@Bobby wouldn't leave her side following their eventful reunion. After Portia's checkup, he tried to escort her to Hougeda, only for Wildfire to emphatically shake her head. "I'll never set foot in a cave again," she told him regretfully, "and I'll explain why, one day. But I don't want to think about that right now. How about I show you my tree?" And she led him to her hollow redwood, which was just one more sight for sore eyes.
He sat beside the little doorway as she slipped inside, curled into a ball and fell fast asleep. When she woke much later—well into the next day, in fact—she found her son keeping his faithful vigil outside. "Let me catch you something to eat," Wildfire offered, motioning for him to follow as she moved deeper into the woods. "Have you heard any news?" she wondered. Bobby shook his head. Wildfire put her worries out of her mind, focusing her attention on her son that so resembled her own father, and the bright January sun that warmed their backs through the bare treetops.
