Neverwinter Forest against warmth embrace

I'm just going to assume nothing spectacularly unexpected happens in other threads. XD

He'd been out hunting when he'd crossed paths with Caerus' scent. Cupid didn't seem to be following. Okay, Caerus wasn't quite as helpless as he was before, but that didn't mean he could be totally unescorted this far from the den.  So, instead of showing up at Miriam's den with food, he showed up as just himself, creeping forward at first just in case as he followed the scent... Which went right into the den from the direction of it. Oh geez.

Mal was going to call out -- but then he heard Caerus talking but garbled kid-voice at a distance wasn't very good for giving him context. Uh. Mal moved forward a bit more quickly, poking his head inside, confused but upbeat, Caerus? What're you doing way over here? He looked between the pair four of them but it seemed everything was ok? Hell, he was still gonna ask, Everything all good? More to Miriam than Caerus for that question, probably. He was more confused than worried because his only experience had been with Cupid, who he still suspected would eat someone alive if they ambled into his den uninvited. Some part of him wanted to just yank Caerus out by his tail before something happened but at the same time it seemed so civil so far, so that'd be like... mega overreaction.
