MON CHILDREN? @Ephraim @Mallaidh also assuming thur told him whats going on can chaaange if need be

He had not planned on departing immediately, anyway, but the news of Drageda's recent turmoils confirm a desire to linger. Étoille does not wish to be away from Mirabelle for too long -- but she has the aid of Trigeda's wolves to help with the children and he knows she will not mind if he lingers an extra week or two more than originally planned. Not that he fancies getting involved in another war, should the circumstance arise; he has met the woman in the Sound before and knows she is to be taken seriously.

But if he is going to be staying, he wants to see his ... wards, if that is the word. He'd not gotten to say goodbye to choupinou properly, for which he harbors some guilt. And Ephraim is back with Heda as well, and from what he's discerned has proven to be a fine young lad, much to Étoille's pleasure. And then there are the remaining petits, the boys. He does not have the same bond with them as he does Furi and Ephraim, but he cared for them when they were tiny, and so he still thinks of them fondly. (His feelings on those that have left -- are nonexistent. He is a simple man and does not, alas, have the same instinctive hatred of Drageda's natrona, though he disapproves of Wildfire's choice if only because it caused Heda grief, presumably.)

Now where might Ephraim or Mallaidh be? Lazily he makes his way through the redwood, keeping an eye and nose out to suss them out.
