((All of the no I can muster. >8T
And ooo, maybe it was a scenario in which having confidence and not being a doormat actually screwed him over. Perhaps there was a war and some humans wanted to settle in (Pocahontas minus the romance) and Rune actually had a pair at the time and rallied everyone to rebel. It didn't work out and he was given the chance to back off or die. He scurries off to live in the forest, humans set up shop, time passes, and everyone's basically forgotten all that s**t because everyone but Rune is dead, so he can start over as a wuss. Shitty backstory is shitty.))
