Pavitra hadn't left Adalyn alone in the woods. He'd been positive she had been behind him. The clouds had obscured the light, and he could no longer see her, making it impossible to track her back down. He was too frightful to call for her, else he might attract the wrong attention of something more dangerous than darkness.
He waited, chewing at his bottom lip. He was worried about her. It was dangerous for a female to be alone. "heh.. yeah? What good would I do? Not a bit." He frowned at himself, looking down. He'd been so hard on his self the passed week or so and he knew exactly why. He was falling for Rajput. He wasn't stupid. He was just weak. And yeah, a little stupid. Okay, yes, stupid.
Instead of parting ways, he wanted to stay with Raj more and more. Thats why he scurries off on nights, and on random trips. He needs to get away or else say something he'd very much regret. Him and Rajput both.
But.. Adalyn. Was it him being angry over Raj, or did the mare bring out a manly side of him? He didn't flee for cover but instead waited steadily in this darkness, hoping for light so that he can go find her.
He had no idea, but he waited. For a long time.
Dawn, finally twinkling on through the white barked trees lit the forest floor. As soon as he could see once more, Pavitra turned the way he'd come, looking every where for her.
He'd dropped her mask when he realized she wasn't with him. He was going to call for her, but fear took his breath and in his worry, left it behind. He felt very, very guilty. It was almost stealing.
He had to find her.

He was sure here was the spot he'd dropped the mask. The notably, old tree, even in the dark was recognizable. This tree had witnessed so much in its old age. But who would of taken her mask? The sun was peeping from the horizon, and everything was dimly lit. The forest at first glowed blue, not tinged orange by more of the sun's stare.
He felt it was safe enough to let out his voice. "Adalyn!" He waited for his heart to beat twice, pounding, before calling again. Silence still following his voice, Pavitra continued the opposite direction he'd went last night. Maybe she hadn't strayed too far?
"Adalyn, its Pavitra!"
He wasn't so much frustrated than guilty. He'd promised her safety, failed. Carried her mask for her, dropped and lost it. He felt terrible.
He even thought to taking flight again. Maybe finding her in the air.

With no response, he slowed but did not stop. He trotted, his wings flinching, rising, and falling. A nervous habit he developed. "Hello?" he said, not as loudly, eyes searching left and right.
Again, louder. "Hello? Is there anyone around?" He slowly came to a stand still, smelling the air around him, straining his ears. Out of the corner of his eye though, something black caught his attention. Black didn't belong in this forest until sun set. Turning his head swiftly, he saw what it was and felt his blood run cold.
"..who.. moved it." Was his only question right then. The second question was had Adalyn ran into this creature?
Swallowing deeply, Pavitra headed towards the mask to reclaim it so that when.. or if.. he found Adalyn, he can return it to her. How scared she must be with out it!
