Dimitri isn't far on the heels of Siobhan. He worried for a moment that perhaps Darragh had gotten herself in danger, but Eabha and Ksyusha would have been much louder if that had been the case. But what he doesn't expect to see is Alder, looking very uncomfortable as his most forward daughters rush to say hello.

"This one is welcome," he calls, ordering Darragh to stand down. His summer child glances back at him, then gives Alder a sharp glare that says that she's watching him. But she lets Dimitri pass. Dimitri makes a note to touch each daughter with his nose as he passes, a small ritual that ensures their continued safety. And then, standing up next to Darragh, who acts like she's going to protect him despite the fact that she's much smaller than him, Dimitri smiles at Alder.

"Alder. It's been too long. Come, rest. Avon's borders are always open to you." He glances to the Seasons behind him. "Girls, have you introduced yourself to your uncle Alder? He's my brother, you know."
