Redhawk Caldera we exist living a thousand lives, side by side

@Sebastian, @Burke, @Malice (sorry about the double tag mar!). Please let @Seabreeze reply first as she's traveling with mato! c:

The journey from King Elk Forest to Redhawk Caldera is not terribly far news that the druid hoped might lighten some of the burden his father bore at knowing his children (some of them) fled the nest. He hadn’t asked Nova to come with him, not because he was trying to be inconsiderate ( not that such a possibility of him being seen as such had even occurred to him …because it hadn’t ) but because she had expressed intense dislike of the Caldera and the empyrean was fairly certain his sister would have declined the invitation. He does not wish to stand in the middle of whatever misunderstanding that had possibly occurred between her and their father thus the druid did not ask. Instead, he’d asked Aerlinn out of the hopes that she would come to meet his father — the only parent he had left these days and for reasons unknown to Mato it was important to him that they meet and ( hopefully ) get along. Despite how Mato had not been expecting it Aerlinn had come to mean a lot to him in such a short amount of time and this want for them to know one another and get along with one another was natural.

His pace slows as the pair nears the borders, glimpsing at her out of the corner of his eye as his steps cease all together. Silently, he asks her if she is ready with his eyes before he offers her a gentle brush of his muzzle and press of his nose to her cheek if she allows it before he tips his head back and lets out a summons.
