Rheum welcomed the change. But Rexx found himself desperate for it.

His dreams troubled him. The memories jutted into him like fragments of broken glass. He remembered every word that was spat off his tongue and his tongue, insults dripping venom and ill will. His quills colliding into his pelt, not in jest, but to puncture, counteracting the ram-like blows of his own crystal spines. Every moment was shattered with pelting rain and the resounding pain in his chest. Hurt. Torn. The chipped tusk was the last straw, and before they could deal their last blows, he'd always wake up. He was no longer his brother. He was a stranger. No dream could fix that.

Rheum's gentle suggestion, along with his father's blessing, was taken with more haste than gratitude. He wanted to get the hell out. Never return, at least not for a while. He missed the rest of his family, at least the ones he still considered as such. But he loved Rheum too much, and the taste of adventure would surely chase away the nagging sorrow. His right tusk remained uneven, never to grow back its sharpened tip. It looked a little awkward, jagged like a botched effort to cut down a tree. He trusted this girl enough to leave, and with that they'd reached the peaceful orchard -- how long had they'd been walking? Or perhaps he'd been too mulled in his head to really bother about their journey. Still, as they approached the borders of what he assumed to be this Avalon pack, he felt Rheum's comforting nudge, turning his head down to face her. He even forced a bit of a smile, but it hurt, and it quickly faded. He just..couldn't be his old self yet. He stood and stared ahead through the sights of the trees, but through them, not at them.

A fresh start. Yeah, he needed it. And now.
