Neverwinter Forest And it feels like yesterday was a year ago

Mal had plenty of his own reservations about Rosalie. Probably something to do with mothers in general. Bad experiences. Not that he exactly had many to start. All he knew wouldn't be too stoked if it was his own family... But maybe Zeph's was different.

They were nearing where Zeph and Kratos were staying, and at this point he kind of needed to figure out how to approach this whole mess more in detail, didn't he? So he looked over, Let me go up and talk to him real quick first. Just tell him what I told you and stuff. He didn't want to have to like.. Actually block her if she was gonna go busting on forward and ignore him but he was sort of expecting some sort of irrational response or something. What exactly? No clue. Chicks were weird, and older ones were weirder. He looked for some sort of agreement.

Assuming she did, Mal stepped forward and called out, Yo, Zeph? At that point Mal stepped forward at a faster clip to look for him, one ear pointed at Rosalie just in case she decided to not wait for the necessary ten seconds. Find Zeph, give him a heads up. Just a little "hey, your mom is here," kind of thing. And that he was gonna have to figure out how to best mention Kratos because Mal couldn't find a good way to do so.
