What a Rare Trip, Indeed

Faolan had quite a fun morning that day. First, he had stopped by Queen Loccian's home to drop off some new items for Enola. His plan was to try and get her to associate scents with different things from around Seracia so she wouldn't be so hesitant to explore. Due to her vision being taken from her without a choice, he wanted to make sure she had as many opportunities to expand her mind and her other senses as he could. If he didn't have some type of emotional attachment to her publicly displayed, then it would be obvious by how much he cared for her to be more independent.
It was Enola on his thoughts that morning when he met his mother outside of his parents' den. He saw the signs of anxiety building up in Silent's eyes and he knew she hadn't taken her morning dose of herbs. A sigh escaped his lips, but he smiled as he nuzzled her lovingly and encouraged her with words only a son could bestow to his mother. After sitting down, giving her more nuzzles and offering her morning herbs, Silent began to come around and she nodded to his suggestions. He didn't tell his mother where they would be going -- it would be a "surprise" and he intended on making sure it was a pleasant one.
The two of them walked side-by-side through the forest until they reached the borders. Silent hesitated and Faolan watched her silently, noticing how she struggled with the decision. His nose met her neck and he softly voiced, "It's okay, Mama. I'll be right here." To his delight, Silent took a deep breath and stepped over the protective borders...and didn't faint. It was something that he hadn't seen in months and it did his heart good. He was sure it would be good for his mother, too.
As they walked together, Silent didn't seem to notice where they were going. Faolan figured she had something on her mind, but didn't verbally ponder. He knew if she wanted to talk about it, then she would. Faolan was an open ear and shoulder to lean on if someone needed it; Silent was definitely the first person he would offer them for. By the time they reached the edges of the grass and beach, he cleared his throat to announce their presence. His mother looked up and took in all the details in front of her. She stepped out to walk towards the watery sand and he followed as if he were a pup again.
While he kept an eye out for anything that would spook her, she spoke of remembering Song and that she wasn't a young one anymore. He nodded and continued to watch her until she voiced her stability without him there. A smile appeared on his face and he silently slipped from her side to check out the tide pools that were a bit away from her. Even if he seemed preoccupied by the sea urchins and shells, he kept an ear out for anyone approaching the part of the beach they were on.
