Quintus was a fool. He'd stupidly swam across the sea in the middle of a storm, he'd nearly died (okay, so that was an exaggeration) -- he'd hurt his leg, though it had healed quickly and he'd met a girl that was an utter pain in the ass on the island. She'd helped him, as well as irritated him, but he strangely found himself wondering if he would see her again. And he hadn't found his mother... though, admittedly, he'd stopped trying as soon as he found his way off that damned island. She was fine, he was certain, and he was not. And there was no way in hell that Quintus Nero was going to go crawling back to his parents, alone and afraid. No... he was stronger now. Or so he told himself. But he did miss his siblings. Cassius and Amalia especially, but who knew where they had ran off to? He missed his younger siblings less, though he would never admit that. Even Arian he missed, though he hadn't bonded much with her. Still his paws took him back toward the lands of Seracia, a place he had once called home. He had grown larger since he has left, nearly his father's size now, though not nearly as impressive in stature. Slowly and warily he made his way to the borders, trailing after the girl's scent, which still lingered here. He could only hope she would still be here. Quintus lifted his head to the sky, letting a call to her escape his lips.

Destruction had disappeared, either that or she had gone with Aiden. Arian spent the whole day prior looking for her, after all Vi had given them permission to stay in the territory till they felt it was okay to leave. The girl, was lost, but she didn't mind, maybe it was finally time to decide what she wanted. At first it was to be the heir to Seracia but that never happened. Now it was Covari, and he wanted no part of the pack regardless if the alphess was respectful or not. There was plenty of places to go, but maybe being a loner would open a new path for her. The call of someone achingly familiar made her go towards the noise subconsciously. It was one of her brothers, and of course she knew that she hadn't been too close with her siblings but she had one time taken them to see the fireflies that had been fun hadn't it? They were all adravendi's and they were important to her. Her paws stopped as she saw Quintus, did he know? Did he know that Seacia is gone? She approached with a smile her tail wagging slightly, "Quintus!" she greeted. Well she wouldn't let the information destroy this meeting. After all, she hadn't seen her family in forever. The healer just hadn't had the chance. Even though she knew where most of them were. TALK LIKE THIS

Would things ever be as good as they had once been, he wondered? They'd been the children of the King and the Queen, and potentially could've inherited the entire kingdom. Everything had been happy then, and he couldn't help but wonder if things would ever return to such a pleasant state -- but he knew things had changed, whether he liked it or not. Quintus was never one to show much outward affection to his siblings, but his gentle smile said it all. His expression was devoid of the normal haughty look he wore, and the warmth that shone in his sea-green eyes was genuine. "How have you been?" he asked, his deep voice ringing with a fair bit of uncertainty. What had changed here? The scent of the lands seemed off, and he wrinkled his nose as he let his gaze dance across the horizon. "And do you know where the rest of our family is? Cassius or Amalia? Fin and Caeto?"
