Lost Creek Hollow and i'll take my armour off

The lack of Merrick's scent didn't even go noticed to Laurel at first. It was Terance who showed up first. His greeting was surprisingly warm. Laurel held her head low in respect for him, knowing it would do her no good to be snarky at him now; when she was looking for Merrick at best and a home at worst. Terance, she greeted with a smile. They might not have parted in the best of ways, but now she had Lucas back and it seemed Terance, too, realised she had acted upon emotion that day they left.

We found my son Lucas, she shared. Indra uttered a single word, one that was much more important than anything else. Laurel looked at Terance before she would plead her case, as whether Merrick lived here mattered in it.
