It hadn't been long since Casso had returned to join the family again. He couldn't stop thinking about the message that he had passed on from Baine, and he had been strongly considering going to visit her. The message that Casso gave him wouldn't leave his mind, and he had made up his mind to go see her. Only...while he was preparing a few things for the trip, the voice that had haunted his thoughts suddenly sounded in the air and for a moment, he thought maybe it was a figment of his imagination since he'd been thinking about her more often than usual the last couple of days. Baine? The howl slowly died off while the surprise held him, and then he managed to shake it off after he realized it really was her voice. The alabaster king wagged his tail - something that didn't happen often these days - as he set off to meet her at the borders.

Honestly, he was surprised that she had made the trip up to see him considering what Casso had mentioned about her being ill. He hoped she hadn't pushed herself too hard or made things worse by coming up to see him. He hadn't expected to see her so soon if he was honest. If at all. For a long time, he regretted taking her to Ruina. Thought that maybe he was a terrible person for taking her somewhere that turned out to be so...evil. And had he known things were going to turn out the way they did with his brother, he would have never convinced her to go. But it was out of loyalty and love for his brother at the time that he had even considered going to support him in the first place.

It didn't take long for the alabaster king to reach the borders. For her to come into view. She still looked as beautiful as she did the first night they met all that time ago in the desert. He felt some heat rising to his cheeks at the thought as he suddenly felt foolish. Even with Heloise, he couldn't exactly remember a time where he felt like this out of nowhere. While yes, he did love Heloise at one point - and part of him still did considering she was the mother of his first litter - she had broken his heart when she left him and his children without any warning.

Baine though...he didn't have a reason to be mad or upset with her for leaving. Whatever reasons she had to do so, he understood. Ruina was a terrible place, and if that was the reason she left with Zuriel, he understood completely.

He approached her, a smile on his face and a friendly, sparkling look in his eyes. "Baine, it's good to see you again after all this time..."
