love will find a way

Though he'd only been gone for a short while, he missed Twig just as if he'd been gone for months by the time he finally made it back home. Corvus was tired from the journey he'd made, and though he longed for rest even more than that he longed to see his wife again. As tired as his joints were after the trip, he felt suddenly re-energized as he he crossed Avalon's borders and headed to the den he and Twig shared.

Not bothering to alert her to his arrival, assuming it'd be a welcome surprise - she was expecting him soon, surely, but she wouldn't know the exact moment he'd be back home - he made a beeline for their den and was pleased to find she was already there. A smile painted his aging features long before he saw her, though it only grew when he poked his head in and saw her. "Did you miss me?" He asked, knowing the answer but wanting to hear it anyway - he'd tell her a thousand times he missed her if she wanted him to.
