Shopping took a detour
Rava coming home

The trip back home felt longer than he had thought it would, but he was still determined to make it home instead of stopping for the night. He hadn't told Void that he was going to go find the slavers today, only that he was going to go out and try to find some traders to look for more bolts of cloth for his crafting. He certainly hadn't planned on being gone this long, but seeing how much the cloak helped Rava made the extra delay and the injuries worth it. He was glad that he did at least take the time to wash some of the excess blood out of his fur so he wouldn't give his husband an absolute heart attack when he walked through the door. He had imagined he probably looked rough, but when he saw his reflection in the river he looked far worse than he had even imagined.
By the time they made it back to the falls it was dark, the light from the moon guiding them back to the den he built. "I can give you a better tour in the morning if you want," he told Rava with a soft smile. "But I think we could both use some rest first, don't you?" He led her up to the entrance of the den, the space in front of it covered with a patio of stones with a fire pit in the middle, the arch that made the doorway lined with wooden birch tree branches. He stepped inside, not immediately finding his husband on the patio or in the main chamber of the den. "Wait here for a moment," he told her softly once she was inside, "I'm just going to go see if Void is awake."
He walked over to their bedroom, nudging his way past the pelt that covered the smaller doorway to the larger of the two adjacent rooms. "Void? Are you still awake?" he asked gently while he started unbuckling his armor, slipping it off over his head so he could hang it on one of the hooks on the wall. He'd need to spend some time properly cleaning his armor tomorrow, but for now he was far too tired to do much more than introduce his husband to their new den mate and get Rava settled in their new home.
