Ever since the encounter with the monster of the lake he'd been avoiding it... But honestly he couldn't stay away from it... It was as if he was being called to it by some unknown force...

Maybe it was the rune he refused to put down, except when he was sleeping, he carried it everywhere. Today was no different as he was pulled to the lake... But he wasn't alone at the raging purple waters today, Valeska was there, she was murmuring something as he approached. He couldn't quite make out what she was saying but she soon noticed him and explained she was praying to the five, then asked what was in his mouth.

His tail hadn't quite begun to heal yet, unable to find a medic so far (of his own accord), and he kept it tucked close to his back legs. The thin appendage with the scarred tip, skin exposed and blistered, quivered as the boy approached his leader. Mrphm mrrrp mrrhh... He started to explain before realizing he was still clutching the stone tightly. Placing it between the two of them he stared at it, nose pointed straight at the thing, blinking indigo optics at it as if it would move.

I dunno... But... I found it after the lake monster attacked me... Glitch explained with a stern look upon his features. He flicked his eyes up at Valeska for a moment, expecting her to speak words of wisdom and courage to him about it, his features softening into something more sad and pitiful.
