★ WHEN MY HEART IS MADE FROM GOLD AND FORGIVENESS SEEMS TOO BOLD
There had been a lot of joiners as of late - so many that Hazel honestly couldn't keep track of them all. It was partly her responsibility to know them all, too. But there were only so many she could remember, alright? The ones she did remember came with significant events that happened during their joining. Like Pixel, or Joel: both had crash-landed on Ascendant territory with injuries. She remembered August, too, because of his crow, but she had yet to see him around. The only other newcomer she could genuinely remember was Dale Cooper, the Aussie shepherd, for his odd mention of Starry.
It was so odd; this stranger that they had never met before showed up on their border and asked to speak to their leader. Part of her assumed that he might have heard of Starry when they had passed on the message of their leadership change to the other clans, but that didn't fit right. Dale had asked if he could speak to Starry, like he was still alive, which meant he hadn't heard the news. So...how did he know Starry at all?
The question had been persistently nagging at her since she had met the shepherd. In fact, she was so engaged in her curiosity, she was able to momentarily forget the irritation with Bastille that was constantly humming under her skin. Had she noticed, she would have been grateful. The anger was exhausting, both to keep at bay and maintain. Fear buzzed alongside it, making things all the more difficult.
Letting herself forget about Bastille and his self-destructive tendencies, Hazel picked herself up from where she sat in Margy's garden and began the trek to find Dale and ask him a couple questions. Or...maybe just to talk, first, if questions were too forward. She genuinely liked the guy, and found him interesting and polite. When she reached his room, the girl poked her head inside the door, hoping to find him inside. "Dale Cooper?"
