Fin had worried for her son when he hadn't returned home. She'd thought for certain that no matter what emotional struggles her son was experiencing that at least the thought of helping take care of his baby siblings would have drawn him back. In spite of her desire to go after him, they'd decided to allow him some time on his own. It seemed to be perhaps the best thing to do, but still she had barely slept through the night and was up early, listening and watching and waiting for her eldest to come home.

The kids were fussing up a storm when Eljay arrived, but they seemed preoccupied enough with each other for her to slip out when she finally caught his approaching scent. Fin emerged from the den and smiled to see his face, though her nerves caught at the crumpled way he stood at their doorstep. She nudged his temple softly in greeting and placed a kiss upon his nose before sitting back and studying him with concern.

"How you doing, kid?" Fin asked gently.
