Variety seems to be the style of the western region of Desuna. Much of the south is exceptionally flat and has aptly been named the Vast Plains, as the land seems to roll out endlessly. If you reach the northern ends of the plains though, trees begin to appear, growing larger and thicker until you're surrounded by the Roraldi forest. Trees get more sparse toward the north, unable to grow in the surrounding permafrost.

A Shot in the Dark [ any\\//self ]

Sallos &//. Cassiel

Cool morning woke the sleeping thing, eyes reliting into the eerie glow, albiet a bit grudgingly. Dew had gathered on the stone body, slipping down like mercury as he rose, creaking, to his paws. The yonyuu moved with no purpose, it seemed; dragged by some unseen forced with a name. He hung his head, for a moment, still possesed by some form of groginess, then began to move.

As blue tinted wings were streching with each step, Sallos came to the slow conclusion that something had been nestled on his back, between the shoulderblades, perhaps all night. The temple thing came to a sudden stop (not like he had been moving all that fast to start with), adn sat. The pale thing tumbled down, making not the slightest noise; he had thought so. Hypnotic eyes turned to the miniscule reptillian heart, glowing eyes to pink eyes. The sickly thing buried itself against blue and grayscale fur, trying to escape the morning chill in the stone fur. "You're not usually this close," he said, a bit surprised. Not only did the bleached bleeder tend to just wander in the same general direction as him, as opposed to with him, but he was a thing not to get close to anyone. But Sallos supposed there was a day for breaking every now and again.

"Why?" And ghastly because the manifestation would never answer.

is it bright where you are?

[ since nobody's replied yet, i'll continue this as a self for now. anyone who wants to still can join. ]

Silence hung over the two lonely figures like some sort of fish net; entangling Sallos in indesicion, but all too expected. This was the bleeder's norm (to an extent, this sort of... affection was far beyond his normal capabilities,) and so it was naive to think he would react any other way. But then why? Why did the stone creature see the potential, silence in choice and not in inability?

He gave up on sitting, instead letting his body slipping into lying again. Curled in a half-circle and wings folded close to his body, the blue marked muzzle lowered like a slowly sinking rock to rest on the black legs. It was then a subtle, drawn out moment of pure silence, before the soft hop-scuffle of the bleached thing's motion towards the fox-thing. Watching closely as the clear head rooted its way under his wing to shelter his body, Sallos allowed the motion to pass. Allowed it, even. To feel the warm, small body nuzzled in the cold fur. And the straing drip-drip of blood? from his head. "What happen to you, Cassiel? Whose demons do you face?"

But the way the pink eyes stared up at him suddenly terrified him. The way he didn't need an answer, the way he knew, the emotions spilling through him - some form of nostalgia and guilt, cold sorrowful hatred and just plain brokeness - ate at the yonyuu like termites in his soul. He felt the need to push the thing away, to bring it closer. Instead, he just whispered, voice hoarse with emotions, "Why this broken shell? Why not follower her today?"

For his second half was not on this lonley slab of rock.
