Whitefish River Forgive My Sins

Just as life had grown quiet, something had to come up. That's just how things were after all, but even with troubling news of the Saints, there was still time. They were still just far enough and just weak enough to be out of sight out of mind, but that would not last for long. Ira knew there would be trouble in due time. @Hieronymous had just switch out with her to give the Count the opportunity to move around for a bit, though before she could get far she was greeted by the recently absent Howl.

Ira had been aware of the male's departure, Hieronymous updated her after he was gone, but did not provide much of a reason. It was troubling, but there was a promise to return and just as he had said he did. A moment of surprise caught her by his presence, she had been so focused on everything else she had almost forgotten the Physician's absence. Howl— you have returned from your trip?
