Before much could be said, Okeanos arrived and Ibis felt a weight lift from her shoulders. It hadn't occurred to her until she had been escorting the boy back to the forest, but, she really had no idea what she was doing. Having her brother there helped immediately, and she sighed, smiling to him as he approached. Ibis also wondered where the boy had come from but had been too fixated on getting him somewhere safe, so she hadn't asked; when Okeanos did, she looked to Cam expectantly.
His answer was like a gut-punch; even the childish drawl could not hide the familiar name of Elysium from her ears. Big trees, he'd said? There was no other place like the willows — did that mean Cam was one of their siblings? Why was he out here instead of safe within the confines of the willow forest? It was Ibis' turn to go quiet as thoughts ricocheted in her head; but she looked to Okeanos with her eyes wide, expressive, nostalgic - then concerned.

Elysium,she said as calmly as she could, and her gaze trailed across the petite boy.
And your mother - what is her name?Was it Seabreeze? Olive? Or perhaps --
Lily, right?The thought struck her just as suddenly as the previous realization but this time Ibis felt certain she knew. He looked so much like Lily - why did it take this long to connect those dots? If she was right, Lily would be worried sick for her little one!
