I Really Can't Stay-

Aresenn

There was something surprisingly threatening about the near-silent hiss of snowfall. The sterling haze painted by the descent of countless white specs was certainly beautiful to say the least. It almost made the world feel dream-like. Even to the point, it made forgetting about the rapid accumulation a dangerously easy feat to accomplish. Though, of course, if his life came to a screeching halt every time it rained or snowed, he would never get anything accomplished. Hesitating outside the boundary clearly illustrating Armada’s territory, Aresenn called out an announcement to his presence. To the Warlord, to Andy, he wasn’t necessarily sure. This was the first time he was taking up the open invitation after the part he played in the sudden flood- part of him didn’t want to see the aftermath.

The last time he had seen Andromeda, the fatigue of her near drowning had worn heavy on her. A visceral sickness overwhelmed her already weakened immune system. Of course, he had been getting sick as well, though his just a head cold. The memory of the girl pursuing him and her father away from prying eyes flashed to the forefront of his mind. That’s why he had left- not because he wanted to, but because he had hoped that removing himself it would give her one less reason to fight bed rest. And as he had felt his own throat tightening with the threat of illness up on the mountainside speaking to Sirius, he hadn’t wanted her to absorb the blame for that as well. He was certain she would have tried.

His encounter with Sephiran had demanded his attention for several days upon having recovered from his sickness. Though, now that he had other toys to play with, it had afforded Aresenn the opportunity to sneak away for a bit. He just hoped that Andy also had time to regain her strength- in the event she hadn’t, he’d find her in the col. Though until then, he’d maintain his casual pace through the gnarled forest- at least it was dense enough to break the otherwise unrelenting breeze.
