Golden Glade Got a heart like a neon sign

At Rannoch's approach, Breccan's anxiety increased. But his father's expression was neutral and full of consideration, and his only comment as he seated himself next to Liffey was to ask whether Breccan would be back to visit. "Of course!" he replied swiftly, his nervousness dissipating slightly, to be replaced by excitement. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad!

But now that Liffey fully understood his request, she began to protest. Breccan's orange gaze shifted to his mother's face, upon which her feelings were clearly painted. She insisted that he didn't have the experience necessary to conduct such a trek, and he couldn't necessarily disagree; he hadn't traveled alone before, but how was he supposed to learn if he never tried it?

"I can do it," he said earnestly. "Nuna is back near the hollow -- I know how to get there. And Ibis is somewhere around there, too. I'll be careful," he promised, looking to his more level-headed father in hopes of getting more input in his favor.
