Weeks had passed since Reiko's decision, since Izumi's confession - each as unexpected as the other and he, undeserving of both.
Since then, neither she-wolf had come to find him. They needed time, he knew, time to pull themselves together and figure things out, but not knowing was beginning to take its toll on him. Not knowing how to think straight, how to keep himself from crumbling, how to function.
What had begun as his own heartache had evolved and mutated enough to grow arms that grabbed at those he cared for most. In trying to move on from Reiko's rejection he'd doomed Izumi, too. The guilt was becoming too much to bear, and he turned from Vanderfell to seek solitude for a time in the wilds.
Along the base of Dragontooth, the druid roamed. This mountain was as close to Tsukiishi as he would allow himself, for the last thing he wanted was to demand an audience with the dove and the crane if they were not yet prepared to accept his presence.
