Neverwinter Forest Where all problems seem to disappear

Aside from the fact that a few people had disappeared roughly in the same period of time -- Clover, Zephyr, Kratos, now maybe also Atausiq? -- Mal thought things were going pretty well. Hopefully whoever it was Ying was sending to train people would show up soon, but he wasn't sure who all would be on the other end of that. He did think it would be good if @Simmik had a chance to get some more experience, but if Atausiq was actually gone, then who did that leave as someone who'd be getting the bulk of the training? Like it was one thing to be able to just defend yourself, but being really good at it? Mentally he found it easier to just cross people off the list than add to it. It almost sounded like that if Atausiq didn't come back by then, then Mal might have to step up -- and that was totally not his jam... But if he had to... Ugh. He was only considering it because he wanted to make sure his kids were safe.

He was just taking a jaunt through the middle of the territory today, he'd done border work earlier before the weather turned, and now Mal was curious who fate might drop in his path today -- he did need to check in with some of them, just a matter of who he found first. Had anyone actually gone and met Cupid and Caerus? It wasn't like Mal had gone out of his way to keep them a secret or anything, but last time he'd been by it hadn't seem like they'd had a ton of visitors. So. Who would he find today?
