some of this stuff might be slightly different from what I said in the previous thread. stick to this one, please - I'm working on revamping my boi :3)

Astrum had never known how awkward family reunions were until he had been invited to one.

As he bounded over the hill and toward his future, he found himself flashing back to the past. The moment summer camp had ended last year, he hadn't even gotten a second to reflect on the whirlwind of events that had happened - an odd invitation had arrived from his sister. Psyche. He ruffled his torn wing nervously, remembering just how his injury had come about.

Astrum's business had gotten off to a good start, but painting sales quickly fell after a few weeks and debts skyrocketed, leaving him just another artist struggling to stay afloat financially. He had moved in with Psyche and his father, leading to a lot of strained conversation. Relations between the three of them had always been forced, but ever since they reunited, it had been even worse.

He paused, taking in a deep breath of the clean air. He crested the top of the hill, and with a surge of happiness, spotted the line of cabins. And, if he squinted hard enough, an amber and gold figure standing near them.

Skidding down the hill, he closed his eyes and let the euphoria overtake him.
