Old Goat and the Alien

Avari keeps to themself. They're a goat-shape cosmoran, a member of the Cleaners' Union, and a bit of a grump. That suits them just fine. They don't have any friends, and that's fine, because they have siblings. And if their siblings have all grown away from them to start their own lives, then that's fine, too. Really.But then Avari meets a lost alien in the Elder Grove, and that is not fine. Ever...
