There was so much she needed to explain to her -- and while Isolde had grown significantly since they had been together last, she couldn't help but feel as though she was still a child who she needed to shelter and protect. A sigh left her lips as she gazed on the girl's beautiful face, admiring the flawless hue of her pelt, the stunning markings that adorned her coat; she was lovely, and she only wished she could remain untainted forever. But already she had destroyed that innocence by leaving her alone, forcing her to fend for herself. She was a yearling now, and Epiphron could be honest with her, even if it might be difficult.

Her own smile would mirror her daughter's, illuminating her features with happiness despite everything else. "I've missed you terribly," she told her honestly, happy to embrace her again. Epiphron had once been terrified of being a parent, but it everything had come much more naturally than she would've ever anticipated. There was nothing forced, only genuine love and adoration for her children. "I haven't seen Fin yet, but his scent is fresh. I'm sure he is fine," she assured Isolde gently, lapping instinctively at the fur on the daughter's neck, grooming it between her sentences. "I am not sure about Caeto, either. Though I think we should find him soon." She was sure the older children were fine, but knew she ought to find them and ensure their safety soon.

The final question was a bit more difficult to answer, and she found her ears flattening against her skull as she considered it. "Your dad is fine," she started warily. "We've... had some disagreements. Though I'm sure he will be around soon." The tone of her voice was unstable and hesitant, as she didn't really know how else to explain it to Isolde without making her worry more than she already would.
