His frustrations remained—he was a restless creature stalking his own farmstead, doing all his usual farmwork not with relish but out of a nervous, pained necessity. The hay had to be dried and stored. The Leafchange crops needed to be tended and harvested. He always bred a few goats for some late kiddings, and they were just around the corner.
But all he wanted to do was rush into the Greatwood, find out more about this blight and scrub it from every surface he saw.
He wanted to converse with the Gods and find some way to shape all the raw, untapped anger into something useful.
He wanted to be able to protect his friends and his family, but all he felt was powerless.
He slipped into the bakery basement shortly after the raven, a timing that was unintended. He blinked as his eyes adjusted from daylight to the dim-and-lantern flicker of the basement, reaching up as he went, pulling his hair out of its ponytail and running his fingers through it. This sort of labor needed a braid.
"That's a fair point," he agreed absently, patiently working out a snarl of blond locks. "What's your plan, Deimos?" As he waited for instructions he finally untangled his hair, and began to plait it up neatly.
