AARYN
Aaryn had barely been listening, since most of what Tarkyn was relaying only reflected what Gar had already told him about Hholdyn's insistence about what he'd seen.
Aaryn's mind kept drifting, wanting to land on images of his mother's beast watching him from the trees, or images of Elreth under the Weeping Tree. His mind and body seemed erratic and unable to grasp hold of any focus. He was growing tenser, and beginning to question if he should even be in this meeting when Elreth singled Tarkyn out and it caught his attention.
The Captain's unease made Aaryn force himself to focus. To measure the male to ensure he wasn't hiding anything.
Tarkyn cleared his throat, then addressed Elreth directly. "The reason it has taken so long for me to bring this to you is because Hholdyn made one more claim that I find… unlikely. Yet, just like the rest of his story, the details didn't change as we put him under pressure, or returned to questions we'd already asked."
