His lungs ache somethin' fierce, a burn that seemed ever-so-slightly worse with each passing day, despite how long he's had to get used to it now. No breaks, never respite— it's thick since the fire, only worse by the day. It's a miracle that he could even drag himself here, on the cusp of the territory, bordering something entirely new. Blankly, he gazes out to the unclaimed land, wondering whatever it was that when on out there, a world entirely different from there own. Hell, it still felt as if he already was. He's lost in it all, the springing of new groups around them, all as prosperous, if not more than they were here in the swamp. A new leader, borders and the like.
He's just so tired.
With a low grunt, he settles onto the land below. No longer is it marsh, or the dryness of the surrounding forest. Maybe... something in between. And it here he settles, half-tucked into mud. His eyes slip closed in hopes of relaxation, something tranquil, a rest from it all. The thunderpath is far enough not to assault his senses with sounds and smells. The rumble of monsters is occasional, and quiet, though the tang still lies underneath it all. Can't be much worse than what's already in his lungs.
The sigh he lets out hurts more than it should. Peace is what he strives for, but his brows still strain under the weight of his thoughts. The sun begins its dive, lower into the sky. He has some time before sunset yet... The afternoon shines tauntingly bright.
