Arrille felt his ears fall more at Charon's additional words. There was nothing that could help him now, at least that's what he thought. That was until he felt a leg pull him close, and out of surprise if quickly glanced up to see whom did the action to see Maude.

"I'm sorry we couldn't find him...I know you wanted to see him again" he whispered quietly to Maude. His ear flicked when Charon mentioned that he could visit, but he didn't think much of it.
