(Weeeeeee I’ll yeet a starter soonish)

Resh was walking around in the depths of Eden, his cloak wrapped around him and his face obscured by the hood. He cradled his daughter, Juni, with one arm, gently stroking her hair as she slept. He pinned his ears to the sides of his head as a particularly strong gust of wind hit him, growling quietly at the mild inconvenience.

As he was walking, Resh spotted a lone figure wandering around. They seemed lost. He narrowed his eyes and started following them from a distance. He tilted his head, his his eyebrows raising curiously. The figure looked about in their younger teen years. What were they doing so deep in the Eye of Eden?

He decided to just follow them for now. If they were up to something, then he’d want to stay hidden. If they looked in his direction, they might notice him. And at that point he would just approach them anyway.

Resh paused when the figure froze. He studied them silently for a while, debating whether it was a good idea to get any closer. He finally decided to start walking towards them, slowly. He didn’t want to frighten them. Though that would probably be difficult, considering the rumors about him that had spread like wildfire since he disappeared.

As Resh got closer, he noted this person’s nervousness, his brows furrowing with concern. What caused them to end up here? Did their parent leave them here? It wouldn’t have been the first time something like that has happened.

Resh stopped a respectful distance away from the person, stifling a small laugh as she flares her wings out. She was clearly scared, why would it be funny? He huffed quietly to himself.

Resh looked down at Juni, shifting his cloak slightly so he could see her. He whispered softly to her, “Wake up, little one. I need to set you down for a bit.”

The small moth stirred and opened her eyes when Resh spoke. She stared up at him for a moment, then chirped at him, nodding. Resh knelt down and slowly set a Juni down on the ground. “Stay close.”

Juni wrapped her cloak around herself, then looked up and stared at the girl in front of her and Resh. She chirped again, a little louder this time, staring at her with wide eyes.

Resh lowered the hood of his cloak and looked at the girl again. This time he spoke audibly. His voice was deep and surprisingly gentle. “What are you doing here?” He sounded genuinely worried. “It’s dangerous to wander this far into Eden, especially by yourself.”

Resh stared at the girl for a moment, then took a deep breath. “It’s alright. Don’t apologize, you haven’t done anything wrong.” He stayed silent for a few moments, then continued. “Where are your parents?” They couldn’t have been anywhere near, but it probably wouldn’t hurt to ask. Probably,

Juni took a few steps toward the girl, tilting her head curiously. She had so many questions to ask. But Resh was already talking to the girl, so Juni’s questions would have to wait. Instead, Juni just stared, as moths tend to do when they see someone new to them.

Resh suppressed a sigh. All these kids have been paired up with really bad parents lately. It was… strange, to say the least. “Sorry.”

Juni looked back at Resh. She knew he said to stay close, but her curiosity got the better of her. Besides, she wasn’t that far away.

Resh looked at Juni and nodded slightly, smiling a bit. “Huh. Juni usually isn’t a fan of meeting new people. You must be really interesting to her.”

Juni walked quickly toward the girl again, stopping to stand right in front of her. She looked up at her and gave her a small, shy wave. “Hi.”

Juni reached out and took the girl’s hand without hesitation, chirping happily at her. Her cloak shifted over a bit, revealing the large scar on her arm. She didn’t seem to notice.

Resh watched the girl greet Juni, not moving from his position on the ground. He noticed how she kept an eye on him. He wasn’t really bothered, and honestly, he was surprised that the girl hadn’t run away from him by now. He probably could have moved to a more comfortable position by now, but he was afraid he’d spook the girl if he did.

Juni blinked at the girl, then looked at her hand, slightly confused. She shrugged and wrapped her cloak around herself again.

Resh stared at the girl for a moment, then slowly extended his own hand, not really expecting her to take it or anything. “I’m Resh Corvus. You… may have heard of me before.” Surely the girl would hear his name and run away. Then again, Juni had never heard anything about Resh, so maybe it was the same for this girl.

(melts)

Resh quickly withdrew his hand back into his cloak, looking down at the ground. He questioned leaving the girl alone, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it. He’d never be able to live with himself if he just left her to die.

His thoughts are interrupted by a sudden lightning strike in the distance, followed by loud thunder. Resh flinches and quickly stands up. “…Fuck. A storm.” He scoops Juni up into his arms, then reaches towards the girl. He hesitates and steps back. We need to get to shelter. But I can’t just snatch her up, that would be weird- but does it really matter if it’s to save her life? He almost looks… scared.

(Hahaha why am I like this)

(Bestie y’all are both jumpy asf it’s ok)

Resh looked around for a second, then looked at the girl. “There’s a cave nearby. If we hurry, we can make it before the worst of the storm hits.” His grip on Juni tightened a bit, and he held out his hand again. “I know you don’t want to, but you’ll have to trust me just this once.” So for the love of Megabird, please let me help-

(Page 2 woooooo)

Resh kept a firm grip on the girl’s hand, and she could probably notice just how tense he was at the moment. He glanced back for a split second, then starts running, making sure the girl could keep up.

Juni clung to Resh’s shirt and buried her face in his chest, trembling. Resh held her close and muttered reassurances to her.

The wind grew harsher as the storm drew nearer, and it was a miracle that Resh’s hair hadn’t whipped into his face and blinded him yet. He narrows his eyes and tightens his grip on the girl’s hand. We’re almost there. It’s fine, we’re gonna be fine-

Resh kept running for a while, then finally spotted the cave that he was looking for. He stopped at the entrance of the cave and quickly went inside, setting Juni down once they were deep enough into the cave. He looked over at the girl and let go of her hand, sitting on the ground next to her. “Are you okay?” He was breathing heavily, although that was more from anxiety than anything else.

Juni seemed to notice Resh’s increasing anxiety, and held onto his arm, leaning against him. She squeezed her eyes shut for a few moments, then opened them again and stared at the girl.
