winter wonderland
Ruinam has been lazing around the island for weeks now, quietly idling in the middle of the jungle, covered in moss and arrays of colourful leaves and flowers, looking like a rather sorry excuse for a leader.
After managing to succeed in sort of winning the challenge for the resort and successfully gaining the ability to shapeshift into a dragon, the stallion became rather lazy, fooled into discomfort by his own ignorance twice now, letting the resort fall quiet, a shadow among other lands.
He misses the comfort that his companion had provided him the most, still feeling the guilt stab at his chest even after so much time has passed. Every time he shits into his dragon form he can feel his companion being pulled away even further, the feeling is indescribable, but it keeps him awake at night and creates an illusion of hate that resides in his head and only his head alone.
But as the stallion lays silently, a decidedly familiar voice causes him to startle, rising from his position deep in the undergrowth, a smile visible on his face.
"Sande!" he calls out merrily, walking swiftly through the dense jungle to reach the beach.
His chest feels at peace once again as soon as she comes into view, it has been some time since he has last seen her and so he is happy that she has come to see him.
"How have you been, dear?" he asks with a wide smile, stopping beside her and greeting her companion "And how have you been?" he asks again with the tilt of his head.
