She's been wandering in the in-between.

Avon, Howling River, the edges of Fate's Respite.

Always moving, always trailing after Pennyroyal or leading him to food, did she know anything else at this point?

Duty kept her close to the boy, love for her family too of course, but it was duty that ran in her veins as thick as it had in Fleetwood. It's been...9 months...since they had left without telling their parents, 9 months since they had seen them alive, 9 months of being the sole caretaker on their hunt for Runes and Spiderlily.

But then she heard Valeska's call to come home, faintly, almost as if it was a wish her mind made up as she huddled against the cold, but then Amaris's call was in the distance.

Confirming what she had heard.

The acolyte left her little den and threw her head back to howl in return, to spread the word of 'come home' where Valeska's voice couldn't reach.
