why is everything burning || kuranosuke
「☪」—» By now, Toboe was pretty confident in his abilities with the bond that tugged at the edges of his mind. He'd been here for awhile, though some of his memories seemed... fuzzy, as though they'd been blurred over. He didn't dwell on them, though, preferring to push forward in his time here. And, at the moment, that included following the pull of the bond, paws drumming against the floor of the forest as he ran at breakneck speed towards the partner he knew he was heading to.
