Oooooof, I don’t know what happened to Val’s eyes ;-; Anywho... Scene from Clarence’s point-of-veiw- Clarence was sitting down, as Val padded over to him and sat beside him. Clarence nodded to her and she nodded back,” Hey, Clarence.”. Clarence replied, a distant,” Hey,” as he stared out in front of him, his thoughts elsewhere. “Whatcha doin’ buddy?” Val asked, flicking an ear. “Thinking.” The usual, energetic creature replied casually. “Oookay, so whatcha thinking about?” Val asked, amused. “Just thinking about how sick Valor is. I don’t think that they’ll last much longer.” He said making sure that his voice sounded sad enough so that Val wouldn’t get offended. Val’s gaze darkened,” Yeah, I was thinking about that too.”. “I was also thinking about who should lead, once they’re gone. Somebody who knows the land well. I think it should be me.” He voiced his thoughts. Val let out a snort,” Pffff- you crack me up, Clarence. You? The next leader? Haha, thanks I needed that.” Val said, smiling at her friend. Clarence felt his heart shatter. Val only thought he was joking, Clarence thought sadly. He put on a fake smile,” Heh, yeah.”. Val nodded to him,” I need to go help, Kegan and Leo. See you tonight.” Val said as she stood up and Clarence nodded,” See ya.”. Once she was out of view, Clarence slumped down and laid his head on his paws. It hurt him more than he’d like to admit, that Val didn’t believe he could be the next leader. He sighed softly,” Oh, Niko, if only you were here. You’d believe in me.”
