Whitebark Stream when I was a young warthog

After his impromptu trip back to Round Valley, Valiant was feeling a lot more at ease with himself. All that stuff with Alejandro? Well, it was easy to get confused. He'd just been missing his family, obviously, and looking to form connections no matter how inappropriate.

So he figured the first thing he should do now that he was back was form a more appropriate connection. Or rather, reintroduce himself to one he had left behind. He hoped that his Aunt Dawn would not be too put out with him for disappearing the way he had, or for failing to come and visit when he'd been in the area. Part of it was just being his father's son, and having that wandering spirit in him passed down from Grayday himself — but he knew he should've at least said goodbye before running off after his father.

He stood at the borders and howled for @Dawn, hoping she was in and available to hear his groveling and apologies.
