I do not often travel north. In my short life (which is, to my credit, apparently longer than all but one of those present) I have quickly discovered that the falls and the lands south of it hold all that I need to maintain a false front of happiness. For the sake of those unfortunate souls who must encounter me, who must suffer through the awkward appearance of weakness and silence, it is easier to confront these things in warmer climes.

Besides, the cold does nothing for my aching bones. And if not for Tallsun's generous heat, which spreads so far up now that even the ice of these desolate plains begins to reveal flowers I might never have witnessed this sight at all. But I have, and I'm here, at yet another gathering of beasts as they fuss over the pitiful nature of the unknown.

With the curse of the bone creature's migraines just barely tapering into nothing, I am still not yet in the mood to pretend to care. When the three leap to comfort him I only snort and turn away. I learned very early in life that a parent's love was a rare and privileged gift, one that I was not to be blessed with. When mothers left, they did not come back.

If I'd had the mind to speak I might have said as much--sat the calf down and explained to him what it meant to be abandoned by your own life giver--but as it were I only chose to express my apathy by not approaching the creature at all. Besides, the other three seemed to have a handle on it, if only for their own selfish needs.

I will only admit that I attempted to help under the pretense that it is understood that I did so not out of pity or sympathy, but rather to cease the wailing. Undisturbed my head was fine, but this much crying was brewing a storm between my temples. So I lowered my gaze to the ground, stepping carefully and awkwardly as I always did as I searched for hoofprints in the melting snow. It was a vain hope, but I had to do something even if I couldn't bring myself to believe that any sign of the mother would be found.

After all, mothers didn't come back.
