AARYN
Aaryn had been a touch nervous about Gwyn being around when they all separated from Elreth to go to the cave and wait for her to bring her parents. But to his surprise, Gwyn didn't step up alongside him, but alongside Gar.
She gave him a look that was speaking something Aaryn couldn't decipher, but he wasn't even sure Gar noticed.
Gar's eyes were sunken, shadowed. He'd really been rocked by all of this today. Aaryn rolled his head on his shoulders. He was tense about all of this too. But he recognized the spark of anger inside as being a reaction to all of it—not just Gar's bombshell. But his own grief and frustration. He knew he would have to work to keep his reactions in check tonight. He was tired, afraid, and feeling insecure. But that was tough.
