[occ-um...this isn't a continuation from below, its a new thread altogether.]

.x] Briar reached into his makeshift pocket inside his vest, then withdrew his hand. he looked at it, the square's fountain blurry in the background-in his palm was a beautiful wolf figurine that glimmered in the sunlight, making it look almost alive. Briar's opposite fingers clenched into a fist before loosening; he'd been planning on giving it to Lily for her birthday (never mind that he wasn't exactly sure when that was). [x]

"Not that this piece of crap will mean anything to her now," he bitterly growled, under his breath.

.x] impulsively, he spun and hurled his hard work into a building's stone wall. it shattered. after a moment he felt his resolve crack and his anger drain away. squatting slowly, face devoid of emotion, Briar gripped a handful of shards, which had sprayed to his feet. his gut twisted, making him feel sick (like when you're nervous and have the butterflies) and it was all he could do not to throw up his breakfast. he liked the pain as the ceramic bit into his and the blood began to trickle down the creases of his palm-it made him feel less hollow. [x]

[occ-he's not committing suicide or anything...also, the "not meaning anything to her" comment his because now Lily is a "real royal" and he doesn't feel like there's anything he could offer her that her to-be husband can't. so, even though he's sunk into depression he's also in one of those moods where anyone who tries to sympathize is likely to wind up missing teeth (he'll take his anger/frustration out on them.)]
