Livin' life_______________________________________________________________________Not long after Sewn became a part of the Flora for the first time, the colony started seeming... distant to him. The other members strayed away from him with time, tending moreso to each other while Sewn remained behind. Was it the fact his transformation resulted in no clearly administered role? Was it his heightened levels of his regained free will? Was it because he refused to convert anyone outside of the will of the forest? Or was it merely his paranoia and assumptions getting the better of him? Either way, he no longer felt comfortable nor welcome around the colony, so on the night of a new moon, he decided to depart. He left the forest on his own accord, and returned to society. While hesitant, he felt that he didn't have many other options. Utilizing the current transit of the moon, he made it back to his residence without much trouble, where he proceeded to conceal himself in thick clothing to hide his unusual aspects, most people confusing him for just a very green- furred wolf with antisocial qualities.
With time, however, Sewn found himself opening back up slowly, having come to realize that many furfolk seemed to have much more odd and unique aspects than him at many given times. Pretty soon, he started wandering out in basic clothing, a considered step- up from the usual hoodie and snow pants, which were unbearable to wear in the standard temperature of his town. He found himself taking long, relaxing walks on the beach at dusk, better than his mind being exposed to serotonin- inducing vines back in the forest. He wonders what Malek would think of him now.
He hopes he's satisfied.
During one of his walks, he stumbles across a lynx named Zoe, who instantly expresses fascination at Sewn's particular appearance. At first, it started off with a humble greeting, chat about how life is going between the two of them, then departure. However, with each walk taken, the two stumble upon each other over and over again, until it was taken as a sign, with Zoe asking Sewn if he would like to pay a visit, in which he agrees.
Now, the two of them have a close bond formed between them, being considered close friends among both Sewn and Zoe's friend groups. Here, they're shown together at Zoe's 21st birthday, relaxing after a long day out at the boardwalk. Because at the end of the day, relaxing within the lap of a Flora, lying against a soft, fuzzy-yet-dampened belly never felt so relieving.
Weeks after the party, Sewn found himself contemplating how he was able to leave the forest, as it was perfectly capable of preventing him from leaving, using its vines as restraints as well as alerting the rest of the colony to his location. Seeing as it didn't, the forest must have still cared. Perhaps it realized what he had truly desired.
Well, at least it was a reassuring conclusion._______________________________________________________________________Sorry if my attempts at storytelling flopped a bit here, been going through another funk. Hope you enjoy nonetheless!
