to find Grimshaw here. And yet... It seemed the two of them would keep bumping into each other.

He frowned as he took in the sight of the other boy. He didn't look all that great. "You doing okay?" He asked as he approached.
