Return of the Vagabond

Ears perked and her head immediately rose when she heard that howl. She'd been waiting for a few weeks, the days feeling longer without the presence of her son. Even through everything, he had remained with her. Not because she begged him or anything, but she didn't question why he chose to stay here either. Lifting herself to her feet, she quickly made her way to the mines where the call came from. She did not hesitate in her arrival, and as soon as she saw him she let out a happy bark and approached, ferociously nuzzling him. "I am happy to see you're home safe!" She whined. While she didn't want to step away, she had to eventually to learn about what he'd found. And she knew too, that she would also have to inform him of Vereux's passing while he was away.
