Ravensblood Forest suddenly he's up and gone

Some stranger? Verx echoed, his brow furrowing in some irritation. Goddamn it, Aure, what the fuck were you doing out here with them? Leaving them with strangers? Ugh. He figured it was a mess he'd have to clean up, and he added it to the pile. One mess labeled Illidan, one labeled Raleska, one labeled Caiaphas, one labeled. . . Fucking hell.

Well, at least Isi had stayed put, hopefully. With a sigh, he nodded, and then his attention was grabbed by the soft query from elsewhere—

Aww, at least Reyes was courteous about it. His heart melted a little at the request before focusing on his son again, the tension in his shoulders easing still more as Dragomir agreed. Thus, it was so. They would find Isi and travel back to Rusalka together. Let's go get her, then, he rasped to the boys, rising with a groan to his paws.

Whatever came next. . .he'd cross that goddamn bridge. He was just happy for this moment, calamitous as it had occurred.
