Blacktail Deer Plateau Ready to go on an adventure

Pema was only being logical, of course, but Burr felt his mental heels dig into the ground in spite of that. He didn't want to blame his parents for Rowana's disappearance. Even he knew that she had chosen to up and leave of her own accord. He knew deep down that it wasn't Mawk's or Illecebra's fault that Rowana's free spirit had flown the nest and not found its way back. Nevertheless, a part of him hurt deeply that they had been gone for so long as Cyron's behalf, and a part of him wondered if they would have spent so long looking for him, had Morningside not gone to inform Easthollow of his whereabouts.

So he fell silent with a quiet, "yeah," that left much of his feelings unsaid and plodded on in tense silence until Pema asked about Mawk. "No," he answered honestly. "I was glad to see him, and I don't even know how to talk to them about it."
