this is the reckoning
The words melding through the Attuned bond are amusing portions; mostly because he’d felt the same. Seasons and years before had been about survival for his entire community, and Caido at large; taking moments to just unfurl and unwind, within ranges of violence, hadn’t been at his disposal. Others would’ve told him to do so, or to at least stroll in something leisurely, but the modicum of responsibilities pressed across his shoulders would’ve been far too heavy to keenly dive in amongst ningo and maul just for the sake of it.
Likewise, he murmured in return, teeth clenching over the ningo, then snagging at the pheasants. Not with everything else going on. He could presume she’d had her own things to work through and commit to – given the only minor bits of information he’d been privy to.
As it was though, they’d clearly been enthused in their pursuits, and he wouldn’t be able to carry all the birds on his own. The offer caused his canine brow to arch briefly, but he segmented that downwards immediately, learning to accept assistance and help. If you want. Saves me another trip.
