ROMEK
Better to run from wolves than from the past.
Wolves wear down, tire out. You can tell when there aren’t wolves nearby (mostly). And if they do catch you unawares? You can fight them, bite them, leave them for the ants. But the past? That tends to have a habit of catching you whenever it feels like it, leaving you a mess of tears and dead dreams. The past can’t be fought. It can only be accepted. ‘LIVE WITH YOUR FAILURES’ – there is no other option.
It’s a faint chattering he hears, on the other side of the wall. He tilts his head, pricks his ears, a mouthful of pain-stakingly unburied grass still hanging out of his mouth. He chews thoughtfully as fragments of the mare’s conversation floats over to him. He catches Michaiah and kick his arse and he can’t help the smile rising to his face.
There’s a silent pause, and Romek goes to unbury more grass, but then the humming starts. He frowns, tilts his head, and wanders over to the entrance of the mighty ice wall.
”Are you alright over there?” he calls out to her. ”You can come in. Just no arse kicking, please.”
