Dutiron certainly had no plans on ever leaving his mate's side, perhaps the children hadn't imagined they would either though for him it was entirely different. It was a fact, something he knew he could never let happen unless for whatever reason it was Novel that departed. As much as she felt she relied on him, he too relied upon her and though he never cared to spend any thought on the matter, he didn't know what he would do without her.
"Oh, how much I miss his sweet face." It had been hard to lose Anthem, hopefully soon they would reunite with the boy and find that he was ok. He believed the others would have cared for him, though to see Anthem with their own eyes was probably the only way they would really feel any release from their worries.

"So will we stay here the night and continue tomorrow? Or are you as in a hurry as I am?" As reluctant as he was to move now there was certainly a part of the man that was eager to track down his family and finally reunite with them. Of course fears would tempt him to hold on a little longer, enjoy this moment in the event that things went badly though of course if all went as well as they hoped, they'd likely regret taking that little longer to reach them. It'd been a long enough wait already. "It is your choice, I will be right by your side." He responded softly, the loving nuzzles continuing.
